EBZ was issued a $700 speeding ticket during one of his live streams and as you might imagine, he was not very happy about it. It might seem hard to believe in 2019, but there are still people out there who appear to think it’s okay to drink alcohol and then get behind the wheel of a car. The likelihood of that happening increases during this time of year since there are festive parties and people deciding they want to go home after ringing in the New Year....

There’s also RGB chroma lighting packed here, so you can put on a show to jazz up your gaming setup....
