Im just always competing andalwaystalking shit.
But these days, the musician is all-in on the worlds biggest first-person shooter,Call of Duty.
I actually make everybody jealous, he says.
I have a table that looks like a beer pong table, but its black.
[It] has a built-in desktop.
So, it folds out and then theres two monitors that come up behind it.
But the musician isnt just there to peep the game, hes ready to play.
He does all night, in fact.
Since 2009, its helped place over 130 thousand veterans in careers that match their skills.
This year, Brown is the guest of honor and competing alongside the vets.
For them to go and fight for our country and then be homeless?
Theyre asking for money.
To me, thats the saddest thing I could possibly see.
So, this is an awesome foundation.
I think the hardest part would be getting set up, he says.
But, if you do get yourself set up, that could be your job.
I got a friend online who streams, and he was in the military.
He even admits to being starstruck by creators likeTacticalGramma.
Among other passionate gamers, the musician feels at home, surprisingly more so than he does on stage.
I play with Sean OMalley, [who] is a UFC fighter.
Hes really into it, really competitive.
We just did a kill race the other day.
I won, of course.
