I've been following this guy on You Tube for a little over a year now. I stumbled on his channel because someone on CODHQ mentioned his sniping and use of the bolt action without the scope. Most of you know how fanatical I was about the unscoped BAs. Anyhow, this guy started getting more and more fans which increased even faster after he started getting published on Machinima's channel. With so much success he was offered a job by Machinima and will now be a content manager at Machinima for FPS's.

Anyhow, I just wanted to share this guy's story. He is basically living the nerd dream. Coming from waiting tables for 6 years to working for Machinima seems like something any of us would want. As this goes on we may start to see him as he is covering events like E3 for Machinima. He is probably the least douchy person I'd ever seen on You Tube and I hope that translates to his new job. It seems like a lot of commentators who are covering video game expos are huge douche bags or attractive women who are probably paid very well. To see a normal guy get boosted up that high is pretty fucking cool.

Did his girlfriend have herpes or something? I'm wondering what happened.

I think she cheated on him. Not sure though.

Its funny, because I've been following all of his videos for a while so I got to see how they were together. In a few of his videos he mentioned how they were going to have a 3-way and I automatically knew they were going to break up at some point.

besides that part of his personal life he seems like a really chill guy and I like the content he makes.

Damn. That is a cool story.
Congrats to him. Gets paid to do what he loves.

I was watching some of his vids today and i like his playstyle. He actually goes for the win and sees kills as a by product much like i do

for sure. He really knows his shit when it comes to COD. I wish I could trap spawns like he does, I can never seem to get it right.
