About My Videos
FAQ's
What programs and equipment do you use to make YouTube videos?
Let's start with my equipment. My microphone is a Blue Sona microphone, connected to my Helicon GoXLR mixer, with a built-in noise gate, which is connected to my PC.
For recording my voice, I use Sound Forge Audio Studio 12.
I use Nvidia Share to record my gameplay, gameplay audio, and an extra audio source. If I'm recording with other people, this means recording (in most cases) Discord. If I'm recording by myself, I record my microphone's audio input so I can sync my audio easier.
After recordings, I transfer my recording files through my network to my G-RAID that's connected to my 2020 M1 Mac Mini through Thunderbolt 3. I also use a 4TB Thunderbolt 3 SSD from SanDisk for the video editing process in Final Cut Pro X. After the edited video is finished exporting, the video is then sent to my PC through the network before being uploaded to YouTube.

Is there anyone that you would like to shout out?
First of all, I would like to thank Jase Wolf, who helped me build this website from scratch. Even though we've gone our separate ways, I'll always be thankful for your friendship.
Secondly, I'd like to give a shout out to Kovin for being an long-time subscriber to my channel, and being one of the most active subscribers.
Next, a huge shoutout to those who have donated to my channel, including 'somniumisdreaming', who was the first donator. Thank you so much, m'dudes.
Last, huge shoutout to the members of my Bad Fellas Media Group collective (more info on that, below).

What is the Bad Fellas Media Group (BFMG)?
In early 2016, I became a part of TheNorthernAlex's community, TheNorthernPack. Through this community, I've met some awesome guys and have formed a great bond with them. We play games together, laugh, and have all sorts of fun. At some point, I thought it would be awesome if we formed an official group. In late 2017, I started our collective, Bad Fellas Media Group (originally called Bad Fellas Entertainment). The name is from a song by Barely Alive and Astronaut, which released in mid-2015 on Disciple Recordings. Since the collective's creation, members have come and gone, but we're still one big, growing, terrifyingly stupid family.

Cards Against Humanity is a game that I've always wanted to feature on the channel. Luckily, as part of the 2023 Christmas special, I was able to record an episode with Jeremy (Mister_Bald), Taylor (Trks), and Roanin. More episodes will hopefully be coming, so I'm keeping the series in active status.

Forza Horizon 5 (2023 - Present)

Originally released in November 2021, Forza Horizon 5 was an immediate success. While original games took place in Colorado, Australia, and the UK, this installment in the franchise is set in Mexico. Gorgeous graphics, a massive selection of vehicles, and a ton of different season-based events help the game remain enjoyable after serveral years. I started playing the game the moment it released, and knew it would be a great game to include on the channel. This is what led to the series coming out in 2023. More episodes are to come, featuring various members of Bad Fellas, including Cdaarnl and Mister_Bald.

Payday 2 (2015; 2022 - Present)
View all uploaded thumbnails here!
While premiering early into my YouTube channel, Payday made a return in 2022, and features Hardtruck1 and Mister_Bald. While an enjoyable series to record, the game is very out-dated and likely won't last much longer on the channel. Its sequel, Payday 3, suffered much criticism at launch for its online-only requirements and game-breaking performance issues. Hopefully, over time, the game will become better and be a candidate for a series on the channel in Payday 2's place.

Rainbow Six Siege (2016 - Present)

The longest-running series on my channel, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege quickly became a staple on my channel. The first series to feature collaborations, this paved the way for some amazing content on the channel. Following the removal of Training Grounds (formerly known as Terrorist Hunt) in late 2023, Rainbow Six Siege content on the channel was discontinued in early 2024.
In September of 2024, the series was revived, featuring content from Ranked matches. It was also decided at this time that any content that would be a part of Rainbow Six Specials would also be featured through this series.

The next generation of tactical first-person shooters, Ready or Not made its entrance on the channel in 2022 when the game was in Early Access.

The series was introduced on the channel as an eventual replacement for longtime series "Rainbow Six Siege", which makes its grand exit from the channel in 2024.

San Andreas: Law (2016 - 2020; 2024 - Present)
View all uploaded thumbnails here!
The spin-off of my LSPDFR series, "San Andreas: Law" features police roleplay gameplay in Grand Theft Auto V. While the series started off without plans to break into seasons, the series would make a shift in 2019, with the introduction of Season 2.
Season 2 featured some changes to the series, with the introduction of new charcters across multiple agencies. One of the characters, Blaine County Sheriff Paul Lucas, would be killed off as part of the Season 2 finale.
Season 3 kicks off with Blaine County Sheriff Kate Andrews, who was previously a deputy with the department throughout Season 2, and was also Paul Lucas' protege. The season was cancelled abruptly after 13 episodes with the release of a Grand Theft Auto V update that would render LSPDFR broken for over half a year.
Season 4 was announced on March 31st, 2024, with a set premiere date of April 14, 2024. The series returned after a 3.5 year hiatus, featuring previous characters, new characters, and a completely different approach. The new season features 30 episodes, each featuring 2 different characters from different agencies (most of the time) in 2 different parts of San Andreas. The season is set to wrap up in December 2024.
Season 5 is planned for 2025, though it is still too early to decide any details beyond that.

The successor to my "Worldwide Trilogy" collection, this series focuses on simulation games such as American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Bus Simulator 22, Tourist Bus Simulator, and more. Due to my personal lack of interest in continuing the series, I am exploring the possibility of discontinuing the series towards the end of 2024. This decision is still very much up in the air, and is in no means an official, final decision until otherwise stated.

Propnight (2022 - 2023)

A series that I'd been wanting to do for a while, Propnight was an awesome multiplayer game. It was pretty much prop-hunt meets Dead By Daylight, and was an awesome addition to the channel.
The series met its unexpected demise in late 2023, when the developer was forced out of business for scamming customers of a new game they had created. They abruptly closed the Propnight servers without warning, thus putting an end to the series on my channel.
