About My Videos


Provided below are answers to some basic questions with the intent for you to better learn about the videos that I create.


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.

Upcoming Videos

Here's some info on upcoming projects for the channel.


Life is Strange 2 (Coming January 4, 2025)

With the announcement of a new Life is Strange game, as well as the announcement of my upcoming playthrough of it, I've also decided to do a playthrough of Life is Strange 2. I had originally planned to bring the game to the channel back when it released, but opted out of doing so. The game has direct tie-ins to "The Adventures of Captain Jack", which will also make an appearance during this playthrough.

Life is Strange: True Colors (Coming 2025)

With the announcement of a new Life is Strange game, as well as the announcement of my upcoming playthrough of it, I've also decided to do a playthrough of Life is Strange True Colors. This will release after my playthrough of Life is Strange 2.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure (Coming 2025)

Taking place after the original Life is Strange game, Double Exposure goes back to Max Caulfield, this time in college, as she investigates the murder of her friend. The game is slated for release in October 2024. This playthough series will release after my playthrough of Life is Strange True Colors.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown (Coming October 2024)

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown released on September 12th, 2024. I intend to start recording soon, showcasing my progress. It is unknown at this time if the series on my channel will be a part of another series, or if it will feature other members of Bad Fellas.

Currently Active

Here's some info on currently-running series on the channel.


Among Us (2020 - Present)

Following the great COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Among Us' popularity skyrocketed, and I couldn't help but give it a try. Members of Bad Fellas have joined me as we laugh our asses off, make terrible jokes, get drunk, and try to survive.

Brighton: Law (2022 - Present)

My return to creating police roleplay videos kicked off in 2022, with the introduction of new series "Brighton: Law", which features gameplay from "Police Simulator: Patrol Officers". This series features Zak (AlphaAndOmegaGaming) and Dan (Cdaarnl), as we battle the crazy events in the Boston-based city of Brighton.

Cards Against Humanity (2023 - Present)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

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)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

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.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands (2015 - 2016; 2024 - Present)

Starting off in the open beta, this series showed very little releases throughout 2015 and 2016, and was quietly discontinued.

The series made its grand return on the channel on New Years Day 2024, featuring Cdaarnl and Trks.

Insurgency Sandstorm (2022; 2024)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

Premiering as a two-part session featuring Raistlyn (RedFirefox2491), Insurgency Sandstorm is a first-person shooter featuring gunfights between the military and insurgents in the Middle-East. No other episodes were recorded, due to conflicting schedules and other reasons.

The series makes a return in 2024 with new episodes, also in collaboration with Raistlyn.

Minecraft (2023 - Present)

A series that has been a long time coming to the channel finally made its debut in late 2023. My Minecraft series features gameplay of special gamemodes, such as ChunkLock.

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)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

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.

Ready or Not (2022 - Present)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

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. Simply put, you work as a SWAT team with the Los Sueños (based on Los Angeles) Police Department, as you have to complete missions that require stealth, precision, communication, and good judgement. 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.

San Andreas: Life (2017 - Present)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

A replacement of "San Andreas: Wanted", this series is a spin-off of "San Andreas: Law" featuring Grand Theft Auto: Online. Plans are in the works to bring FiveM content to this series, as well.

Travel & Transport (2021 - Present)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

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.

VLOGS (2015; 2022 - Present)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

Short for "VEKTR0.logs", "VLOGS" is my series of video logs that are simple, personal, and showcase updates for the channel. This typically includes new games being added to the channel, graphic design releases, and even music production related updates.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2014 - 2016)

The second series to ever appear on my channel, and my first simulation series, my ETS2 series featured the base game, some DLC's, and some game mods. The series was originally killed off to be replaced by my American Truck Simulator series, but was brought back for a little while. The series was then replaced by "Worldwide Trucking", which also featured American Truck Simulator.

Far Cry 5 (2018 - 2020)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

The fifth main installment in the Far Cry franchise, Far Cry 5 takes is the first in the franchise to take place in the United States, more specifically, in Montana. Open fields, tractors, and whole lot of guns and explosives help set up this game for major success. My series was short, only having three episodes, featured Hardtruck1.

Ghost Recon: Breakpoint (2019)

Starting off in the open beta, this series was featured for a little bit as a sequel to my Ghost Recon: Wildlands series. Due to low viewership, the series was quietly killed off.

Just Act Natural (2022)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

Only featuring a single episode, Just Act Natural is a game-titled series featuring friends and members of Bad Fellas, where acting natural is how you survive.

LCPDFR (2014 - 2015)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

The very first series to appear on my channel, LCPDFR featured me taking on the role as law enforcement in Grand Theft Auto IV. The series was killed off unexpectedly in 2015, with the release of Grand Theft Auto V, due to software compatibility issues. The series would make a return later on, for a limited run, before being discontinued. LCPDFR returned under a new series in 2017, titled "Liberty: Law".

Liberty: Law (2017)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

My attempted return to law enforcement in Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City, and a sister-series to my major "San Andreas: Law" series. After only three episodes, the series ended abruptly without warning due to an unexpected game update that forever ruined modding in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Life is Strange (2017)

My initial playthrough of the original Life is Strange, featuring main character, Max Caulfield, and her best friend, Chloe Price. Yes, I really did cry.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm (2017)

My initial playthrough of the prequal to Life is Strange, featuring main character, Chloe Price, and her best friend, Rachel Amber.

LSPDFR (2015 - 2016)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

The successor to my LCPDFR series, I took on the role of law enforcement in Grand Theft Auto V. This series, while only lasting for less than a year, featured 133 episodes. The series had a planned cancellation in 2016, to pave the way for a successor original series titled "San Andreas: Law".

Mafia: Definitive Edition Trilogy (2022)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

After wanting to do another playthrough series on the channel, Mafia (Definitive Edition) was featured as an eight-part limited series. This was followed up by Mafia II, though only 3 episodes were released before being cancelled.

Propnight (2022 - 2023)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

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.

Rainbow Six Specials (2021)

A spin-off of my Rainbow Six Siege series, featuring prop-hunt, hide and seek, and more content that isn't typical of my Rainbow Six Siege series. The series was quietly cancelled in June 2024, with the last episode being featured in December 2021. In September of 2024, it was decided that any content that would have been under this series would be featured in Rainbow Six Siege, instead, as that series was revived for (mostly) Ranked content.

Superliminal (2023)

A two-part mini-series featuring my playthrough of "Superliminal", a game about seeing things from a different perspective.

The Long Dark (2015 - 2016; 2020)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

The Long Dark started out as a sandbox survival game in Early Access, but grew over time with new maps, better graphics, better mechanics, and even a Story Mode. Though I enjoyed recording hours of content, a mix of work schedules and loss of interest from viewers led to the series coming to a close.

Worldwide Transit (2019)

A spinoff series of "Worldwide Trucking", which only featured 1 episode of Bus Simulator 18. This series was later replaced with "Travel & Transport", a series that combines all my "Worldwide Trilogy" collection into one simulation series.

Worldwide Travel (2017 - 2020)

A spinoff series of "Worldwide Trucking", which only featured 1 episode of The Crew 2. This series was later replaced with "Travel & Transport", a series that combines all my "Worldwide Trilogy" collection into one simulation series.

Worldwide Trucking (2017 - 2020)

View all uploaded thumbnails here!

A successor to my American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 series, which features both games in one series. This series was later replaced with "Travel & Transport", a series that combines all my "Worldwide Trilogy" collection into one simulation series.
