Kikoskia

== "Let's Play Some Games"==

About
Kikoskia is a British (English) Let's Player that joined Youtube 15th August, 2007, since then he has played many different retro/roleplaying/indie style games (including his infamous Barbie Let's Plays). He has devolped his own quirky style of commentating making his videos have a unique and interesting view on games, also including his motto, "CHAINGUN!". He has gained over 35'000 subscribers during this time with about 32'520'000 views.

Private Life
Not much is known about Kikoskia, he has never shown his face and never plans to either, his subscribers don't see this as a problem, people think that it can turn into a bat habit (facecam etc.), nor does he want his private life to be unearthed by fans as this has been a problem for other Youtubers in the past. All we do know is he has a goaty beard, he was 27 years old as of 30th January, 2013 and he is writing/editing his first novel (name unkown).

The Beginning
As any other child, he played many video games, his favourites being RPGs, as with any game, you need a name, he typed in, 'k, i, k, o, s', and decided to add, 'kia', on the end, little did he know this name would be his key to online fame. Kikoskia watched Let's Plays on You Tube and he discovered that no-one has done his favourite game, Lands of Lore, so he decided to Let's Play it himself. This slowly started to make him quite popular on You Tube. Kiko started to play other types of games to bring in a larger audience, it worked.

Benefits
Kikoskia's popularity has proven to be a very positive outcome for both himself and others (not just with his videos). He found himself voice acting in a video game called Primordia. Kiko was also the inspiration for another popular Youtuber, Necroscope86, of which he became online friends with and they have done Co-op Let's Plays together like Portal 2.

Not a Theme Tune
Many Youtubers have either an intro or a theme tune to accompany their awsomeness, mostly their are fan made, I came up with something a little different...

 Kikoskia: A Legend

For him it all started out with many a random key,

K-i-k-o-s, and the rest is history.

Lands of lore started his internet domain,

And he gained many subscribers which he had to entertain.

From crazy bus to beating zombies with trains,

To Baldurs Gate enhanced edition and Barbie indie games.

Yelling 'CHAINGUN' at kamikazes all day,

Or shooting mutant frogs throughout the let’s play.

He has ventured far into the reaches of space,

With the aid of Jebadiah and others from the Kerman race.

Saying ‘zombie’ through every door like he doesn’t care,

Until hunters and dogs arrive and no ammo to spare.

Spawning in rock is no one’s cup of tea,

But only he could do it in a hard-core LP.

He inspired many others such as Necroscope 86,

<p class="MsoNormal">Only to then wing many one liners at their live streams on Twitch.

<p class="MsoNormal">Or maybe laugh at Necro like he’s a special case,

<p class="MsoNormal">When you’re recording Portal 2 and he’s out of hard drive space.

<p class="MsoNormal">Whether he’s sniffling all the time, or collecting the post,

<p class="MsoNormal">He is a YouTube legend, much better than most.

<p class="MsoNormal">He could be cutting Bobs heart out in Surgeon Sim,

<p class="MsoNormal">No matter what he plays he’ll always win.

<p class="MsoNormal">For he is Kikoskia, he’s great and don’t forget his name,

<p class="MsoNormal">Or he’ll get Barry Coleman to throw 70 rocks at you again and again.
