His main channel, TotalHalibut, features videos of him commentating on a multitude of video games.? He does several series of videos on YouTube, most notably his Terraria videos which includes other YouTuber Jesse Cox of OMFGcata, WTF is... in which he blindly plays an Indie game and gives his opinin of it, The Salebox, where he talks about deals on Steam whenever they happen, and Content Patch which recently replaced an older series called 'The Mailbox' where he answered user submitted questions regarding video games.

He has stated repeatedly that he does NOT take requests and will NOT do Let's-Plays, nor will he ever put minecraft on his channel. He has also asserted that Terraria is NOT a Let's Play. His explanation can be seen by a video that was taken by his wife, Genna Bain, on her own YouTube channel.
