A former English university student in Dublin, he moved to Japan as a professional English tutor. He is known for playing games such as Cities Skylines, Planet Coaster, Minecraft, Terraria, Hitman 2, Sea of Thieves, and The Sims 3 and 4.
About[]
Health Issues[]
RT has mentioned on several occasions that he suffers from lung problems:
On August 3, 2018, he explained in the video So hey, I'm living through a natural disaster right now that 3 years prior to the video his lung collapsed and had to be re-inflated at the hospital. He explained he can't sleep on his left side without feeling like he's going to suffocate. One of the things his lung is sensitive to was differences in temperature. At the time of the upload, he lived in Japan during the 2018 global heatwave.
On July 18, 2019, he had to end the Hitman 2 stream. The goal of the stream was for each Twitch subscription he had to kill a NPC in the game. At first his subscription jingle was the first 2 phrases of the intro of the comedy series Frasier. After a while he changed it to the first 2 phrases of the theme song of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. But instead of the clapping, he edited in gunshots. He didn't get around to playing Hitman 2 after that as he was laughing so hard his lung became sore.
During the Twitch stream of April 7, 2020, City Skylines he read out a donation of a fan who hoped people would stay home as much as they can during the COVID pandemic due to being immunocompromised. RT replied saying he'd hope so too and that he's forced to stay in due to his lung issues making him immunocompromised and at high risk if he were to get the virus.
On July 29, 2020, in the now-privated video Let's capture Villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, streamer and Youtuber Plumbella jokingly asked: "Are you afraid of running or do you have asthma in this game?" He jokingly replied he had to watch out for his lung collapsing.
Private Life[]
From January until December 2019 he maintained a relationship with Rhianna of the channel SootHouse. He has since privatized the Mario Party video featuring the two of them. On August 22nd 2020 RT and Plumbella confirmed they were in a relationship. On December 13th, 2020, RT confirmed through a tweet that he is not in a relationship with anyone.
Residence[]
For an English study trip, RT lived in Tokyo, Japan for about 8 months, and moved back to Ireland on October 2, 2018.
Moving to Japan[]
RT moved to Japan on January 31, 2018, and released So hey, I moved to Japan., a video where he explained why he moved to Japan. He also released Visiting Japan's Only Fox Village to celebrate 600,000 Subscribers, where he visited a fox village.
Moving back to Ireland[]
RT moved to Ireland again after being in Japan for two thirds a year and uploaded So hey, I moved back to Ireland ft. My Cat George, announcing moving back to his home country.
Old Series[]
RT has played many games in his time on the channel and has stopped playing some of them. Some of these include:
- Team Fortress 2, a game he has been playing for years and has hundreds of videos. He stopped playing in 2018.
- His old Terraria series has over 30 videos and played for about 6 months. He played the series with his friends Stewpot and Zachary.
- About 6 years ago, RT started playing Dungeon Defenders with Stewart, about 2 years after the first Terraria series. He stopped playing in 2014.
New Age RT[]
RT's videos as of June 2018 are considered New Age RT. It was at this point his content shifted drastically, and he opened his content to a higher variety (as opposed to the prior focus on Team Fortress 2). This was when he started Skyrim and his love for Fallout. Some series that blossomed out of the New Age are:
- Fallout and Skyrim, as mentioned before.
- Don't Starve Together, one of his favorite games that he has played with people like Soot Rhianna and CallMeKevin.
- His Hitman 2 series is by far one of his most popular series and is the spawn of channel memes like the clown costume and the blueberry muffin.
- A Minecraft collaboration with over 100 people who watch in stream, RT was a member of CallMeCarson's SMPLive server. RT was one of the later members of the server and mostly played with Wilbur Soot. He was also a member of Wilbur’s SMPEarth server after SMPLive ended on New Year's Day 2020.
Characters[]
His gameplay videos include some notable recurring characters.
- IWantDie is a Mii created by RTGame. The Mii was created in Killing Miis For Sport in Wii Sports Resort and has since appeared in more Wii games. He was supposed to be in Nintendo Land but was instead replaced by the knock-off counterparts BootlegDie, IWantDie3, and MeLikePain. I want die is also an island for a map that RTGame made on the game Tropico 6. He "Bounced mortality off the wall" in the 2021 WWMII. He serves as both the protagonist and main antagonist of the RTGame Cinematic Universe (Miitopia), with his original design being that of the Dark Curse, while the more modern design was used for the playable hero, whose job changed from a chef, to a scientist, to a princess, then returned to a scientist and remained that way for the rest of the series.
- End Mii is a Mii made for the Wii game Wii Play but does not appear frequently. The Mii appears in the baseball section of RTGame's Wii Sports video, as the sport uses other Miis from the player's console as teammates, and in Tomodachi Life. He appears in the RTGame Cinematic Universe as a chef, but only as a post game character, and does not have a major impact on the story.
- Ross Bob is an elderly Sim in a 4-part gameplay series of The Sims 3. He is a member of the Bob Family. The Sim also appears in RTGame's gameplay of The Sims 4, but with less successful results. A Mii version of Ross Bob is seen in Tomodachi Life.
- The Bob Family is a group of Sims that include Ross Bob, but include more. These included Bob, Billy, Billy[3], Gruntilda, and Waluigi Bob, as well as Barbara Barbara and Harry Hill. They have two pets named Afraid, their cat, and NotEpona, their horse.
- Connor Theandroidsen is a Sim used in multiple videos, such as his hedge maze video, and his obstacle course video.
- This is a reference to Connor the Android from the popular videogame Detroit: Become Human.
- While not one character, Brexit is a name given to multiple characters that allow custom naming but not a custom design. The name was first used for the rival of the player character (named Article 13) in a Pokémon gameplay and later for a dog in Nintendogs.
- Cupcake is a Shiny Wooloo Pokémon from the Pokémon Sword and Shield playthrough. He wanted to beat the game by almost exclusively using this specific Pokémon. Cupcake reappears in the RTGame Cinematic Universe, as one of IWantDie's allies in Neksdor, in which she takes the job of the cat.
- He hunted for a Shiny Wooloo for 49 hours over a span of 4 months before finally encountering one in the 12th stream. He completed the main game with this Pokémon in the 16th stream and completed all of the DLCs in the 21st stream. Cupcake is currently the only Pokémon in RT's Pokédex to be at max level.
Minecraft[]
RTGame has a Minecraft server only accessible to his Twitch Subscribers where he makes them build certain things. His first Minecraft video involved 50-player Skyblock.
Koroks[]
Koroks are forest creatures (and also collectibles) from the Legend Of Zelda series. Koroks take on the appearance of being very small and wooden, with a tiny leaf on their head. Sometimes there are Koroks in random parts of buildings in RTGame's Minecraft server as a little secret. Koroks are always accompanied with a nearby wooden sign.
New Earth[]
New Earth is a project in RTGame's Minecraft server which involves a 1:4000 replica of Earth. Fans are tasked with going to random locations on the replica and building something random related to the location, such as Mangrove Trees in India, and Tetris in Russia. In early August 2023, the project was completed. After a near-year hiatus, starting December 2021 after the India video, a video reviewing the existing builds was uploaded on December 8, 2022. Central America, Brazil, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, South America and Maritime Asia, along with other places, were completed. Some non-geography related projects were built, like 10,000 block wall for pixel art. The server had banned pixel art due to it taking up space and obscuring other buildings.
Gay Club[]
Gay Club is a recurring joke where somebody builds a "Gay Club". The entrances are usually quite secret, such as flushing yourself down a toliet.
Predictions[]
There are two Minecraft videos where RTGame tasks his viewers with building the next year. These always occur near the end of a year.
1 Million Twitch Followers Stream[]

RTGame decided to celebrate 1 million followers by slapping random memes on the screen, including channel memes. During this stream the follower count wildly fluctuated because his followers like to do a little trolling. Also here's a list of some of the memes, put into a text garbler.
- Leipää in Fortnitessamme
