History[]
Before Roblox[]
Like TwiistedPandora, and unlike most Roblox YouTubers, Russo started out playing Pokémon GO and created hack and cheat tutorials. Russo also played Slither.io, Clash Royale, Minecraft: Money Wars, and many other mobile games. Unlike most Roblox YouTubers, Russo discovered Roblox quickly after beginning YouTube, and he mostly played Pokémon GO remake games there.
Roblox[]
After discovering Roblox, Russo played Pokémon GO remake games and later played “Roblox Project Pokémon”. While playing Roblox, Russo still uploaded Minecraft: Money Wars videos, but was more into Roblox. Later, a new Pokémon game on Roblox was released, called “Pokémon Brick Bronze”; and Russo began playing that over Project Pokémon. He live-streamed Pokemon Brick Bronze and got 4K+ concurrent viewers on his Pokemon Brick Bronze: Aredia City Update. Russo was doing very good off of Pokemon Brick Bronze but later the game was removed for copyright reasons. After that, he noticed his Pet Simulator videos were doing well and the views stood out to other videos which made him decide to move mainly to Roblox Simulators. Russo now mainly does simulators. He also created multiple games like Tapping Gods and the two upcoming Games which were Pet Fighting Simulator and Anime Battle Tycoon. All of his games were developed by the groups BlueDevGroup (Tapping Gods), Lajebo Games (Anime Battle Tycoon) and Pet Friendly Group (Pet Fighter Simulator).
