History[]
Brad began his channel by uploading a let's play series on The Sims 3. He regularly uploaded videos on an array of video games such as Minecraft, Saints Row and Call of Duty.
In 2013, Brad began uploading videos on the popular Grand Theft Auto IV. He would showcase mods that he had installed and would proceed to play through the game with them in a 'funtage' style, adding sound effects and dramatic music for humorous effect. He created characters in the game, naming a handful of NPCs and giving them personalities. The popularity of these videos led to his channel greatly increasing in size.
In late 2013, with the release of Grand Theft Auto V, Brad left Grand Theft Auto IV and began creating content on the newly-released game instead. Similar to his GTA IV content, his GTA V videos became extremely popular, amassing millions of views. By this point, Brad had fully embraced the 'funtage' style, and it had become very popular with his audience.
