Sark and Hutch. Soon after Hutch left his job at Machinima, for his own personal reasons, Adam did the same, with Mr. Sark trailing along after a few months. When he first created his account, he tried to use Nanners, because one of his friends used to call him bananas for nanners. However, Nanners was already taken, and he was given the suggestion of SeaNanners. Besides this, he lives a healthy life of exercise, having notable skill and keen interest in skateboarding and other sports.
He also enjoys wine. In the video "Adam the Craftsman" by YouTuber DanielCiurlizza, Adam is shown to be a very talented artist, a hobby he occasionally pursues. The game involves a group of unknown players "Traitors" attempting to kill all those not within that group the "Innocent" while the Innocent attempt to discover and eliminate all the Traitors.
As Adam is often selected as a Traitor and is quite proficient at convincing the Innocent of his trustworthiness before killing them , Adam's friends have become quite skeptical of his innocence.
Adam, as a Traitor or aiding one often ad-libs elaborate stories to attract innocent players, before killing them all. These stories are also told in many of his other videos, such as his Hidden series, and usually precede his killing of another character. I'm a very unique snowflake. I don't know too many people who do what I do I'm like a confused Renaissance man.
He's also a very popular one. Montoya holds a remarkable presence in the gaming community. His YouTube channel has more than a million subscribers, while his game-play clips have been viewed more than million times. He is reluctant to talk about his finances but after some prodding reveals that his gaming commentary and related work earns him a six-figure annual income.
I'm making a really good living out of it, which is amazing. But it happened by accident. It wasn't planned. A decade ago, Montoya was on his way to crafting a very different future for himself. Rather than games and controllers taking over his desk, it was business and calculus textbooks. Instead, Montoya studied filmmaking.
But after earning a degree in television, film and new media production, Montoya said he found himself discouraged with trying to find a job. I did a lot of freelance gigs, shot weddings and tried to start a production company. It gets tough when you're unemployed and don't know what you're doing," he said. I was just filling time. I wasn't happy. Montoya loved playing video games.
But little did he know that one of his favorite pastimes would eventually power-up his career. It was a random coincidence. His gamer handle was sort of an accident. It wasn't a coincidence that , YouTube subscribers later, Machinima, an entertainment network for gamers, approached him to join their directors program.
Montoya quickly became a segment producer at Machinima but left earlier this year to focus on his own channel. But it has never been about the money for me," Montoya said.
I am totally happy. Initially, what happens is that people will jump on YouTube to complete some level or get tips or tricks on some game that they enjoy. Back in the day when I started my channel, it was for fun, and it was something that seemed like something I wanted to be a part of.
This is the type of things you need to remember on this map or what have you. Oh OK, he likes skateboarding, and he likes the movie that I like. I would have to say that the success of my channel revolved around the willingness to be open. The Internet is kind of mean. Why would you subject yourself to something like that? Why not?
A lot of people tend to see this platform as a very confrontational, negative one, and it is for the most part. If you do some videos, it is kind of difficult to want to be a part of it. Everything is very controlled and micro managed, and everything must be a certain way.
Then it was pretty much talk for 5 to 10 minutes. I tend to ramble, so this platform definitely makes a lot of sense because I can basically talk about whatever the topic may be and just explain at length. I think that it made sense to simply have voice-over and gameplay, because it was the easiest. It was just a way to put yourself out there. Multiplayer makes the most sense to me. That was the game.
Of course, there was Nintendo 64, which is a huge platform as well. I think to each their own. There is a lot of strength in the narrative structure, but myself personally, I just engage in that space in that way.
I want to go here, and I want to see that. Yeah, I think that games that allow you to take different paths are the ones that will. We had a good time! I have family, friends, and girlfriends and things that I need to do. It just varies, to be honest. There is no method. You should give this a shot. It is just random. I know that there are certain channels on YouTube that are very specific to what they do, but I like to think of my channel as more or less grounded in gaming, and it just goes wherever.
I think what happens is that if people follow your channel for you and not so much your content, then you have the ability to do whatever feels right. It should work case by case. I personally look at it as a like to dislike ratio. I look at the general consensus and make a decision based upon that. I think that the comments and the favorites and like to dislikes reflect that. It is very one to one. As long as you have a thick skin, you should be fine for sure.
If you were unhappy about the outcome of X, Y, or Z, then just go elsewhere. Think about all the trilogies in history that may not have ended the way a lot of people would have preferred. It is what it is. To be creative, you should be given certain freedoms, and that is to make something you like.
It was for fun. They pursue a lot of things, and I went to school for film. My goal—air quotes—was to be an editor. My YouTube channel is my little art gallery.
I go there to put up my work as it were. That really gets to me. Earning money is fine. I have nothing against people earning money. You do something for fun; if money comes, then great. I worry that people in the gaming space will forget why they started this in the first place, and that was because you wanted to be a part of this big, awesome, cool thing.
Only time will tell. I try my best, every opportunity I can, to be positive and fun and to not whore myself out. It is tough, because on one hand people are quitting their jobs to do this. Unfortunately, with great power comes responsibility.
