CapgunTom
Gaming Origins
His first console was a Sony PlayStation, but he has since accumulated many others.
In 2008, CapgunTom was addicted to Call of Duty 4, and was spending almost every waking hour playing it. Since he loved it so much, he decided to go on to YouTube to watch videos by top players in order to get some tips. He came across zzirGrizz’s content. CapgunTom enjoyed watching his no scope montages. So much so, that it inspired him to start working on his own scope-less sniping skills. After he had become quite skilled at them, he felt that there wasn’t much fun to it if he didn’t have anyone else to share his achievements with. Therefore, he started recording and uploading content to his own channel. His videos attracted a decent number of views, as YouTube wasn’t yet as saturated with gaming content as it is today. However, he took a hiatus from producing content while he went to university for a couple of years.
Professional Gaming
During one of his summer breaks, he was alone at university and, out of boredom, decided to start recording his Call of Duty 2 gameplays. At first, he barely attracted viewership. He switched to FIFA 12 when it released, by creating his ‘Making a Million’ series. It soon gained popularity, with many of them gaining over 100,000 views. This built the foundation of his channel. When he completed is degree, he decided to pursue streaming as a fulltime career.
Relationships
He has a fiancé.
