Other Interests
Gaming Origins
TSM_Hamlinz started playing video games when he was around four-years-old. His parents bought him any game system that he asked for, so he was able to hone his skills on all types of game systems. He started playing RuneScape when he was around eight years old and still plays it sometimes. In fact, it was the main game that he streamed until Fortnite came out. He discovered streaming 2015 and immediately knew that that was what he wanted to do as a career. He worked as a delivery driver for seven hours a day and then work on his stream for another six hours. He did this for five months before he finally started getting somewhere with his stream.
Professional Gaming
However, it was only when he started streaming Fortnite that his viewership picked up and he was really able to stream full-time. He was initially motivated to begin playing Fortnite when he watched DrDisrespect and Ninja playing it and thought that the building aspect looked like fun. He and TSM_Myth would often face each other in Fortnight, which lead to Myth inviting him to join TSM in February 2018 and eventually moving into the TSM house in California.
In a surprise move, both he and Daequan announced that they were now part of NRG's Thoom house in August 2021. However, the Thoom house collapsed within three months. Since then, he has hardly streamed at all.
