VideoGamePhenom
VideoGamePhenom is an American gaming YouTuber. This user focuses mainly on Nintendo games such as Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Kirby, and many others.
VideoGamePhenom has become a very iconic gamer, but it has ran into multiple setbacks, especially for rival gamer NintendoGamingHD flagging videos for copyright and other harassment allegations.
Starting out small
The user first started out small as VideoGamePhenomHD on February 28, 2011. The channel was named after GuitarHeroPhenom, a Guitar Hero player. VGPHD adopted the name so that it could attract a wider audience of viewership, which seemed to paid off very fluently. It began with the Pokémon games from the first to fifth generation. After that, VGP spent the summer doing other franchises, like Mario, Zelda, boxing, and even Mega Man. Holy cow! Doing multiple franchises sparked a sign of hope to draw in nearly ten thousand subscribers with over a million views worldwide.
By 2013, VGP began using a Hauppauge HD PVR to do later consoles which show 3D graphical games, drawing even bigger audiences. Despite its stellar performance, VGP retired in November 2013 by closing its channel, citing personal reasons and lack of quality on videos. Why go out like this? Honestly?
Rebrand as VideoGamePhenom
The user returned to YouTube in March of 2016, rebranded as VideoGamePhenom. It did the same games as it did before, this time with frame rates increased to 60 frames per second (FPS). Despite its return, its tenure stalled when NintendoGamingHD started flagging videos for copyright infringement, resulting in the seizure of nearly 60 videos. Although YouTube requires that no individual user is allowed to make any such claim, the perpetrator is lucky to avoid getting kicked off YouTube. Because VGP was on an MCN partnership, it could not be terminated, even if its channel had 3+ copyright strikes. The videos it lost were restored a month later. VGP closed its channel again in March 2017.
VGP returned in April 2018, but a new channel owned by the same jerk who operated NintendoGamingHD flagged videos for copyright infringement AGAIN. This time, with the account VideoGameCollectionHD. The resulting massacre took down every video VGP had owned, and its account fell in action. VGP returned a week later, but the owner of the rivaling accounts just kept on performing illegal oversight on what VGP was doing. VGP was terminated in January 2019 after the assailant operating VideoGameCollectionHD flagged videos for copyright infringement yet again.
VGP rose again on April 11, 2019, doing different games to avoid falling into the trap of VideoGameCollectionHD. Contra, a run-and-gun throwback game, was what it did. It even did other games like Ninja Gaiden, The Simpsons, Spider-Man, and everything else on the NES and Game Boy respectively.
Philosophy
VideoGamePhenom writes titles and descriptions very fluently for each of its video. The descriptions explain about the levels and how to beat them.
Skills
VGP is skilled in building and repairing computers. Holy cow! How big of a buff can you be to do that?!
Friends
VGP is friends with fellow YouTubers FamilyJules, RichaadEB, LittleVMills, and other heavy metal game remixers. How do you love game metal? Honestly?
