I'll go first! FireBush03. This is a combination of the names Fire Fiesta & Alpha Ambush, which were the names of my YouTube channel from June 2015 -> June 2016 & June 2016 -> present. The '03' is in reference to the year I was born...yes, I am a baby lol. (If you rlly wanna feel old, I was in middle school when Nintendo Switch launched.)

Over 2 million views - not bad! What made you stop?

I was running a Skylanders channel, and Activision had strongly suggested that Skylanders may not be returning for 2017 during the Feburary press conference. This combined with the release of Breath of the Wild one month later -- which (i) was the first non-Skylaners game I had played since 2011, and (ii) was so much fun that it made me lose all interest in Skylanders -- convinced me to move on from YouTube. I did try starting up a Nintendo channel (Cappy64 during January 2018), but the YT burnout made me really unmotivated to keep on going.
