Bricky was originally a YouTube pooper, with his first video being of countering jungle as Yi and Ed, Edd and Eddy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8C9-Uj1an8&ab_channel=Bricky He would also make comedic story time videos, which are considered his best videos by longtime viewers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQtkFz7y-bc&ab_channel=Bricky Most of his early gaming videos were of League of Legends, Counter Strike Global Offensive and Fallout:New Vegas. On 4 July 2015,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a88xkvDHr7c&ab_channel=Bricky he reached 10K subscribers, which he celebrated with a face reveal and a Q&A.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nn0cOeX2JA&ab_channel=Bricky 
A lot of his videos were about how to main several League of Legends champions. In October of the same year he reached 50K subscribers,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2N07Ka6HnA&ab_channel=Bricky and he began playing Halo soon after.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf2aRORA0KQ&ab_channel=Bricky With his newfound fame, he announced that he would be attending SummonerConhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIwU1BAwgLw&ab_channel=Bricky and hoped to meet his fans. 
Regarding cons, he has attended several of them, even non gaming related ones such as the Renaissance Fair,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rKuym4JQY&ab_channel=Bricky where he and his friends dressed up as Templars, and put his friends in the stocks for their tastes in hentai such as lolicon.
He has an intense hatred of anime,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jIpPrPMCio&ab_channel=Bricky considering Eromanga sensei "the worst piece of media" he had ever seen,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvko3--280s&ab_channel=Bricky an anime he was told to review after a Twitter poll. However, this has not stopped him from reviewing and reacting to anime, such as Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Parts 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hyfbrxNBRM&ab_channel=Bricky and 4-5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJvFNnQMXLU&ab_channel=Bricky (he hated Dio and Jotaro, but his favorite character was Van Stroheim). 
His reaction to the first part was mass disliked, but ultimately had more likes (it currently sits at 27K Likes VS 10K Dislikes). However Bricky greatly enjoyed parts 4-5, and the video itself was received better as well. He has also reviewed Highschool DxD, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Perfect Blue, Paprika and Cowboy Bebop.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITbCaW2rZok&t=4s&ab_channel=Bricky
Bricky is good friends with fellow YouTuber MagikarpUsedFly, who appears in several of his videos, and is considered part of Bricky's "squad".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG7_MCP_KpI&ab_channel=Bricky One of his other friends was an exchange student from Denmark who attended his school and lived with him, and he named a Grand Theft Auto character "Danish Slave".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJKp6356EMs&ab_channel=Bricky 
He prefers playing with friends rather than involving himself in toxicity and drama, as shown in his videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxXP58tJMU0&ab_channel=Bricky "A guide on how I deal with Toxic Players". In 2016 he began opening up mail from his viewers,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3D2mSxZ2IY&ab_channel=Bricky including gifts and fan art.

He has since leaned into his fandom of the tabletop game.
