Nomad Colossus

Michael,https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowoftheColossus/comments/ftrm4z/anybody_know_how_to_get_ahold_of_nomad_colossus/ better known online as Nomad Colossus or Nomad is an Australian YouTuber, gamer, artist, and graphic designer best known for his videos on the PlayStation video game, Shadow of the Colossus. He mostly makes videos showcasing hacks, undiscovered areas, and showing beta elements from the game. He has become popular in the Shadow of the Colossus community for his discoveries.
==History==
Nomad Colossus first played Shadow of the Colossus as a kid when his older brother gave him the game to play as he wasn't interested. Years later, he discovered YouTube in 2008 where he watched videos of people getting to the secret garden of the Shrine of Worship. Nomad bought his own copy and managed to get there after a few attempts. He later discovered a PlayStation forum called the Quest for the Last Big Secret which was dedicated to finding more secrets in the game. Nomad became interested in discovering hidden secrets and unused elements in Shadow of the Colossus.
He became fans of other hackers of the game such as Pikol, WWWArea, Dark0ssX, and Radical Dreamer. He found videos of theirs where they launched themselves onto ledges using Agro where they couldn't get to before. He eventually bought a PCSX2 emulator to run the game quickly and would discover unexplored and undocumented areas such as Agrus's temple. Nomad would then get into hacking by asking members of the community to learn to hack the game.http://nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.com/2011/04/welcome-to-nomads-shadow-of-colossus.html He would post these discoveries onto YouTube and his blog which would become instantly popular.

Nomad's videos consist of showing areas that weren't meant to be traversed and exploring outside the Forbidden Lands. He also mods the game to play or change the functions of the game, colossi, and other characters. Nomad is well known for showing the differences between the international releases and beta versions of the game. One example is showing eight unused colossi and theorizing what they could do and where their domains where located.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Do_0aWpYeo 
He rarely does videos on other Team Ico games, such as The Last Guardian and Ico. He'll usually post these discoveries onto his YouTube channel and blog. When he does cover Shadow of the Colossus, he mostly does the original PlayStation 2 version, but will sometimes talk about the PS4 remake.
