(ZombfectedGaming 349’s Intro) “Zombie Roar Sound Effect” What’s Up YouTube Revolution ZombfectedGaming 349 At Your Fingertips.
Michael (born: ), better known online as ZombfectedGaming 349, is a Canadian YouTuber who produces variety Genre Gaming videos covering mainly Open World Games in Genres such as Open World Post-Apocalyptic-Zombies Genre & Open World Crime Games and even First Person/Third Person Military Tactical Shooters either Modern or Historical or Near Future Dystopian.
==Early Life/Gaming Origins/Childhood (Birth At 1997-Early 2000’s- Late Early 2000’s)==
Michael was born in Southern Ontario, Canada, in a half European/Asian Family and picked up a video game controller at the age of 2 and instantly loved video games because his older Brother named Matthew had many gaming consoles. Michael played on PlayStation 1 with games such as Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. Michael's Brother Matthew also had a Sega Genesis with games such as Sonic and Michael played them. Michael's Brother Matthew even had a Nintendo GameCube which actually introduced Michael into more of the Rated T-M Games such as Medal of Honor Frontline and Resident Evil 1 Remake (2002). When Michael saw his older brother play Resident Evil 1 (2002) it made Michael instantly very interested in the Zombie Genre since his first ever zombie he encountered in a game was the one zombie in the hallway in the Spencer Mansion just next to the dining room. Michael also watched his brother play Medal of Honor Frontline with the introduction of Michael's interest in World War 2 History at a very young age and learning about D-Day on June 6th 1944. After all of this Michael lost interest in kid games and kid cartoons which were all meant for his age. Michael was certain that he was very interested in gritty themed video games and movies and also Historical World War 2 movies and even documentaries. Michael even had a babysitter that found Michael very weird at his age not being like any of the other kids that babysitter babysat which were more like plenty of other average kids who watch kid cartoons. Michael was like a black sheep when he hung out with these kids since his interest was watching gritty documentaries about World War 2 and it apparently creeped out Michael's babysitter and she reported Michael's personality to his strict Dad.
===Michael's Dysfunctional Family History During Childhood Early 2000’s===
Michael's Mom & Dad didn't get along well when Michael was very young and Michael was a Mommy's boy rather then a Daddy's boy and it made Michael very sad when his Mom and Dad split up and Michael's Mom had a new husband (Michael's Former Step Dad) and they lived together. Michael's brother and sister also eventually lived with their Mom and Former Step Dad and it made Michael feel lonely when he was the only child who lived with the Biological Dad which was very strict and very against video games. Michael's Dad was extremely against video games saying they will rot your brain and wanted Michael in sports like Kung Fu rather then gaming all day. Michael's Dad actually banned Michael from playing video games and the only time he was allowed to play video games was when he went to his Mom & Former Step Dad's place every weekend since that's where all the video games were at. Michael's Former Step Dad was a gamer the complete polar opposite of what his Biological Dad was like. Michael's Former Step Dad played a lot of Military Video Games such as the old Call of Duty Games that were set in World War 2 and even the Early Call of Duty Modern Warfare Games. Michael's Former Step Dad also enjoyed the Socom Games as well which also further interested Michael in Military equipment and Military Knowledge. Michael was so interested in that kind of stuff that he would go around asking a lot of people about World War 2 History and Knowledge about Gun Safety then his Biological Dad found out all about how Michael would talk about this stuff and it made his Biological Dad very furious about Michael's knowledge about this stuff at a young age and finding out what Michael does at his Mom & Former Step Dad's place. Michael's Dad eventually wanted him to stop going over there because of the excessive amount of gaming he has been doing and too much talk about historical events from the 20th century since it maybe believed Michael's Biological Father may have PTSD since he was born in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) during the Vietnam War. Michael's Dad even hated how he played GTA at a very young age since he got to play GTA 3 on his sister Rebecca's PC and Michael even got to play GTA Vice City & GTA San Andreas on his Former Step Dad's PS2. Michael said it was very unfair of how he was getting banned from gaming by his Biological Dad because since Michael was born with disabilities such as ADHD and needed gaming to keep him occupied from being way too hyper when not gaming. Plenty of stuff related to Michael's gaming life put huge complications on Michael's family because Michael's Biological Dad was putting ultimatums on Michael's Mom & Former Step Dad & Brother & Sister to get Michael to stop Gaming so much. That all didn't work out so well so Michael eventually moved out of his Biological Dad's place and moved into his Mom & Former Step Dad's place at age 13.
==Early Teenagehood To Late Teenagehood/Early Adult Life (Early 2010’s-Late 2010’s)==
When Michael was finally living at his Mom & Former Step Dad's place at age 13 Michael was able to game as much as he wanted to as long as he would go to bed on time by 10:30 PM. Michael was also so happy about how much he could game that he decided to start a YouTube Channel by the name of Gaspump 349 in 2010. Michael was very dedicated to his channel so much that he wanted to do as much edits as possible but it was interfering in his Former Step Dad's time for him to play video games that his Former Step Dad would eventually start banning Michael from playing video games too much and interfered with Michael's schedule in making YouTube videos which made it very hard and difficult for him to grow on YouTube. (More on That in the YouTube Lifetime Career Section) Michael felt very down by this and starting reminding him of how he used to live with his Biological Dad and when his Former Step Dad found out Michael said that his Former Step Dad wasn't happy to be compared to Michael’s Biological Dad and it resulted in Michael only being limited to a couple hours of gaming a night. Michael didn't feel like this was fun for him so he met a ton of friends in High School and would hangout with them and would go over to their places to game and even have sleep overs on weekends. Michael felt very bored of not being able to game enough and not having enough time to make videos and put effort into them that he decided to hook up with some girls in high school that were very toxic and didn't like gaming anyways so Michael decided his gaming/YouTube career didn't matter much anymore because of the limitations of not being able to game. This is where Michael decided to hangout with a group of jocks and join a high school school soccer sports team and it was all about Michael gaining loyalty with his new group of friends and treating each other like family. Michael had been spending way more time with these friends since he had felt like they were more like family than his actual family.
===Michael's Terrible Break Ups With Toxic Ex Girlriends===
When Michael found out his Ex Girlfriends were cheating on him it made him very depressed and made him quit the sports teams in high school and it made him wanna skip school and Michael's Mom & Former Step Dad were not happy with him skipping school but the solution was to allow Michael to return to playing more video games again since Michael's Former Step Dad decided to stop gaming so much and allowed Michael to have more time gaming again and so Michael returned to making YouTube videos again and decided to change his YouTube Channel name from Gaspump 349 to TheSkorpionSyndicate since he loved the Skorpion EVO Gun from Black Ops 2 so it's what inspired him. Plus the reason Michael changed from Gaspump 349 to TheSkorpionSyndicate is because his sister Rebecca would make fun of the name Gaspump 349 saying it sounded like a dirty joke. But when Michael rebooted his channel with TheSkorpionSyndicate it gave him a new fresh beginning and helped him forget about those toxic ex girlfriends who broke his heart and helped Michael have something to live for.
===Michael's Final Year of High School (2014-2015)===
Michael was apparently banned again from gaming so much in Early to Mid 2014 so he fell back into not gaming through most of the summer because he had a new girlfriend that year and most of the time he was camping the entire summer with her and her family because back home his Mom & Former Step Father were having a very rocky marriage and he didn't wanna be around to hear the drama. Michael was literally like a country boy at this time during summer of 2014 and he didn't wanna return home when his Mom & Former Step Dad wanted him back home. So apparently what happened was Michael was forced home and Michael's Ex Girlfriend that year wasn't happy about it so she broke up with Michael and it made Michael feel very down again and the solution was to of course encourage Michael into gaming again. So Michael started gaming way more again and decided he wanted to play more zombie games on his channel and do one more channel rename which is the current name and ZombfectedGaming 349 was born. Michael wanted this name because he said TheSkorpionSyndicate felt unoriginal to him and too similar to another YouTuber by the name of TheSyndicateProject and they are words that exist in the English dictionary and Michael admitted he has OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and wanted something super original by his own creation so he blended the two words Zombie and Infected into one word called Zomb-Fected since many zombie media have been calling zombies the Infected like in The Last of Us & Dying Light & many more Etc. But another reason Michael came up with this too is because in 2014 zombie media had been dominating really hard with AMC's The Walking Dead being at its peak with millions upon millions of viewers watching every Sundays during October 2014 with The Walking Dead Season 5 which was exactly the time ZombfectedGaming 349's name was born. Dying Light 1 was also about to release in the start of 2015 so it worked out very well for Michael. Michael was extremely excited for the launch of Dying Light 1. Eventually when Dying Light 1 released on January 27th 2015 Michael had a little bit of a boost of viewers from his Dying Light content and he had faith that his channel would blow up in viewers because of Dying Light. Michael Graduated High School in June 2015 as well.
===Mid 2015 Techland Announced Future Dying LIght 1 Plans===
Michael Uploaded a video called Cars are coming to Dying LIght and those would end up being Dune Buggies in Dying Light 1's Expansion known as Dying Light The Following. But this video got Michael over 20k views on his channel and it made him feel certain that he would get popular later on down the line.
===Michael's Mom & Former Step Dad Wanted Michael to take Victory Lap in High School Essentially Grade 13 (2015-2016)===
Reasons for them wanting Michael back in school again is because they didn't want Michael to constantly keep relying on trying to get bigger on YouTube because Michael was growing at a very slow rate because Michael couldn't commit to a set schedule because when you live under a parents roof you gotta follow rules and editing videos takes up a lot of time so Michael couldn't find the time to edit all the time because parents were getting in the way of his channel's career and they were not understanding that.
===(2016) Michael's Mom & Former Step Dad File For Divorce===
Michael's Family seems to have been going through a lot. Its unknown reasons but theories are that it could be because Michael's constant back and fourth with Gaming/YouTube and hanging out with his new friends that he considered family and finding girlfriends was potentially putting a strain on his Mom & Former Step Dad's Marriage but I'm sure it's much more then all of that. It's unknown and could be personal and Michael didn't explain why.
===Michael's Late Teens/Early Adult Hood (2016-2017)===
Michael and his family had really fallen apart at this point and it wasn't good on his YouTube channel so he had to find work like a part time job while working in retail so he could pay rent while still living under his Mom's roof. Michael's Sister had move back home as well with her 2 children which are Michael's Niece & Nephew and they were just toddlers at the time and they were too loud in the background so Michael had trouble making YouTube videos. So Michael just decided that everything at home was too much so he moved into his friends place in July 2017 for a month. By August 2017 Michael's Former Step Father had sold the house the family used to live at and Michael & his Mom & Sister had no choice but to move out. Michael's sister and her kids had moved in with her boyfriend aka her kids dad and is now Michael's sisters husband in current day. Michael and his Mom moved into a small 2 bedroom apartment from August 2017-October 2018. But lets explain what happened in the year gap between 2017-2018
===Early Adult Hood (2017-2018)===
When Michael and his Mom were living at this 2 bedroom apartment Michael had found another girlfriend who was just a year younger then him since Michael didn't think he had in him to make YouTube videos anymore because the amount of stress was annoying him and he didn't have it in him to have the YouTube algorithm give him bad luck and get barely any viewers so his new goal was to hang out with this girl since she was a long time friend of his friends group which friend zoned Michael for years but she opened up to Michael when she came of age at age 19 when being able to go to a bar and she hooked up with Michael at a bar since Michael's friends in that friend group were daring them to hook up when they were under the influence. Going to bars became a huge routine almost every weekends and Michael got tired of it since he didn't like drinking much so the girl dumped Michael.
===Early Adult Hood (2018-2019)===
With all the stress of previous years Michael had gone through Michael believed 2018 might be the best year of his life since one of his favorite games of all time would release that year in late 2018 which was Red Dead Redemption 2. Michael did a little bit of content creating in early 2018 but not a lot but mid 2018 was one of the best times of his life since he met his current lover he has today in present day her name is Kayla aka Vansimo917. She was never a gamer in her early life but she eventually respected Michael's gaming life and slowly became a gamer over time. Eventually Kayla was kicked out of her home because the people she lived with was forcing her to break up with Michael and she said no. The people she lived with didn't like Michael for unknown reasons which is why she had to move out and into Michael and his Mom's Apartment. By October 2018 when Red Dead Redemption 2 had released Michael & his Mom & Kayla was in the middle of having to move out of the Apartment him and his Mom were living at for over a year and Michael was doing content creating on Red Dead Redemption 2 simultaneously at the same time as trying to pack up and move out since Michael knew there would be competition with other content creators when that game was new and was the internet media sensation of that year since it was the next Rockstar Game following after 2013's GTA 5 which released 5 years prior. But when Michael & his Mom & Kayla were moving out of that apartment they moved into Michael's Mom's new boyfriends house for a few months till the end of 2018 going into 2019. Michael & Kayla had finally moved into their own apartment of their own which marked A New Beginning in Michael's life.
==(2019-2020's) Current Decade Adult Hood==
Michael & Kayla finally moved into their own apartment and it isn't the best place they are living in since it's low end kinda but it's at least a roof over their head and have been living there for 5 years as of 2024. Michael has continued to do his YouTube Career with more ease while living in his own home with Kayla since he doesn't have to worry about interruptions from family members like in the past. Michael has also picked up viewership in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic because everyone was staying home watching YouTube a lot more and it paved the way to where Michael's channel is today with a better decent following of viewers who tune into his channel. Michael had been making a living off of YouTube from getting paid but it's not entirely enough since Michael gets disability cheques to support him and Kayla's living situation. But with Michael and his YouTube channel doing a lot better Michael wanted to keep up his grind so he can continue to grow and make more money but his friend group in high school didn't take so kindly to it. His former friend group says Michael is lazy and all he does is play video games and doing YouTube gaming is not a real job and says he should work a real job. Michael's former friends didn't take so kindly to him doing YouTube all the time is because they said Michael was forcing his former friends to watch his channel but meanwhile that wasn't true. Michael was just asking politely to help support his channel by checking out his content and drop likes on the videos to help with the algorithm so it can boost viewership for his channel so his content would get suggested to more people. Michael said if it were the other way around and his former friends in that friend group were doing YouTube content Michael said he would return the favor by helping them out by dropping likes even if their content wasn't his cup of tea. Michael wanted to be a selfless guy and help others. But today Michael actually helps out other friends on his YouTube which he met online. Out with the old friend group he had from High School and in with the new people he met online while gaming. Michael met a lot of really good friends while playing the Dying Light games and Red Dead Online and even Watch Dogs Legion Online. Michael is really good friends with a Red Dead Online Streamer known as TheMobinator and he met a funny guy on Watch Dogs Legion Online who is a Just Cause fan who goes by the name of Rico Rodriguez (Plays Funny Soundboard like Stuff in Zomb's Streams). Rico Rodriguez is the same name as the main protagonist from the Just Cause Games. Michael also made good friends with a well known YouTuber in the GTA & Red Dead Community known as TheProfessional. TheProfessional aka Patrick is a very good friend to Michael and has inspired him to keep going at his channel and to never give up. TheProfessional has also shouted out Michael plenty of times on his channel and really helped Michael's channel a lot. Michael actually says TheProfessional is like a mentor for him.
==YouTube Lifetime Career==
===Gaspump 349 History (2010-2013) (Old Name)===
Michael Started his channel November 12th 2010 as Gaspump 349. He started his channel because he was hyped to create his channel after the release of Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and made videos on the game but these videos were not on a capture card and Michael had a high pitch voice at the age of 13 so he deleted every single one of the Gaspump 349 videos he had erasing the existance of Gaspump 349. Michael used Gaspump for his name because Michael liked blowing up Gas Stations in GTA Games and even did it in Just Cause 2 as well. Michael has an obsession with explosions and it's maybe why he was named Michael like the movie director Michael Bay. Michael's sister Rebecca would tease Michael for his YouTube name Gaspump 349 for being a dirty joke as explained previously in the sections about Michael's Personal life. It's why he changed it to TheSkorpionSyndicate.
===TheSkorpionSyndicate History (2013-2014) (Old Name)===
Michael wanted his name TheSkorpionSyndicate since he liked the Skorpion EVO Gun in Black Ops 2 as explained previously in Michael's Personal Life sections. Michael changed his name to ZombfectedGaming 349 since he kept thinking of the YouTuber TheSyndicateProject and found that it was unoriginal in his opinion.
===ZombfectedGaming 349 History (2014-Present)===
As explained before in Michael's Personal life sections he went with this name because of how in Zombie media some zombies are called the infected and so he came up with Zomb-Fected. Michael hates it when people mispronounce is name and call him zombie or zombie infected gaming and his inner OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) will make him correct anybody. But to avoid drama he sometimes won't acknowledge them saying zombie and won't reply back to them (SOME PEOPLE GET ANGRY AT MICHAEL WHEN HE CORRECTS THEM FOR MISPRONOUNCING ZOMBFECTED) and will wait for someone else to correct them or even wait for them to clue in and correct themselves. Michael loves zombie media whether it’s TV Shows or Video Games or Movies it's what really inspired him with this name.
==Video Game Franchises ZombfectedGaming 349 is well known for (Variety Gaming Genres)==
Michael used to play mostly Call of Duty when he started in 2010 as Gaspump 349 and he would even play GTA 4 and Just Cause 2 by blowing up Gas Stations in both of these games. In 2011 Michael also got into Saints Row 2 for the first time ever and even introducing Michael to the Saints Row Franchise as a whole and would he would even drive cars into the gas stations in Saints Row 2 and when they blew up it sent the car flying multiple feet really high into the air and Michael would record that as well which went well with the theme of his YouTube channel name at the time Gaspump 349.
===Watch Dogs Franchise & Grand Theft Auto Franchise & Saints Row Franchise (Open World Crime Genre)===
Michael grew up playing GTA 3 at a young age so he grew a passion for games similar to GTA which are known as GTA Competitors and he has gotten a fair amount of views on GTA 5 content and Saints Row Content and a ton of views on the Watch Dogs Games content.
