Mike Matei

Michael "Mike" Matei (born: ), also known as MotherFucker Mike, is a Romanian-American YouTuber who created his channel in 2015, but didn't start uploading in 2018. He does livestreams of games, primarily old ones on the retro consoles he grew up with, on his Twitch channel, and then uploads the full length, unedited videos to his channel. He's best known as a long time best friend of James Rolfe, better known as the Angry Video Game Nerd, and contributor of Cinemassacre, until he left in December of 2020 so he could focus on his livestreaming full time. 
==Biography==
===Before Cinemassacre===
Before Cinemassacre, Mike met James Rolfe in college in 2001. Back then the two of them spent a lot of time making low budget, independent, short films together for school. The first short film they made together was called The Alternate History of Mario which was about Shigeru Miyamoto's landlord Mario Segali, played by Rolfe. Many character traits seen in the AVGN character can be seen here, such as cursing, drinking lots of beer and flipping of a television set. 
===Cinemassacre===
Mike has been involved in the productions of Cinemassacre since nearly the beginning. Matei was involved in most of the early episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. He helped with writing the scripts and recording the gameplay footage. Later he appeared on camera for the first time in 2006, with episode 12, Friday the 13th, as the mute killer Jason Voorhees. 
Matei was the primary editor for Cinemassacre's Monster Madness from 2008 to 2015. He edited all of the Spike movie reviews such as videos like Cinemassacre's Bat-A-Thon and many others. He also edited the first 150 episodes of James and Mike Mondays, his Lets Play series with Rolfe. He appeared on camera revealing his actual face in 2009, with the 3rd episode of Board James, Crossfire, as the character Mother Fucker Mike, whom he became humorously known as by fans for years to come.
In later years he would do even more for Cinemassacre, as in 2012, when James was on hiatus because he was working on his movie, he filled the void by making a variety of videos for the channel. He did an entire series entitled Mike's Game Glitches and many gaming related Top 10 videos such as Top 10 NES Gems. 
===Leaving Cinemassacre===
In July 2020, James and Mike put James & Mike Mondays on hiatus, due mainly to Covid preventing them from meeting up in person; however, on December 18, 2020, James made an update video where he announced that not only was James & Mike Mondays not returning, but that Mike was leaving Cinemassacre, after all these years, so he could focus on his own livestreaming full time. 
==His Own Channel==
On his channel, he uploads gaming livestreams, which he conducts over on his Twitch channel, which can often times be very long, sometimes 5-10 hours, or even longer, where he plays games, typically older games on retro consoles that he grew up with, like the NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari 2600, and even some later ones like N64, PS1, and Sega Saturn.
