==Overview==
The majority of Ethan's uploads consist of TF2 gameplay footage amassed into a series he calls Meatloaf (formely Monthly Meatloaf), as per the ongoing series on his channel. He occasionally makes other clip montages or tutorials on various weapons and playstyles within the game, the most detailed of which was his "How to Trolldier" series, which detailed how how play a certain playstyle of the Soldier class involving rocket jumping and instantly killing opponents with a shovel. He uploads sporadically, as he seems to put a great deal of effort into these non-montage videos. He also sometime does videos on other subjects, such as other games like Garry's Mod, Hitman™, Borderlands and Sea of Thieves and tutorials on sound design.
==The Stereotypes series==
Originally beginning with "Hat Stereotypes," The Stereotypes series is a 29-part series originating at some point in 2016 detailing any and every possible stereotype associated with the wearer of a certain cosmetic within the game. This is by far Ethan's most successful series, having been picked up by the YouTube algorithm and amassing him tens of millions of views. However, Ethan has also described how the demand for more of the series has taken a toll on him, and has made several self-deprecating jabs that he has stretched the series out for far too long, spanning hats, weapons, and currently in miscellaneous cosmetic stereotypes. He has described how people have suggested taunt stereotypes, paint stereotypes and more, making him feel overwhelmed. An episode, entitled "Misc Stereotypes Episode 9: The Sniper," Revealed that for the past eight episodes Ethan had been controlled by a cabal of several cute animal cosmetics in the game, giving his viewers an ARG that led to a privated Discord server where the animal cosmetics had gathered. As of this writing, there has been a seven-month hiatus on the next episode in the series, which will detail stereotypes surrounding the Spy class. As of the new writing said video is released where it was shown that Ethan was rescued from the Cute Cosmetics HQ By the Cool Cosmetics agent War Pig.
== A Mann's Guide Series ==
A Mann's guide is another series done by Ethan in collaboration with many of his friends and fellow youtubers such as his friend KJ in the style of a TV Program where they discuss the ways one can use different weapons in Team Fortress 2, usually with an overarching story going along in the episode.
