Gopher

Gopher is an English video game modding guru and let's player on YouTube.
==About==
Gopher specializes in lets plays, modding tutorials, and mod showcases; particularly for Bethesda Game Studios franchises such as Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. His lets plays are notable for being very roleplay-driven; he will often remain entirely in-character while playing, with his commentary being his character's thoughts or spoken words to NPCs.
He occasionally does other types of videos outside of the main line-up, including reviews and unboxings. His secondary channel - GopherLive - is where he uploads all of his Twitch gaming livestreams.
==History==
Gopher joined YouTube on March 3, 2010. He uploaded his first video on May 3 the same year, which was a showcase of his Advanced Recon Gear mod for Fallout 3. Soon after, he began to make modding tutorials for Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas; videos that became very popular.
The first let's play that Gopher did was of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. He started the series as a way of testing mods, but would later continue it out of enjoyment as the series grew in-depth and popularity. Let's plays have since become a core staple of his channel.
In 2013 Gopher retired from his real-world job as a software developer, and became a full-time YouTuber.
==Personal Life==
Little is known about the man behind Gopher as he likes to keep his personal life separate from YouTube. He has revealed that he was born in Manchester, and worked as a mathematics teacher in his early adulthood. At some point, he became a software developer and moved to Norway, where he lives currently with his partner and children. Viewers who are unfamiliar with the Manchester accent are often unaware that he is English; something which has become an in-joke among his fanbase. He is in his late forties as of 2019.
