==History==
The channel uploaded its first video "Weird Goon from Quakecon 2003" on October 4, 2006. Richard would later upload more random videos on the channel, before uploading his first Let's Play (or "Garbage Game" as he calls it) video on Cry of Fear on May 10, 2013.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9O8MpB4doA
He would add Internet animator and Something Awful associate Dave Kelly (better known as Shmorky) into his Let's Plays (starting with "Garbage Game: "Cry of Fear" Part 4"), becoming somewhat of a sidekick on the Gaming Garbage channel. Shmorky later left around 2014-2016 due to controversy between the two.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV5ECmLlgY
In 2021, after doing a charity stream,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyboSQ8gnng Richard died on November 9 due to suicide, putting an end to the channel.
However, on December 23, 2023, the channel unexpectedly uploaded seven videosSee the videos here: "Doom House 3: Opening footage WIP""DOOM HOUSE - DIRECTORS CUT (UNFINISHED)""DOOM HOUSE OUTTAKES (UNFINISHED)""DOOM HOUSE VS DEATH HAT (UNFINISHED)""Doom House: Kill Cabin UNFINISHED""Doom House Anime - UNFINISHED!!!""Mood House (UNFINISHED)" with no discernible reason why. Some have theorized that Richard has put these videos in a queue before his death, however, the channel itself is now maintained by an affiliate of the Gaming Garbage community.
