Crashpunk

Chris (born: ), better known online as Crashpunk or Crashpunk25 (formerly known as Wariopunk25) is a English former gaming YouTuber. He was best known for covering the Oddworld and Crash Bandicoot series, as well as his video game Let's Plays.
==History==
He began on YouTube in 2008 when he created several Oddworld parody videos, the most popular being 'CRAZY Oddworld'. A series that mixed the gameplay and cutscenes into jokes from many different movies, shows and popular culture. It was directly inspired by Nosidda89's 'Kingdom Hearts Crazy Files' and 'Jak & Daxter Crazy Files'. It had 6 episodes and ran from 2008 to 2010. A remake of his original series was released on August 4, 2018 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the channel. 
Crashpunk started uploading Let's Play content in late 2010, beginning with Half-Life 2. He did many playthroughs throughout the years, but was primarily known for playing Oddworld, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Rayman, and the Ratchet and Clank series. He credited ScottishDuck17 as his main influence for starting Let's Playing. Crashpunk also had the 'Crashpunk/Wariopunk Plays' series for covering games not intended for full playthroughs. The series was mostly focused on obscure PS2 games. 
In 2016, Crashpunk began streaming Overwatch on Twitch, eventually moving onto streaming his more traditional playthroughs. He became a Twitch Affiliate in 2018.
==Retirement==
In January 2019, Crashpunk's YouTube channel went on hiatus due to personal problems and lack of interest.
In March 2019, Crashpunk announced his retirement from streaming and YouTube on his Facebook page: "I'm completely burnt out with content creation/streaming. I don't enjoy it anymore."https://imgur.com/a/ixODMH1
In April 2021, Crashpunk returned briefly to do a one-off playthrough of Oddworld: Soulstorm, but due to his personal dislike of the game, the series was quickly cancelled.
