## Online Career

### **Online Forums**

Before YouTube, Phil had a knack for Microsoft's Halo and Neversoft's Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Seeing as he was so invested, he wanted to see if anybody on the internet back then was talking about one of his favorite games. Phil soon found a Forum, where he would post a few videos. One time he posted a Pro Skater 2 clip, where he does a super hard trick, and that clip got reposted very quickly. Phil's Pro Skater clip was reposted about as many as 2k times at it's peak. Phil also made Xbox controller tutorials, which had him turn away from the camera whenever he made changes to the controller, making his tutorials relatively poor for the time.

### **YouTube**

Phil created his YouTube channel on September 14, 2006. Since then, Phil's content has primarily focused on edited highlights from his Twitch streams. He currently has 3M subscribers. Although Phil tends to edit his own content, his wife Kristin has been in charge of editing Twitch clips for the channel PhilzaCLIPS, which was made February 26, 2021. Other channels made by Phil are: TheHaloThon and PhilzEditz. One channel, called PhilzaVODS, was terminated due to a Twitch policy to have content made on there be exclusive for a period of time before being reuploaded elsewhere.

### **Twitch**

Philza made his Twitch account back when the website was called Justin.tv, and started streaming back in 2008. Since then, Phil has made varied content, from Pro Skater to Spyro, & from Rocket League to Minecraft. Before the Season 2 death, Phil's Twitch channel had only a few concurrent viewers, some of those being Kristin and IanBealio who both are moderators of the channel, & others like AstraBluee "Amy", Kroskk "Carrol", & memphos\_ "Kiel". As of 2024, he has over 4.3M followers and over 52M total views. He mainly streams himself playing Minecraft Hardcore, but he occasionally streams Minecraft events such as Minecraft Championship or any Survival Multiplayer servers he might be on.
