Couch Force (Channel)

Alex

**Couch Force** was originally created by Tyler Bruce and Conor Powers Stout in early 2017. It was a Let's Play channel called **Couch Gamers** originally hosted by Tyler and Conor on YouTube until co-host Cole Jackson and Nathan Martin joined the force, thereby changing the official name to **Couch Force**. The channel expanded to include a variety of shows, such as Behind the Seams, Best Ofs, and One-Offs. With also random guest appearances from internet personalities such as Brody Hamilton, Austin Lindsey, Conner Pinson, and more.

## History

### Origin

In early 2017, Tyler Bruce and his pal Conor Powers Stout wanted to collaborate and make a co-op gaming channel called Couch Gamers. A pretty simple concept in which the two would show each other games from their childhood they loved by playing through them on YouTube. To make this happen, they decided to move in together and get an apartment in Tennessee. However, apartments are not cheap. So, to lower the price, the two bros searched for a couple of loyal dudes to go in with them on a deal. After some struggle the two found the ultimate roommates.
Cole Jackson and Nathan Martin were their names and they were some rad dudes. With the plan all aligned, Tyler and Conor extended an offer to accept Cole and Nathan into Couch Gamers and a saga began. After some work arounds with the concept and idea, Couch Gamers quickly became the Couch Force we see today.

### Location of Recordings

Recording Started in April of 2017. Since all the members of Couch Force lived in college dorms with roommates except for Cole Jackson, who had a horrible apartment they dubbed the Cole Dome, the recording was done at his place. Recording lasted till the beginning of May when the group had to return back home for the summer, except Conor Powers Stout who stayed behind to get some summer classes in. They recorded just enough footage in order to last till they returned to their new recording location in August 2017, their new apartments. Currently, the only full playthrough not recorded in the Cole Dome or the new apartments is Luigi's Mansion, which was recorded in Tyler Bruce's hometown.
