Chad Warden

Chad Warden is a former YouTuber who trolled the Internet with his videos focusing on the gaming console wars of 2007. He later became a meme and major character within SiIvaGunner.

## History

On March 3rd, 2007, Anthony Pinto created the YouTube channel chadwardenn, and uploaded his first video "Why PS3 is better than the Wii and 360". The video consists of Anthony playing the character Chad Warden, who discusses the current console wars between the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360, and defends why he believes the PS3 (or PS Triple, as he calls it) is the best console. Although his reasons for thinking this are more ridiculous then reasonable, and he makes very odd points as well, such as comparing the Wii's controller to a dildo, and saying false things about games on other consoles.

Chad's first video was not received, as many people thought he was completely and didn't realize he was trolling. This responded in many response videos, which was followed by Chad uploaded two more videos "Chad n\*gga be ballin'", which was a direct response to a specific video made by someone named ThatFunkyHippo, and "Why the PS3 is better than the Wii/360 PART 2 N\*GGAZ". The second video proved many proposed claims made by ThatFunkyHippo to be false, such as Chad not being able to afford a PS3. The third video contains Chad's open opinions on why he prefers the PS3. He also established the term ABAP, which stands for As Ballin' As Possible, which he used to describe the PlayStation 3 and it's games.

"Why the PS3 is better than the Wii/360 PART 2 N\*GGAZ" would be the last video Chad would upload, with channel going inactive after its posting. This is likely due to one of Anthony Pinto's real life friends leaking a video of him out of character, where he's seen at a restaurant eating sushi with some friends. The video was likely uploaded without consent from Pinto.

Even though his videos had a more negative response then positive, Chad quickly became a meme, such as within YouTube Poops (mostly involving sentence-mixing him) and YTMNDs. Many also realized the videos were simply trolling, and actually funny.

On May 2, 2008, Chad's channel was deleted, but its unknown why.

On February 21, 2013, a new picture of Chad was posted to 4chan, confirming Anthony Pinto to still be online. The picture shows Chad holding a small piece of paper that reads the date of the picture being taken and "Still Ballin". Chad has not made any official appearances online since then. Although, Anthony Pinto himself has been spotted in public many times since then.

## On SiIvaGunner

Chad Warden first appeared in the rip "Main Theme - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty". He would later appear as character in the rip "MEGALOVANIA (OST Version) - Undertale". The rip consists of Chad being sentence-mixed to talk to the SiIvaGunner fanbase about their dislike bombing of rips with "Snow halation" and how he disproved of it. This would later be followed up by "Megalovania (Beta Mix) - EarthBound Halloween Hack", which is very similar in nature and continues what the first video introduced.

Chad would later become the protagonist of *SiIvaGunner: Rebooted*, where he fights against The Voice Inside Your Head and sacrifices himself to save "Snow halation".

A channel event in 2017 celebrating the first year anniversary of The Reboot shows an alternate timeline in which Chad doesn't save anything, instead killing The Voice (and later SiIvaGunner) and taking over the channel for himself.
