Michael Gaming

Michael Gaming (stylised in all lowercase) is a member of the Gaming Council and a YouTuber. He is most well known for his videos [ASMR] Nelson the Bull Terrier Stares At You... (a video that has since been taken down), KIRBY DIES!!!, and Absolute Slapper. His channel often has extended hiatuses between videos, with the longest one spanning 8 months.

## History

The Michael Gaming channel was created on the 5th of November, 2019. This was also the date in which he first uploaded, with his debut video "KIRBY DIES!!!". On December 7th, Michael uploaded what became since most successful video, "[ASMR] Nelson the Bull Terrier Stares at You While You Listen to Dry Guys from Mother 3". This video was taken down in July of 2021.

From December 24th, 2019, to March 24th, 2020, Michael took a hiatus due to lack of motivation, uploading "poggy chair: the crystal shards" upon his return. This was followed up on April 10th by "absolute slapper", one of Michael's most notable works, causing a notable amount of spin-offs by many channels in the Gaming Council. On the 27th of the same month, Michael uploaded "super mario super rapping", which he has stated in the past as being his favourite work - although this is likely out of date. Michael remained a consistent upload schedule until May 13th, where he would upload "hamubrger" and take a 2 month break.

On the 6th of November, 2020, Michael celebrated his 1 year anniversary (despite being 1 day late) by uploading "beans.mp4" and later in the month "Part 2 of the Michael Gaming Anniversary".

On July 4th, 2021, Michael unlisted 13 of his 22 public videos. The reason cited was that he simply no longer found them to be funny and was embarrassed by their public existence. 2 of the videos, 'keemstar cave' and 'strange pictures of bananas', were re-uploaded with the music changed. 'keemstar cave' was also renamed to 'pov: a lovely young gentlemen has a nice conversation with you'.

The first original michael gaming video since November 12th's 'Part 2 of the Michael Gaming Anniversary' was uploaded on the 16th of July. The video is named 'normal pictures of bananas' and is a sequel to the previous video 'strange pictures of bananas'.

## Appearances

#### The Gaming Council (Harold Gaming)

Michael Gaming is the main antagonist in Harold Gaming's series. He is the leader of a socialist gang and has many under his employment, such as Walter, Jimothy and Charles. He is a very ambiguous figure, who always appears wearing a black hood. He is very skilled in hacking and sorcery.

##### Season 1

Michael does not appear until late into the season. He first encounters the heroes at a port town in Spain, where he subsequently launches an attack on them. Despite his late appearance, he is mentioned a lot and is the driving factor for all that occurs in the series. Along with Walter and Fatality, he is responsible for the Tragedy of Quebec, the destruction of Greg's hometown in order to purge the blood of the Pickle Prince, which they ultimately failed to do. Years later, Michael sends Walter for another assassination attempt against Greg, who once again fails when he is caught off guard by the arrival of Harold and his crew. During the season finale, Michael reveals his true motive. He wishes to collect the blood of all members of The Gaming Council and offer it upon the Altar of Disrespect to summon Ganon DisrespectMaster34, however he is defeated by The Fella who converts unwillingly him to liberalism.

#### The Gaming Council (Jonathan Gaming)

Michael Gaming is a failed comedian, relying on Big Chungus as a joke and frequently gets booed off the stage. In the first episode, it is stated he has told the joke 24 times in one pub. His roommates Walter and Harold both agree that his jokes are unfunny, although his last roommate Morris appears neutral to his comedy. He reluctantly allows Greg, James, Larry and Jonathan to stay at their house, because, as he puts it, "it's fucking freezing outside", and there is a sign outside reading "LOKIN 4 ROMAYTES" from years ago they forgot to take down.

#### Greg Gaming Adventures

In Greg Gaming Adventures, Michael is depicted as Will Wood and the Tapeworms' 2016 album, "SELF-iSH". He is first mentioned at the end of episode 2, where Greg says how although he does not like him they need his help to save Morris. In a flashback scene at the start of episode 3, it is revealed they do not like each other because Greg likes Metallica more than Will Wood. Later in the episode, it is also revealed he is the brother of Morris.
