Harold Gaming Official is a member of the Gaming Council and a popular Youtuber. His account was made on the 4th May 2020 and has uploaded consistently since then. He is famous for his ongoing web series, "The Gaming Council" and his hilarious variety content.

## History

Harold's channel was made on the 4th May and his first video, 'Dad Reveal (0 Sub Special)' released on the same day. Up until the release of the video, "charles gaming isn't funny (proof)" Harold's career consisted entirely of reuploading videos he did not make, with a few exceptions. On the 28th of July 2020, Harold switched full time to making his own videos, which was a risky move for the channel but it eventually began to pay off. Since the Harold Reformation he has produced such classic videos as, "Top 10 Meme Faces," and, "Mario Goes To Dollar General."

## Appearances

Harold's various appearances across media in no particular order.

#### **The Gaming Council (Harold Gaming)**

Harold Gaming is the main character in Harold's video series, "The Gaming Council." He first appears in Episode 1 of the series and is depicted as an old man and bears a remarkable resemblance to Jeffery Epstein. Throughout the series he barely does anything and acts like a side character despite being the main character.

##### **Season 1**

In Season 1, we first meet Harold at The Gaming House, where Morris Gaming saves him from being turned into a pickle by James Gaming. In episode 2, the group venture to Canada and meet Greg Gaming, who Harold begins to look up to as his master. Following the betrayal of Charles in episode 7, Harold becomes mentally unstable and begins to act irrationally. However, in episode 10 when Harold meets Charles again, he learns Charles' true motive and gets himself back together. Later in the season, at the port town in Spain, Harold and Morris have a battle with Michael, which emotionally ruins both of them. After a devastating loss to the hands of Michael, Harold feels like giving up on his quest, it is only after The Fella resurrects their lost friend and lifts his spirits that he regains the guts to press on.

#### **The Gaming Council (Jonathan Gaming)**

Harold Gaming is a roommate of Michael, Morris and Walter and is often referred to as the local virgin. He often belittles Michael for his comedy routine, describing it as, "sucking balls." Harold and Michael have a very dysfunctional relationship, which brings to question why they even live with each other in the first place. Upon first meeting, Greg says that Harold looks very British, which he reluctantly takes as a compliment.

#### **The Gaming Council: Fates**

In The Gaming Council: Fates, Harold is the main protagonist. He was born a royal noble in the country of Hoshido but was kidnapped at a young age by King Michael and raised as a prince of Nohr. In the video, the viewer gets to choose Harold's decisions, including which nation he will side with in the war. He is overall kind, but his personality changes depending on decisions by the viewer, for example, if the viewer chooses to kill a character he will become more bloodthirsty and unforgiving.

#### **Greg Gaming Adventures**

    In Greg Gaming Adventures, a video series created by Greg Gaming Official, Harold is depicted as Sean Bonnette, the lead singer of popular folk punk band AJJ, formerly known as Andrew Jackson Jihad. It is up for debate whether Harold actually is Sean Bonnette or just bears a strong resemblance to him. He is first introduced in Episode 2 of the series, when he is called for backup to break into The Walter House and save Morris by Thomas Gaming. He has a bitter rivalry with Jonathan Gaming, typically over who gets to spend time with Cirno Gaming, the one woman in their company.

## Side Channels

### Haroldxplain

Haroldxplain is a side channel created by Harold Gaming. It is used for posting trailers and news updates. The channel was created on the 23rd December 2020 to coincide with the Harold Gaming Direct on the same day. The name of the channel is a parody of popular game reviews and news channel, 'Gamexplain'

### Shoe News Network

Shoe News Network, or SNN for short, is a parody fake news channel by Harold Gaming. Unlike Haroldxplain, it has no direct connection to Harold Gaming and is very much its own side project. The channel is fairly inactive but tends to bolster a considerate amount of views due to its absurd and relevant fake news videos.

## Top Tens

The following is a list of all Top Ten videos made by Harold Gaming and trivia about each.

### ten reason why i love sandshrew pokemon

'ten reason why i love sandshrew pokemon' was released on the 10th August 2020 and counts down the ten reasons why Harold loves the pokemon Sandshrew. The video was made to coincide with the twitter account, 'SandshrewFan37' which was originally made as a parody account of those who form their online identity around being a fan of a specific character followed by an arbitrary number. The twitter account would later find small notoriety in the Alpharad Deluxe community (formerly known as the Plussy community) but would soon become inactive when Harold forgets the password to the account.

### top 10 meme faces

'top 10 meme faces' was released on the 12th September 2020 and is Harold's second favourite video he's ever made (only losing to, 'GREATEST IMPOSTER SOLO WIN EVER!- AMONG US WITH FRIENDS!). The video counts down Harold's favourite meme faces, however we still do not know what number 1 is as the viewers are trolled by the lack of honourable mentions and the video abruptly ends. This video was initially supposed to be the long teased, 'ten reasons why I love sinks' but was changed last minute as Harold was struggling to come up with reasons why he loves sinks.

### top 7 monkey moments

Some may argue that this is not a Top 10 video for it only lists 7 monkey moments, however this video is included in the famous, 'Top 10!' playlist on the Harold Gaming Official channel so that point is easily refuted. 'Top 7 Monkey Moments was released on the 25th September 2020 and is famously the first video on the channel whose thumbnail does not include an Adobe Spark watermark. The video is also the first to include the amazing Harold Gaming intro and outro sequence, which was used in 2 other videos and then never again.

### ten reasons why i love sinks

This highly anticipated video was first revealed in the Harold Gaming Direct on the 18th August 2020 and was scheduled to release in September. However, the video was victim to a multitude of delays and would not end up releasing until the 12th November 2020, this was due to many reasons but Harold cites the main one as not being able to come up with ten reasons why he loves sinks. After huge fan demand for the video, Harold began to work on it without actually planning out the video, this led to the video being interrupted halfway through by an extra-terrestrial force who proceeds to display bizarre images of sinks and warns us about the dangers of sinks before abruptly ending the paranormal transmission. The video ends soon after.

### top 9 places that suck ass

'top 9 places that suck ass' was released on the 31st January 2021 and is the longest top ten to date, reaching a length of 11 minutes and 29 seconds. The title of the video is a reference to the 2020 EP by PUP titled, 'This Place Sucks Ass.' The final ten minutes of the video is a shameless upload of the infamous, 'Among Us happened to me in real life' Storytime animation video. However only the first ten minutes of the video are included because Streamable (a website that allows you to download YouTube videos as MP4s) only allows you to make ten minute long videos. The file size of this top ten is too large to post to discord, even with discord nitro, which makes Harold sad.
