Adam Robertson

**Adam Robertson** (born November 18, 1998 (age 24)), known online as ***Ts II DoMiNaToR,*** ***MadmanRoberto123*** & ***MadmanRoberto124***, is a Scottish internet personality, best known for his work as the founder and leader of **Glitch Hunter**.

## **Personal Channel**

Adam has a personal channel, *Ts II DoMiNaToR* (named after his main online alias), where he posts mainly videogame playthroughs, similar to his work for GH. Sometimes, Adam takes breaks from Glitch Hunter to try and grow his own audience separate from GH, but after returning from one of these breaks, he struggled to juggle the two channels. In his own words;

*"When I stream for my channel, I always think "I would rather be playing the game for GH."*

Because of this, Adam decided to place his channel on an indefinite hiatus, beginning on October 22nd, 2021. However, he had announced on his personal Twitter account the day prior that he intended to finish all games he considered 'loose ends'. Despite this claim, he changed his mind after prematurely ending a stream of *Assassin's Creed II*, ending it less than 20 minutes in.

As of October 17th, 2023, Adam has stated his intention to returning to his personal channel, and this came into fruition when he stepped back from streaming on GH on October 31st, 2023. He is currently doing casual streams on this channel, playing whatever game crosses his fancy.

## **Personality**

Out of all the members of GH, Adam is probably the easiest to entertain, as he is by far and away the one who bursts into laughter the easiest, as most evidenced by the Release Day Special for *Resident Evil Village*, where almost everything causes him to laugh. He's also prone to making jokes, both in party and stream chats, to get laughs out of the other GH members. So, in a way, he could be considered the 'Jester' of Glitch Hunter.

However, this humorous side of Adam can be sharply contrasted with episodes of rage, most evidently shown in his playthrough of *Assassin's Creed: Unity*, when in Episode 5, he cut off the stream after one mission gave him trouble. Although, his rage doesn't come out too often, usually only reaching the 'mildly annoyed' level, but mostly, Adam tries to remain cool, calm and collected during livestreams (if a bit absent-minded).

Although he doesn't like to show off, Adam does tend to share a lot of the knowledge he has on some of the games he plays for the channel, especially the *Assassin's Creed* series, where he has, on multiple occasions, given the backstory to various entries, such as the *AC* *Chronicles* trilogy. He is also the most inquisitive member of GH, as he is usually the member who finds the hidden secrets and references in games, while the other members mainly speed through the story of the games they play, as evidenced by the playthrough of *Resident Evil 6*, where large parts of the campaigns were dedicated to Adam showing how to get the game's Emblems.

When it comes to GH's audience, Adam tries to to be as friendly an individual as possible, as he always welcomes both old and new viewers to the chat, and strikes up a conversation with them, which often continues throughout the livestream. However, he has accidentally insulted viewers on at least two occasions, both of which he regrets, as he wants GH to be a place where *all* people can feel welcome.

## **Adam's Breaks**

Occasionally, Adam has taken breaks from his work for Glitch Hunter, due to either wanting to focus on his own personal YouTube channel, or because being burnt out from the workload, or to simply take a break for his other interests.

* The first break he took was after he streamed episode 6 of his *Assassin's Creed: Syndicate* playthrough, beginning on November 9th, 2020, and it ended when he streamed the first episode of his *Slime Rancher* playthrough on December 30th. He took this break because he was burnt out from the marathon of work he had been doing for the channel in the preceding months, thanks to wanting to finish the *Assassin's Creed* series before *Valhalla* released.

* The second started after he streamed the final episode of *American McGee's Alice*, beginning on April 18th, 2021, and ended on May 17th. He took this break as he had, again, been burnt out from his workload, and wanted to focus on building his own personal channel, as he had been neglecting it for a while.
* The third break was announced on the GH Twitter account on June 26th, 2021, in which it was announced that Adam would be stepping back from streaming for an extended period after finishing his playthrough of *The Vanishing of Ethan Cer* to regain his creative spark. This break began on June 28th, 2021. However, his return was announced on GH's Twitter account on August 4th, 2021, and he returned to streaming on August 6th, with a schedule in place to prevent creator burnout.
* His fourth break was announced on GH's Facebook and Twitter pages on July 16th, 2022, where it was stated that he would be stepping back from streaming for at least two weeks, due to problems with his internet. However, despite not entirely fixing his internet problems, he decided to return to streaming on July 30th with an episode of *Jump King.*
* His fifth break was announced at the beginning of May 2023, whilst he was working through the story DLCs for the *Assassin's Creed* series. This break began on May 12th, 2023, after he finished the '*Tyranny of King Washington*' DLC for *Assassin's Creed III,* and was planned to last for at least 2 weeks, so Adam can put some time into the then-newly released *Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.* He returned to streaming on May 26th, with the first episode of his *F.E.A.R.* playthrough.
* His 6th break was announced on his personal YouTube channel's Community tab on October 17th, 2023, where he stated that after October 31st, he would be stepping back from GH for an extended period (at least 1-2 months), to allow for the other members to catch up on their backlogs, as well as do some casual streams on his personal channel. However, he would still be participating in any planned collabs, instead uploading his POVs of those playthroughs to his channel. This break officially started on October 31st, 2023, after a *Friday the 13th* collab with Scott.

## **Trivia**

### **Glitch Hunter:**

* Adam is Glitch Hunter's resident expert on the ***Assassin's Creed***, ***Elder Scrolls*** & ***American McGee's Alice*** series.
* He is the most active member of GH by far, having uploaded the most videos to the channel, with his personal playlist numbering at 626 videos as of November 7th, 2023.
* When it comes to the game library he plays for GH, Adam tends to be the member that has the most varied taste, as he is willing to play almost any game that strikes his fancy. Over the course of his career in Glitch Hunter, he has played games in the genres of action/adventure, horror, puzzle, visual novels, platformers, shooters, and 'walking simulators'.
* He also makes it a note to play as many games as possible blindly, so as to give the most genuine reactions. The most prominent examples of this are his playthroughs of ***The Vanishing of Ethan Carter***, **Resident Evil 7: biohazard** and ***The Suicide of Rachel Foster***.
* Adam is known to repeatedly call out "Nope!" whenever he gets scared in a game. Prominent examples include his playthroughs of ***Kholat*** & ***Bendy and the Ink Machine***.
* Adam is a member of three teams in Glitch Hunter; **The Founding Fathers,** the **GH Casuals** & **STRIKE TEAM: BADASS**.
* So far, Adam has had the most technical problems during a livestream out of all GH members. Over the course of his work for GH, he has experienced game crashes, clipping issues, multiple freezes and the occasional struggle for the livestream to even record gameplay.
* Adam is the creator and main moderator for the Glitch Hunter social media accounts.
* Out of all GH members, Adam is the one who has went through the most changes to his means of creating content. First, he began by simply recording gameplay using his phone, then he switched to livestreaming directly to YouTube/Twitch, and then he further changed this by adding his facecam to his livestreams.

### **Gaming:**

* He used to refuse playing horror games, but after caving in and playing some, has gained a new respect (and in some cases, hatred) for them.
	+ His favorite horror games include titles such as ***Slender***, ***Layers of Fear***, ***Bendy and the Ink Machine***, ***Resident Evil*** & ***Five Nights at Freddy's***.
	+ He has previously held a hatred for ***Outlast*** & ***White Day: a labyrinth named school***, both of which "scared him too much to continue", at least at first. However, he has since went back and began a 100% playthrough of *White Day*, along with completing a playthrough of *Outlast*. This hatred also extended slightly to ***Kholat***, due to an incident he went through in the past, but he has since powered through and completed the game.
* While he doesn't play a lot of shooters, Adam has showcased a preference for a combination of sniper rifles and shotguns, mostly leaning towards the latter type of weapon. He demonstrates this mostly in his playthroughs of the *Borderlands* series, where he always gravitates towards the sniper characters.
* He mostly plays a game for the lore, but he doesn't judge a game entirely by its story, being able to recognize if the gameplay sucks.
* Despite being the newest to the game out of all of GH, Adam has become probably the roster's biggest fan of *Dead by Daylight*, having bought all Chapters for the game, and prestiging his main Killer and Survivor at least once each
	+ He is a self-admitted "*Ringu* main" as his main Killer is the Onryō (who he has got to Prestige Level 6), and his main Survivor is Yoichi Asakawa, both of whom originate from the horror movie *Ringu*.
	+ Depsite having prior experience of the game, due to an earlier livestream with Scott, it wasn't until the release of the *Sadako Rising* Chapter that Adam started to become a fan.

* Despite his anger at various games, Adam only carries a 'grudge' against one game; ***Toy Story 3***, on the Xbox 360, which causes him no end of embarrassment from his peers in GH. This is due to him being one achievement away from achieving 100% completion, and being unable to get it, due to an issue with the game.
* Adam is known to keep a list of 'scores' he has to settle with various games, most of which are games he played when he was younger.
	+ The current known games on this list are: *Toy Story 3* on the Xbox 360 (for the reasons stated above), and *XIII* for the Xbox.
	+ Games that *were* on the list include: *Voodoo Vince*, which he beat using the remaster (along with completing an official playthrough for the Glitch Hunter channel), *Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut*, which he finished on the Xbox 360, and it's sequel, *Sonic Adventure 2: Battle*, which he also finished on the 360.

### **Outside of Gaming:**

* He has two pet cats: Hiro & Kuro, both of whom have appeared multiple times in streams.
* Adam is an avid *otaku*, having watched and read various anime and manga series.
	+ His favorite genres are Horror, Mystery, and strangely, Slice-of-Life and High School Romance.
	+ He has a list for his top three anime series, that which he calls his 'Unholy Trifecta'.
		- These shows, in order, are *Higurashi, Another* and *Corpse Party*.
	+ In terms of anime *characters*, however, his top three are: Nozomi Tojo from the *Love Live!* franchise, Rika Furude from *Higurashi*, and Yukari Sakuragi from *Another*.
	+ His love of anime even extends to having a large playlist of anime songs on his phone.
	+ He even started a new channel on YouTube, which is dedicated to reviewing anime, manga and *otaku* topics, which he called *Madman Anime Reviews*.
* His respect for Japanese media doesn't just extend to the anime/manga world, as he has also played multiple Japanese games, and is a fan of many Japanese films.
* Despite not having the best taste in music, Adam has proven to be good at singing, especially rapping.
	+ In fact, his signature karaoke song is *"Gangster's Paradise"* by Coolio. In order to get him to actually sing it, however, he has to be physically drunk, enough for him to say "fuck it". However, when he is teased about it after the fact, he simply retorts with "What I do when I'm drunk, I can't be held responsible for." This is because, in his words; "Drunk Adam's a dick!"
