Greetings,

My name is Taher, Friends and Family call me T, and everyone who I have gamed with or currently game with calls me T. Even my Doctor calls me T. So you get it, you all can call me T too. I wont go into how I got the nickname because that's another story for another day.

Anyways.. I am from Birmingham, UK. I am 39 years old, Married, Kids, Mortgage, Car, Cat and I own my own Business from home with my wife as my Business Partner. Luckily I don't have a Boss to nag me but I got my Wife to do that.. so ye.

Being my own Boss and working from home is perfect for me because I get a lot more time to do my favourite hobby "Playing Video Games".
My 1st handheld game was a clone of Pac Man. It was called Puck Monster, It was a big yellow handheld which I got as a present on my 5th Birthday (1983). I still have that handheld buried somewhere in the attic. My 1st actual console was Atari 2600jr got that on my 7th Birthday (1985), and what really got me into gaming was BBC Acorn Electron . It connected to T.V and a Cassette Player. All the software was played through the cassettes and it had GWBasic (aka Basica) programming language. After borrowing few books on "Mastering GW Basic" from the local library I managed to change few games like the colors, text and even made few of my friends believe that I actually made the game by replacing in game character names with the names of my friends. I was only 10/11 yrs old then. At this time I also used to record gaming footage on VHS tapes and share them with friends so they can see how I passed the level or killed a boss. After that I had Sega Master System, SNES, and at about age 12/13 I got into PC Gaming, not because the games where good or anything. It was because I could change the appearance or crack it by debugging and do a lot more to a game then I could on a console. So I continued gaming on PC while helping friends out with gaming mods, cheats, codes, cracks, Boot Chips to play normal copied games and what not. I was young then didn't know the law, I wouldn't recommend doing that these days because you can get into a lot of trouble. I stopped doing mods, cheats, cracks and hacks back in year 2000 when my 1st son was born. At that time I still gamed on PlayStation consoles and on PC but I also got my head down and worked hard to get to where I am now. Working from comfort of my home and doing my favourite hobby.

Yes I am 39 years young and I love video gaming. And yes, I have been criticised many times about me still gaming at this age, but it don't bother me because if you like Football I like Gaming, If you like Basket Ball I like Gaming, Gaming is my Sport. It's my hobby, and I will continue to do so because this is who I am A Gamer, A Player. A bit rusty know tho.

I started YouTube just recently after all my RL friends and PS4 freinds whom i game with kept nagging me to start a YouTube channel. So i decided to upload my videos on YouTube. The channel i am using to upload my video was actually created by my son in 2013, but he wasn't much active due to school, and it has been inactive for about a year because he is in full time education doing his A Levels. Plus his not into gaming. So i have taken it over from him just over a month now.

Name of my channel is Chaos Crew Gaming (should be a link below by my sig, if i did it right). My son named it after he seen some of my old gaming Floppy Disks, CD's and some of my old networking gear with CC and Chaos Crew stickers on it. The name Chaos Crew was founded in 1996 with a few of my collage friends and we used to organise LAN parties so everyone could game together and party all night.

On my channel i will be uploading gaming videos. I'v have Adobe Creative Cloud 2017 on which i will be doing all my editing, compiling, effects , thumbnails and everything else that i can do to make my videos. I am a novice in Adobe products so i am learning as i go along. Any help or tips is always welcomed.

At the moment i don't have a schedule for my uploads, although i have started it with one of the games i play. I will be playing Destiny 2 mostly and that's the main game i want to schedule around. But i still need to work on that and i hope i can get some help here. I will be very frequent with Destiny 2 uploads starting from get go and i have plans to have a full series based around Destiny 2 including Live streaming every weekend.

I am new to YouTube. I do have a lot to learn so hopefully i will get the help here in these forums on how to make better content, tips, tricks and everything else that can get people to watch more.
I hope i can make some new friends here who might want to game and make some videos. Or whom who don't game but are experts in using Adobe products, or friends who just want to chat.

So there it is, all about me and why i'm here.

Thanks For Reading :)

Peace. T

Thanks guys :)

Ye, iv been gaming for some time, I know my tech but YouTube or editing/compiling videos with effects is all new to me. I have bought Adobe CC 2017 to help me make some nice clean videos. So hopefully as I am still learning Adobe CC, maybe before Destiny 2 ends i'll be making some awesome videos with effects and stuff. :D
