Emiliano Rodolfo Rosales-Birou (born April 8th 1990), better known by his online alias Chuggaaconroy, is an American producer of Let's Play videos on that are watched on YouTube.[1] Currently, Chuggaaconroy has over 900,000 subscribers on his channel with over 700,000,000 views from his videos altogether. [2]
Getting started on YouTube
Chuggaaconroy's first YouTube video was uploaded on March 16th 2008 and was a boss run on Very Hard difficulty in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. [3] His first Let's Play video was uploaded ten days later, March 26th 2008, for one of his favorite games, EarthBound.[4] He felt that comfort for a game that he played "six...eight times" but still admits that his first video "starts off bad" and how the series was "a little slow in the beginning, but gets better."[5] Chuggaaconroy often cites that watching Let's Play videos in 2007 produced by Jonathan "ProtonJon" Wheeler to be what got him interested in trying to start his own Let's Plays.[6] Chuggaaconroy started his hobby of uploading Let's Play videos at the time when those types of videos were beginning to get popular in 2006 when they appearing as just screenshots of games with text on the forums of Something Awful. [7]
Style of Videos
Chuggaaconroy's videos are not scripted shows like Red vs. Blue and he is not a video game critic or aiming to be competitive either.[8] His videos are called "Let's Plays", a popular phenomenon that involves people playing through games with commentary about the game in a walkthrough form. The difference is that between text walkthroughs and Let's Play videos is that the commentary in the videos may not have to always relate to what is going on in the game, since the commentator also has to keep the viewer's attention during the video.[9] Compared to other Let's Play channels like PewDiepie or Achievement Hunter, Chuggaaconroy's channel is structured through series of videos that focuses his uploading schedule to one game at a time. Currently, Chuggaaconroy has 28 playlists for Let's Plays done by himself and is a part of 17 collaboration Let's Plays. [10] Unlike the much more popular PewDiePie, Chuggaaconroy has less swearing and goofing around, something that PewDiePie is known for. [11]
