I’m Skycaptin5, I create video content primarily based on the gaming industry. That includes reviews, unique early looks and other exciting takes whenever something interesting pops up. I also livestream a ton of my experiences, which can be great for audience engagement. Be sure to catch one when you can, they’re a blast! I have a history in web development and traditional gaming press with my site Gamerheadquarters.
I’m known online for my critic status in Games, Movies and Tech. I’ve reached over 80 million views on Youtube while having over 110,000 Subscribers with those numbers growing daily. I work with the biggest brands, publishers and developers to cover their content across many distinct industries. For film/series content I’ve worked with Netflix, Disney, Apple and many others.
Special Events
I’ve been lucky to cover a number of unique events as press/media. This includes E3 in Los Angeles for over five years. CES in Las Vegas for technology content for over five years. I’ve also been to Pax West in Seattle among other smaller travels which will be highlighted below under my accolades. When it comes to local events I’m from Canada and have covered the Calgary Expo for over five years and the Calgary International Film Festival for over five years. Speaking of film, I was able to cover Sundance online in 2022 as well.
Gaming Review Experience
Aside from covering many events within the industry and playing thousands of games I’ve been lucky to receive special review opportunities. This includes receiving the Xbox One X ahead of launch to review and more recently the Xbox Series X ahead of launch. I was then lucky to receive the Xbox Series S for coverage about a year after release when I requested it for coverage. These specific opportunities were thanks for a great relationship with Microsoft and Xbox.
Being a member of the media, press and or in general an influencer of sorts I get many opportunities. This includes unique travel events or cool accolades and other features. I want to highlight those below, some of the most exciting and distinct showcases I have to offer.
