He started creating gaming videos and skits for YouTube during his high school years in 2009. He joined Ustream in 2011 and moved to Justin.tv, then started streaming on Twitch. He graduated from the Friends School of Baltimore in 2011.^[2] After failing to get into The University of North Carolina, he enrolled in The University of North Carolina-Wilmington. After realizing that college was preventing him from making content, he decided to drop out and move to Los Angeles with other YouTube content creators (GoldGlove, TmarTn, Syndicate, MuzzaFuzza) known collectively as the Gamershore. He did take classes at a community college in Los Angeles, but eventually did YouTube and Twitch streaming full time.^[3]

Cassell continued the series with other YouTuber personalities including Maron under the name Mianiatian Isles in 2020, with Tucker declining to return to the project.

Occasionally he participates in esports tournaments for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. His top esports achievement was winning the Jack Ryan CS:GO Invitational Tournament in 2018.^{[citation needed]} Boner has competed in other events such as Twitch Rivals, and has also competed in some Counter-Strike: Global Offensive matches as a stand-in for the North American esports team Mythic.

The label's first single is "Everything You Need" by Unlike Pluto.^[6] The label has gone on to release new singles on a seasonal basis, and has created some collaboration projects, including one project titled "This Is Cyberpunk"^[7] intended to be a simultaneous release with the videogame Cyberpunk 2077.
