Early life
Condren was born in Ireland on 13 April 1995,[10] the son of an Irish father and Canadian mother. He holds dual Irish and Canadian citizenship.[11] He studied at Trinity College in Dublin, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English literature in November 2017.[12][13] It was during his time in college when he gained the title of 'The Drift King' after winning a college Mario Kart tournament on 3 December 2015.[14][15]
Career
Condren created his YouTube channel on 13 August 2011 and uploaded his first video, a Terraria Let's Play, five days later.[16] In December 2018, he joined Yogscast's annual charity event Jingle Jam, where he helped raise $3.3 million.[17][18]
His videos have included organising Minecraft building sessions for his Twitch subscribers,[2] spending 13 days (and an in-game time of 2 days) searching for a shiny Wooloo in Pokémon Sword and Shield,[19] and knocking out every NPC in the Hitman 3 level of Sapienza in order to stuff them all into a meat freezer and kill the entire population with a single shot into an explosive canister (which ultimately failed when the bodies formed a "meat shield").[4][5][20]
In December 2022, YouTube age-restricted some of his videos. Condren asserted that the platform was "retroactively restricting videos that violate recent policy changes."[21] The updated guidelines gained visibility when he made a video on the topic,[22] with YouTube set to revise the policy after being criticised for its poor communication regarding these changes.[23][24]
