YouTube History

Anthony originally used YouTube as a extra "storage device" for his 4 GB Apple Ipod Touch which ran out of space every time Anthony wanted to make a video. He started his first channel on May 18th, 2011, named vaderboy09. (www.youtube.com/vaderboy09) He found out that he could have unlimited space by uploading his videos to that magical website he watched funny cat videos on, called YouTube. He made around 300+ videos on vaderboy09, but by the end he had about 18 subscribers. Great number, right?

He started to watch more than just cat videos when he saw people playing games on YouTube. He thought "Well that looks fun!" and so he set on a quest to play games on YouTube. Believe it or not, it took him about a year of preparation to think of the name and learn how to game on YouTube in general. The name for his first gaming channel was TheEvilTrollMaster. (www.youtube.com/theeviltrollmaster) On that channel, he made videos of Minecraft, Garry's Mod, and a few other games. He also made some tutorials and speedarts.

As 1 year of TheEvilTrollMaster passed by, Anthony started to believe that the name "TheEvilTrollMaster" was not really professional and he wanted a fresh start on YouTube. He then started his current main channel, and he named it Mercanthony. He basically just combined his first name "Anthony" and his last name "MERCaldi" and got Mercanthony. Lets just be glad he didn't choose "Anthaldi."

Normal History

Anthony was born on May 1st, 2011, in New Jersey, USA. He was always into techy type endeavors. He decided not to go to Pre-K because he wanted to play computer and console games throughout that year. Even in kindergarten he was using computers to make graphic design. His first computer for him at home was (believe it or not) an IBM laptop. A few years later, he upgraded to a Toshiba laptop from Staples. (which he used for TheEvilTrollMaster videos) When he started Mercanthony, he bought a HP Pavillion p7-1240. After about a year of Mercanthony, he upgraded most of the parts of the same computer.
