About Maxsterling619

Max $terling is a Rapper/Producer, Indie Film Director, and Video Game Addict. His addiction began in the early 80′s by playing games like “Space Assault (a modified version of “Space Invader”)” on the TRS-80 Color Computer 2 (his first gaming system), and “Pitfall” on the Atari 2600. In 2006, Max discovered Youtube and started his first channel (maxsterling619) posting his student films and movie mash-ups; in 2008, he watched some episodes of the Irate Gamer Show and became inspired to produce his own show “The Ghetto Gamers” with his friends David and Philip. The Ghetto Gamers show gained positive feedback from the youtube gaming community as well as respect from some of youtube’s finest such as Gamester81, Retrogamer3, and Happyconsolegamer (to name a few). Unfortunately The Ghetto Gamers disbanded in 2009 due to creative differences, causing Max start his own gaming channel “Controller Throwers”, a show that got the attention of Gotgame.com where he currently posts reviews for new games. Now Max has joined Gamester81.com bringing his own unique flair to retrogaming reviewing. Favorite games: Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!, Contra, Goldeneye 007, Resident Evil 2, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Shinobi 3 Favorite Consoles: DREAMCAST, Saturn, Xbox (with XBMC installed), SegaCD, NES
