They say happiness is being paid to do what you love. Nate is my online persona for doing that which I love, retro video games and culture. It's just I'm not being paid to do so.
I began video blogging in 2012 on YouTube with my best friend Lester under the banner of Thriftdweller. Our online following has grown to over 2500 subscribers with more via Facebook and Google+. Locally, I have officially initiated Retro Games Winnipeg, the city's first retro video game fan group. With their help I was able to host Retro Gamers Unite, our city's first video game convention which was a great success. Since I have been featured on local radio and television.
Retro Canada X is my current project in an effort to branch into more written blogging and website / community management for the retro video game community in Canada. I have reached out to some of my favourite video bloggers, article writers and reviewers in an effort to grow this community and allow others to try their hand at blogging in either written, podcast or video form.
