ReNDoG created his YouTube channel on the 9^th of January, 2006; only a year into the site's history as a whole. On his channel ReNDoG would feature a number of games, ranging from as Metro: Last Light to Project Zomboid. Through this time period up until around 2014 his content was quite varied. Many of his earlier videos are no longer available on his channel for various reasons, however, though ReNDoG would learn a lot from his early work.

Terraria (2010-2012)

In late 2010, ReNDoG pivoted to making videos about the 2D-Sandbox game Terraria, uploading videos of him playing the game as well as guides for the Wiki. ReNDoG would find his first breakout success in December of 2011 with his upload of Let's Play Terraria: Episode 1 (Afro) which would see 150,000 views in its' lifetime. Through his early Terraria videos, ReNDoG grew a fanbase, which he would eventually name "Cyberdogs". More recently, ReN has dabbled in Terraria again with another Let's Play, however the play through was never completed.
