"Greetings Cyberdogs and citizens of the internet!" ReNDoG

ReNDoG is a YouTuber who focuses on producing family friendly content for anyone to enjoy. His content is primarily Minecraft, but he's uploaded plenty of content on other amazing games as well. He's also a proud member of Hermitcraft and often collaborates on videos with his fellow Hermitcraft members.

ReNDoG is South-African, though currently lives in England. Throughout many of his videos, he recounts many of his childhood stories and experiences, adding his particular brand of humor in order to engage viewers.

History

"Lets Play's" (2006-2014)

ReNDoG's original channel icon, from at least 2012-2014

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.
