I've always been in love with electronics.
Growing up, I would always be using my sister's iPad until I finally got my own. I grew up playing around with everything I could on the iPad, as well as watching YouTubers like PopularMMOs and jacksepticeye, both of whom were my main inspirations. One Christmas, my dad got me my very own laptop, and it's all history from there. I self-taught myself everything I now know about how to work with UIs, configuring things, gaming, recording & uploading videos, the list goes on-and-on. In 2016, I actually began recording mockup gameplay videos using the unregistered version of Bandicam. I hadn't created my channel yet though, so these videos were solely just for fun. I still have all of these videos backed up, but they're far too cringy and bad to release...
I've had a lot of fortunate experiences growing up.
My family (both my mom and my dad) is very into traveling, so I've had the opportunity to go to many amazing places like Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; Las Vegas, NV; Honolulu, HI; Washington, D.C.; London, England; Paris, France; Rome, Italy; Niagara Falls, NY & Canada; many Caribbean islands like the Bahamas, USVI, BVI, Dominican Republic, Sint Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao; and more. I documented many of the more recent trips on FindPenguins, which you can view here. I am forever thankful for these wonderful experiences with my family.

Things have been challenging, though.
As is true of anybody, I've had my fair share of life challenges: Twice divorced parents, life in a small town where I don't fit in, being targeted because I don't play sports at school, an ex-girlfriend that ended in, let's just say, a mess. And that's just the beginning. There's always so much I want to do but not enough time in a day; I tend to trade sleep for more time to work on projects (I'm actually writing this at 5 AM). Above that, there are many scenarios where my work on projects was disregarded because I was "too young". Though, assuming I can make it through my senior year of high school, outlook is shining bright at the University of Central Missouri (my future college).
I'm beyond thankful for all of my friends.
Through lows, hardships, outbursts, and just dull moments, my closest friends have been there. My true closest friend is my mom; she has always been there for me through everything, even when I didn't deserve it (which I most certainly didn't). I love you, mom! I don't know where I would be without her and everyone else that helped to build me as a person. I owe so much to them and I'm forever thankful for everyone I've had the privilege to meet, whether from family, other friends, school, online, etc.

What now and what's next?
Right now, I'm continuing to produce short-form content, hoping to livestream some more, and the biggest current endeavor: I'm working on starting an indie game studio! Games mean a lot to me and to the brand, and I'm proud to be able to create our own! Take this with a grain of salt though, as I have to prioritize school first. The workload is quite high, but it'll all be worth it!
Thank you. For everything.
I'm so lucky to be in the position that I'm in, and I'm thankful for everything. To every person I talk to, every like, save, comment, subscriber, viewer, listener, player, and you for reading this: Thank you! Content creation has shaped who I am today, and I can't wait to continue building up the BTheEPIC Entertainment™ brand together!
With love, gratitude, and all the best wishes,
Brayden Hustead

My Favorite Lyrics!
I used to never listen to music, but since a few years ago it's become the essence of who I am. I listen to hours of music every day, and even have some private musical projects!
Enjoy some of my favorite current quotes from songs I love below!
(Explicit Warning)
(Lyrics last updated: Mid-2025)
"Why am I a sucker for all your lies?
Strung out like laundry on every line
Why do I come back to you
Like I don't mind if you f**k up my life?"
All Time Low - Monsters (feat. blackbear)
"Now I'll never love you again
Never ____ you again
Never touch you again and-
I'll never miss you again
Never kiss you again
Never with you again and-"
Chri$tian Gate$ - Never With You Again
"Man, I hope I don't see him
Deep down, I hope you're still grievin'"
"'Cause it was never meant to end like this
Standing in the rain in your black dress
So go ahead and tell me what I did to deserve this
And I'm not saying we were perfect
I hope that one night with him was worth it
But telling me that it was a mistake don't make it hurt less
It don't make it hurtless"
Dean Lewis - Hurtless
"You made me feel like a fool for believing
Do you even regret what you did?"
"Hell is a dance floor, watching a red dress
Spin around with someone new
And my heart's for damn sure breaking in my chest
Watching him fall for you
Part of me wants to leave this place
But I can't get the other half to look away
Every song's reminding me that I ain't yours
Oh, Hell is a dance floor"
Vincent Mason - Hell is a Dance Floor
"Never knew the kind of hurt that could come from some sawdust boards"
"Second chances, they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a w***e, you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry, honey, but I passed it up, now look this way"
Paramore - Misery Business
