At first I tried a bunch of different kinds of diets. What did you start doing to address that? The wake-up call came when I went to the doctor and he told me I had high blood pressure at the age of 28, which is not great. I just kind of took some time off from working out and was eating anything I wanted. At the beginning of last year though, after I got married, I was up to 325 pounds. I’ve always been a bigger guy I was like 225 pounds in high school. Right after I got married, I guess you could say I got really. Then I progressed to CrossFit for a bit, and lost some weight while doing that. I don’t know why, but I did that for awhile. Yeah! I tend to go through phases-in college, I was lifting a ton, trying to lift as heavy as I could, and then stopped. I saw you were posting on Twitter about some weight loss progress you made recently.
I’m talking and talking, reading the chat, responding to viewers, playing the game, looking back over at the chat-it’s a lot. I mean, more than playing, the biggest part of my job is talking. Oh yeah, totally, that's a huge part of it. I’m sure part of streaming is that you really have to dial everything up and perform for your audience. You were working on the computer all day, and now you’re getting back on it at night to blow off some steam. It’s kind of hard to explain to my wife and difficult to justify in general. Sometimes at night, I’ll finish streaming for eight hours, and be like, “Alright, see ya guys later!” I’ll put my son to bed, and then play some World of Warcraft. They don’t like World of Warcraft or similar games as much since they’re more low-key. My audience really loves first-person shooters and battle royales, games that are more fast-paced. So sometimes I’ll play games on streams for the majority of the day, and then to wind down, I’ll sit back and play some more games at night. Mostly, he makes sure to always leave the house in the morning for a Starbucks coffee run.īefore I had this job, I would go to work and come home to play games to relax.
Over the last handful of years, Tim has experienced his own ups and downs as he’s established-and then attempted to maintain-a healthy lifestyle while also staring at a screen all day.
#Tim the tat man how to#
There’s no guide on how to stream video games for a living, nor is it easy to work from home every day, as many are learning during the COVID-19 crisis. He now has millions of followers across platforms. (He estimates he was working 70-plus hour weeks between his “normal” job and his streaming.) After making the switch to gaming full-time, TimTheTatman amassed more and more and more followers across platforms his meteoric rise timed out perfectly with the meteoric rise of Twitch, the go-to streaming service for gamers and, really, anyone doing anything. His streams began in earnest in 2012, but those first years weren’t as lucrative, and they required some expert-level time management. To be fair, he wasn’t just playing the games-he was streaming them, usually for tens of thousands of fans, providing a running commentary of his exploits. Tim Betar, aka TimTheTatman, was able quit his day job and transition to playing video games for a living.
