The Legend of Beastlol: A Totally Epic and Mildly Ridiculous Name Origin Story

So, you wanna know how I got the name Beastlol? Buckle up, because this is a tale of creativity, confusion, and a little bit of sheer dumb luck.

Chapter 1: The Rise of SNiPER (a.k.a. Me Trying to Be Cool)

Back in the golden days of gaming—before battle passes, loot boxes, and 12-year-olds calling you trash in voice chat—I was a semi-pro gamer. I played Counter-Strike, Call of Duty 4, and Battlefield, and I thought I was the guy. Like, next-level, MLG montage-worthy, Doritos-and-Mountain-Dew-fueled legend.

Naturally, being the creative mastermind that I am, I decided to name myself SNiPER. Why? Because I liked to snipe. Genius, right? The originality was simply chef’s kiss.

Everything was going great until I joined a team and met another guy named Snipen. That’s when things got weird. Every time someone called out “Sniper,” we’d both answer. Chaos. Confusion. Pure tactical disaster.

So, in a stroke of pure brilliance, I thought, You know what? I’m not just a sniper. I’m a BEAST.

And just like that, SNiPER was dead. Long live Beast.

Chapter 2: The Entry Fragger Arc

After ditching sniping, I went full send into the most aggressive playstyle possible. I became an entry fragger—basically, the guy who runs in first, guns blazing, clearing the way for the team. My job was to rush into the enemy, spray bullets, cause mass confusion, and (sometimes) get eliminated immediately while my teammates cleaned up.

I wasn’t just playing. I was terrorizing lobbies. SMGs in hand, I’d fly into rooms, sending enemies into a panic while I yelled things (in a Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) like “SURPRISE!” or “GET TO DA CHOPPA” into the mic. It was glorious.

Chapter 3: World of Warcraft Ruins Everything

Then came World of Warcraft. A totally different game, a totally different vibe, but the same me—still wanting to be called Beast.

I confidently typed "Beast" into the name selection.

Taken.

Okay, no problem. Let’s try xBeastx.

Taken.

Alright… Beastt?

Taken.

Fine. xXBeastXx?

Taken.

At this point, I was losing my mind. Then I noticed a trend—WoW players loved to slap an lol or qt at the end of their names. Beastlol?

Available.

And just like that, a legend was born. Well I also had the name with "Alt codes" of Bèást because it looked like eyebrows. There is a lot more to my WoW story but thats for a differnt post.

Chapter 4: The YouTube Era

Once I had my brand-new, slightly ridiculous gamer tag, I stuck with it. When I launched my YouTube and Twitch channel in 2008, I went with Beastlol. I made gaming content, cracked jokes, and had a blast. Still using the Arnold voice of course. Which there is a whole story with that too... Future post for sure.

Then, somewhere along the way, I took a sharp turn from digital explosions to real explosions—fireworks. Thus, Beastlol Fireworks was born, a channel dedicated to helping people find the best fireworks in California.

Since 2014, I’ve been making videos, sharing my love for fireworks, and making people laugh. It’s a niche hobby, and yeah, it’s super seasonal, but hey—who doesn’t love blowing stuff up (safely, of course)?

Chapter 5: The Future?

So here we are. Is this the moment before Beastlol Fireworks becomes the next big thing? Will I be rolling in fireworks sponsorships, launching the first-ever Beastlol Unsafe and INsane fountain? Or will I just keep making videos for the die-hard fireworks fans out there?

Who knows.

What I do know is that whether it’s gaming, fireworks, or just making people laugh, I’ll keep doing what I love. And hey—if you’re reading this, you’re already part of the journey.

Let’s see where this goes.
