-Hey ladies and gents, welcome to my channel. I've been playing video games for almost 20 years. I've played games such as Socom, Syphon Filter, Medal of Honor, Crazy Taxi, Twisted Metal, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Army of Two, Killzone, Lost Planet, Killzone, Crysis, Kane & Lynch, Hitman, Need For Speed, BigMuthaTruckers, GT Racer, Split/Second, MX Unleashed, I mean the list goes on.
-But as of late I've posted/post a variety of stuff that appease to me. I'm not about to cater to whats popular simply because people want it. The difference for me is, if I enjoy playing a game, I feel that my genuine happiness should reflect the entertainment on the viewers, not some fake façade to display to entertain viewers simply because I'm not enjoying the game I'm playing.
-If you're interested you can catch all my lives at www.twitch.tv/notjustpersian, otherwise don't forget to Like & Subscribe and turn on Post Notifications so you don't forget an upload. Cheers folks.

Hello, this for anyone who see's this in the future. I have a lot to say and not sure how really well to put it. But guess I'll try, and bear with me because EVERYTHING I'm about to say is important. So first things first, I started this channel back in August of 2016 with the idea of growing it with the 3 friends/roommates I had been living with (Connor, Daniel, & Megan), but 2 weeks after creating the channel [under a completely different name] both Connor & Daniel moved out because the Megan and I had begun dating. Connor & Daniel had initially told me the decision for them moving out was so they wouldn't interfere with Mine and Megan's new found relationship, which so I thought that was the reason. I found out about a few months ago from Connor, that they moved out actually because Daniel had really liked Megan and he had apparently told me this, and Connor tried defending my actions with flirting with Megan saying that I'd known her since I was in middle school [which I have] there wasn't really ever a connection for him to be worried about. And that was just how we always talked.
*{For context, at this point in time I was attending Arizona State University, studying Law/Criminal Justice, I was in a initial 3 year program from Fall 2013- Spring 2016 to obtain my JD (Juris Doctor Degree, which would allow me to attend another however many years I wanted to obtain my Bachelors \2 years/ or Masters \4 years/). After graduating HS in 2012 I immediately moved to Arizona with Megan where we both moved in together since we'd be attending the same College but studying in different fields. By Summer of 2014, Connor who attended the same HS as Megan and I had just graduated himself (as he was a sophomore when we graduated, and decided to attend ASU as well). So Megan asked if he could move in with us, I didn't hesitate in saying yes because I like the guy. Around June of 2016, I had been hearing rumblings between Connor and Megan about possibly letting another person move in, and Megan wasn't really liking the thought so Connor had presumably dropped it. Until around late June when Connor came up to me and asked about a fourth person moving in, and I told him that i'd think on it and get back to him. Then the first week of July rolls around and Connor and Megan are in their respective classes while I'm at our place and I get a knock on our door, and its who I know now as Daniel. (He says "sup" then pushed his way past me as his parents brought his stuff in. I called Connor and was like WTF, but I kinda hung and after I saw how Daniels parents treated him I was willing to let him stay with us for his studies. My god did his parents treat him like crap. I felt bad for him, he had just turned 18, and I had already completed my Juris Doctors Degree and enrolled in a 4 year program to get my Masters from 2016-2020. And in Late July Connor, Megan, AND Daniel had brought up the idea of making a YouTube Channel together to document our lives in College and other aspects of life. So I created it in August of 2016, but Daniel had been growing feelings for Megan, and I had been flirting with her since middle school. And Daniel didn't like that so 2 weeks later Connor and Daniel moved out and into their own place}.*
Megan was in their Medical School. After our friendship turned intimate in 2016, resulting in 2 people moving out and not exactly wanting anything to do with us. I focused on her and my education. But in 2017, she had finished their 5 year PhD Pre-Med Program, and had decided to move elsewhere so she could progress further in her field. We dated long distance for 1 year n' half after she moved to California, but ended things due to the strain it was putting on the both of us to keep going. I finished my Masters in 2020, and moved back to my home state of MA. Where I took up odd jobs until fall of 2022, where then I began the 4 month long Academy for the State Police. In March of 2023, I graduated, and in the crowd I saw Megan, Connor, and my immediate family. But not Daniel, afterwards I had talked with Megan, and I found out she had begun working as a nurse at the hospital down the street from me, and I asked her to move in with me again. We dated for another few months and in June of 2023 we had officially tied the not. And in September of 2023, we had found out she was pregnant, and in November, Connor reached out and had filled me in that Daniel was angry with me about the way things ended and I told Connor, I never asked you both to move out. Then Connor blocked my number.
You [the reader] are probably wondering to yourself...why does any of this nonsense matter? Well because it tells a tale in the likes of an origin almost to where the idea of where this Channel was supposed to be. But overtime I couldn't find the passion nor consistency to upload anything. Thats why the very first video wasn't until January of 2019, and the first Livestream wasn't until sometime in 2021. After losing the very reason for creating the channel pretty fairly early on, there wasn't really much of a reason for me to post except for the videos I had already recorded from my console on my off days when I wasn't working the part-time job I had while in College and/or was studying for exams.
And now the second and final thing...I know a lot of reading to be had in this, but the reason I'm writing this, is because this not only gives you a true background of where and what this channel was supposed to be like. But this is basically a final goodbye, I know i've done plenty of those over the years that I've been periodically uploading and streaming. But this time its permanent, The last Persian Empire has fallen.
