My real life name is Blagoja/Blazho (Благоја/Блажо) but people call me BPad online, born on September 19th 2003 in a small city Macedonia. I got inlove games at three years old and music a few years later.
MY EPIC GAMING JOURNEY:
I had a "famiclone" when I was around three years old, my mom would play video games on in and I would watch her play. While I was watching her she would translate me the things happening on screen (example would be reaching the castle in Super Mario Bros and Toad telling you that the princess is in another castle). My mom translating me video games and movies are the sole reason I understand english today ( TY MOM %^) ), The game my mom mostly played was called "Spelunker", a game where you try to go down the cave to reach the shrine? Something along those lines. I believe Spelunker is my first game ever, that or a SHMUP game where you play as a plane in the galaxy I dont remamber the name of. I had around six to seven multi-carts (carts with multiple games on it), I also broke four famiclones, they were cheaply made and didnt last more then six months for me atleast. after that when I was around four or five years old we got a computer that I still have today, my older cousins came and they had a CD (which I still own to this day) of MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) which was the first time I got introduced to emulation (more on that later), I played The Punisher, Caddilacs and the Dinosaurs, Hammerin' Harry, Paper Boy, Ghosts and goblins and Street Fighter 2 with my mom. Maybe a year later we got internet and my mom would write down sites on paper with mario and sonic flash games on them so I can play videogames on the browser. As a kid I wasnt alowed to play violent video games, Counter Strike 1.6 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas were very popular among kids my age and I would play them a bit when I visited their house. Even as a kid, I was inseparable with the computer because it was a safe space for me to suffocate the real life problems for a couple of hours. Then in 2016 I got really into emulation, playing NES, SNES and N64 on my computer was a really cool way to experiene playing games that were never released in my country. The same year on the 28th of september (week after my birthday) I made a League of Legends account from friends recommending the game to me in music class, I really liked the champ called Gnar, and mained him untill my friend suggested I play support because he wanted to play ADC. He told me "The hardest support is Thresh, play him he is cool" and then I became a Thresh main and till this day I still play him competativly in ranked. Playing League with that group of people at that time was magical, nobody really knew what was going on but we connected over something and now those days are gone. 2021, I graduate highschool and as a graduation gift my grandfather bought me a pretty expensive gaming laptop and now being able to play anything I want is something special. (TY GRANDPA) 2021 is also the year I bought my first game which was Postal 2 and the Paradise Lost DLC. Few years later and I start to 100% video games that I kept buying on Steam. I have beaten a few very difficult games to 100% first being Caslte Crashers, Hotline Miami 1 and 2, Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest and Will of the wisps and now going for Celeste.
MY MUSIC JOURNEY:
I remember being nine and falling asleep but still listening to Smack That by Akon on my moms phone. Few years later I would go on this deep rabbit hole with music, listening from video game ost's to vaporwave to dubstep to rap in the span of like 4 years (from twelve to sixteen), few years after that I got really into rock and metal, my favorite metal bands were Sodom, Exodus, Annihilator, Anthrax and a few others. After that phase I met up with an astology girl online and I told her where I'm from, she sent me in an even deeper rabbit hole exposing me to yugoslavian goth rock with the song "Demolition group - You Better..." After that I would only listen to bands from Yugoslavia from the same channel that the song I mentioned was posted on (Dronemf S.). And I would stumble uppon a hardcore punk song from a swedish hardcore punk song called 1983 by the band Disgust. Falling inlove wiht the genre I made the "Raw Punk/Hardcore Punk/D Beat" playlist on spotify now sitting at 71 saves (I hate this playlist, it's bad). And then, after a year of listening to HC Punk, Youtube blessed me with an insane recommendation that being L.P.1 by The Coneheads that has a very long title. Listening to this the first time was awful, I hated the alien like sounds that played when the first song started, the vocals were horrible, the lyrics were a joke. After the second song I stopped listening, I couldnt handle the cone. Two days went by, and I listen to it again and its the best thing ever. My love for this album was so big that It's the first album I've ever bought on Bandcamp. This album was VERY influential for me I've been exposed to a genre called "Egg Punk", when it comes to punk I believe THIS IS the lowest of the low you can go with this genre.
