me but guess what it's okay he's an easy target if you haven't heard of his name before i guarantee you you're definitely not going to forget it from this point onwards and to test this game i hate you too [Music] honestly can you stop kudzu ban everybody that says i got on i'm done i'm sorry i'm done with the string geordie jordan aka wings of redemption was born on the 21st of april 1986 into what you might call unfortunate circumstances his birth had been the result of a teenage pregnancy and due to the young age of his parents geordie would be raised with the help of his grandparents in their trailer park home at the age of two his father and alcoholic would abandon the family entirely giving us a pretty clear idea of the unfortunate means by which wings of redemption had been brought into the world however while the circumstances were far from desirable as geordie jordan entered school he would begin to excel in sports claiming to be one of the most athletic people in his class that would be until a physically gifted foreign exchange student joined his year placing jordy in second place for most school sporting events in order to counteract this geordie explained that he began to eat more during dinner time under the assumption that it would help him grow faster hopefully giving him a physical advantage over his opponents however this would cause jordy to begin gaining excessive weight ultimately leading to a sporting underperformance and isolation into the fantasy world of video games in the process of this his family including his brother and single mum would move from his grandparents trailer park home into low-income government housing where geordie jordan would continue to gain weight while further isolating himself from society by the age of 14 he had reached approximately 240 pounds or 110 kilograms also being diagnosed with bipolar and social anxiety disorder adding to the isolation even further to counteract this geordie jordan would begin to take on various low-skilled jobs in order to get out of the house more often as well as earn himself a little bit of income in his late teens he would take on various positions such as working at a video rental store a supermarket as a 911 operator and even as a domino's pizza delivery driver however he found many of these to be boring and unstimulating often leading him to quit within only two weeks of starting however at the age of 18 geordie jordan would finally get into a position which he was able to hold for some period of time specifically a job working for a company by the name of met class what i did at meclast is i was overhead crane operator for blast furnaces that basically poured liquid metal and things out kind of like turbinator 2. while working at metclass in 2007 geordi and another friend by the name of z7 taylor would play call of duty in the evenings also starting to regularly watch sniper montages over on youtube in the process geordi thought about making his own videos however given his busy work schedule would dismiss the idea as he had minimal time for doing so however in 2008 an event would occur that presented itself as a negative in the beginning however would turn out to be a huge turning point in his life the global financial crisis geordi explained that since he was one of the more expensive employees at met class who was one of the first to lose their job as business profits began to tumble they started laying people off and one of the people that got laid off was me because i was one of the newer employees and i was also getting paid more than most of the employees on the flat factory floor he would then be put on government unemployment payments which in combination with his previous employment history seemed to dampen geordie jordan's confidence in relation to his ability to hold down a job working for someone else if you think i could hold a job down you're kidding yourself the reason i don't get a job is i can't hold one down however there was one advantage to come out of this whole situation suddenly geordie jordan had all the time in the world his friend z7 taylor had started making his own call of duty videos and noticing the success of them because i've seen taylor in his channel and i love reading the comments so i'm like damn he would order a hd pvr capture card and begin to record his own high definition call of duty videos in his newly found free time geordie jordan would then register a youtube channel under the name wings of redemption taking the name from an inscription on king tut's tomb which stated death shall come quick on swift wings to him who disturbs the peace of the king but while making a brand new channel was extremely exciting for wings of redemption he wouldn't even make it past his first video before embroiling himself in some level of controversy in his very first video wings felt the need to stick up for a call of duty strategy known as camping where the player would stay in one location for a prolonged period of time and wait for players to come to him instead of the other way around some people think i'm a camper which i am a camper the strategy was common but often frowned upon by players who are more aggressive and as a result his comment section would fill up by many who opposed his playstyle however on the opposite end of the spectrum people also respected wings for his honesty and his unapologetic nature towards the strategies that he preferred and as a result he began to build an audience given the almost non-existent competition on youtube at the time wings would quickly become one of the fastest growing creators on the platform and with such he began to gain the attention of other large call of duty youtubers specifically one by the name of woody's game attack hi this is woody the unexceptional gamer and i make call of duty videos designed to help my unexceptional brethren do better in the game woody's game tag had begun youtube at around the same time as wings and in order for them to share their audience with one another they will begin to post dual commentary videos hey guys it's woody the unexceptional gamer and i'm doing a dual con with wings of redemption today also starting a podcast together by the name of painkiller already or pka for sure hello guys this is painkiller already and i'm your host jordy jordan aka known as wings redemption for anybody else can't put two or two together in this podcast wings would continue with his strong opinions and unapologetic attitude on topics relating to call of duty however with such would also begin to gain a reputation as a guy who would constantly respond to those who shared differing opinions while wing's goal was to subdue the negative feedback by responding to it it instead seemed to amplify it as his audience noticed that the best way to get attention from wings was to simply leave a negative comment which wings often struggled to ignore in addition to this wings would begin to show his face more regularly in his videos prompting negative comments in relation to his weight however despite clearly being on the heavier side his subscriber count was mediated by his gameplay rather than his physical appearance and by august 2011 wings of redemption had peaked as the 281st most subscribed channel on all of youtube with a little over 300 000 subscribers and for all intents and purposes wings of redemption's youtube channel seem to be chugging along just fine that would be until the 67th episode of the painkiller already podcast where the tragedy of wings of redemption would really set into motion after one of if not the most notorious call of duty events in youtube history to spice things up on this episode of the podcast woody and wings would invite another streamer and youtuber on by the name of syndicate who would he describe to be the best call of duty zombies player on the planet possibly feeling subconsciously threatened by syndicate's channel and call of duty skill wings was quote wildly disrespectful to syndicate throughout the stream i could put up a fight again you know in like cut forming of two or the war but then throw me into dude you would get destroyed in a world of war i have never lost in addition to this wings would go ahead and state that he says that he'd be much better at zombies on his first game he doesn't even play zombies but if he were to he'd be much better than the best player on the planet in order to settle the dispute wings and syndicate would agree to one they won each other in multiplayer gonna watching m16s on bog right now that that could go i'd do it for the fun of it i'd go for it let's do it so what map are we playing with game rules that favored wings as opposed to syndicate he lays it all out there so it's to his advantage just to top it all off the match was hosted on usa servers favoring wings and giving syndicate a massive disadvantage due to lag as he was located in the uk there was no way that wings could possibly lose this match as the odds were completely stacked in his favor or so he thought the winner would be the first player to reach 30 kills or whoever had the most kills at the 10 minute mark after nine minutes of intense back and forth syndicate had 13 kills while wings only had nine with less than a minute remaining realising that there was no way he could catch up wings would announce that i probably won't be on painkiller already again which was followed by events that i think are best experienced by simply watching the real footage wings did you spawn in i broke my controller you broke your controller why the [ __ ] you stream that [ __ ] it was your idea no i didn't say streaming in front of 7 000 live viewers after hours of trash talk wings was humiliated with nine kills as opposed to syndicates 14. jordy's reaction led his audience to realize one simple thing wings of redemption was not this famous call of duty hero who took a romantic risk by starting youtube no he was an immature man child who happened to catch the call of duty youtube wave while living on unemployment the difference between his online persona and true personality had finally shone through in case wing's reputation hadn't deteriorated enough already this was really only the beginning syndicate will posed a screenshot to his twitter the following day displaying a conversation in which wings had requested they play again in a fixed match where syndicate would let wings win with the goal of restoring geordie's reputation the screenshot would end with syndicate stating you want to come out on top of this situation you just made it 10 times worse as well as no way wings you just blew it big time wings videos would then begin to fill with comments regarding his childish reaction to the loss however rather than rectifying it by stating the syndicate one fair and square wings would paint himself as the victim of the situation stating the reason he didn't win the match was because woody hadn't set the rules correctly in addition to this he would upload videos talking about the many problems that he'd been dealing with uploaded with the assumed goal of garnering sympathy from his viewer base there's been so much stress with sub box breaking the the view count thing the losing the 1v1 all the haters all the loss of subs i've actually gained 20 pounds because all i've been doing is worrying and eating worrying and eating the problem was that attempting to garner sympathy ended up having the opposite effect on his reputation as the approval seeking did nothing but display his overwhelming lack of confidence this lack of personal confidence also began to manifest itself in videos where wings would talk about his weight stating that he had gained approximately a hundred pounds from comfort eating since his reputation began to decline in order to combat this wings would move in with a new member of the pka podcast kyle where carl would act as his personal trainer giving him an exercise routine and cooking him healthy food for every single meal kyle had even spent five thousand dollars to rebuild his shower and if he was going to live with me we would have to put in a new shower so construction began the next day on a five thousand dollar show stating that it would have been too small for wings to fit in however despite carl putting in an incredible effort to help wings after only a week wings had requested to leave kyle convinced him to stay for another three weeks leaving after having lost an impressive 40 pounds upon returning home geordi would hire a personal trainer however problematically given his lack of discipline and the return to his old environment wings would gain the weight back in the few weeks following his return home despite having left kyle's house this wouldn't be the last time that they hung out approximately five months later the three main members of the pka podcast being woody kyle and wings agreed to go on a survival style camping trip in the woods together kyle traveled three hours from his house to the location at which they agreed to meet which was followed by a call to wings checking to see how far away he was this would be the point at which woody and kyle's continually compassionate attitude towards wings would finally dissipate i'm driving in the night before let me give old wings a call make sure we're all good to go here you know call em ups hey man get ready to do this thing i'm i'm driving in now about three hours from the place what are you up to i'm not going [Music] what what what do you mean i'm not coming when were you going to tell me i'm telling you right now wings had left carl and woody to camp by themselves resulting in wings alienating his final two youtube friends and ultimately being kicked off the pka podcast yeah so we've decided it was a group decision we decided that uh wings redemption wasn't going to continue with us on the show for at least the the foreseeable future he's got a lot of stuff that he needs to work out before he's you know up to par with with what we need from him you know he's he's having a hard time and uh he's he's made some decisions that we didn't feel were we're so friendly so for the time being uh we're gonna we're gonna continue without him it would then become apparent that wings was questioning whether or not he wanted to continue as a youtuber stating that he would like to quit youtube however the status it provided made such a decision extremely difficult i know what i need to do what i need to do is quit youtube and move on my life but at the same time this is the high point so far in my life it's hard to walk away from having access to 50 000 people basically being able to get advice at any time of the day any day of the week hard to walk away from you know being somebody of importance to going back into a world where you're nobody however perhaps the end of jordi's youtube channel was out of his control because by this point his subscriber count had already begun to decline the release of black ops modern warfare 3 black ops 2 as well as the increasing simplicity of creating video content meant that winx had substantially more competition for the videos that he was creating with a dying channel and absolutely no one else to turn to wings would begin to upload variety videos on games such as fallout and final fantasy in a desperate attempt to slow the death of his channel welcome everybody welcome to my fallout 4 playthrough he would also attempt to recapture his old fame by covering call of duty drama and starting a new podcast called the podcast show with other washed up call of duty streamers like white boy 7th street however these would also fail to slow the death of his channel in addition to all of this wings would break up with a girl he'd been dating at the time by the name of brandy which depressed him even further dropping his motivation to lower and lower levels from this wings of redemption would move over to twitch stating that it required less editing and through donations and subscriptions he was able to make more money than he ever could while on youtube and while this was a positive in a strange backwards kind of way this extra income would come to him alongside an equivalent amount of emotional stress and further unexpected problems the lack of editing and live nature of the streams meant that wing's personality was on full display warts and all this meant that if something annoyed him within the game there was no way to simply cut it out as he had on youtube and anyone watching was able to record whatever reaction wings happened to have wings would break controllers complain extensively headache i'm hot my sugar's low some may drink all my pepsis as well as constantly rage as a result channels began to pop up such as sean ranklin xbottle and gulai kingpin all of which devoted to uploading wings of redemption's worst moments this created a meme community around trolling wings where viewers would often recreate his most common actions such as banning subscribers from the chat drinking pepsi and eating wendy's chili done for the sole purpose of getting videos for these specific troll channels because if i talk about anything on everything there's a video made about it and there's 20 000 people laughing at me or there's a podcast with a hundred thousand viewers all of this would lead up to an apex in a stream on one unassuming night in late 2017 at which point wings would do something which many consider to be the most iconic moment in the history of wings of redemption the livestream started like any other however as with many of his streams it wouldn't be long before half the lobby was there purely to stream snipe and annoy jordy jordan ah damn it dude as the night progressed the stream sniping only got worse [Music] then in order to combat the stream snipers his viewers suggested that he appear offline to which jordy responded with look here look here look listen appearing offline does not stop it so stop giving advice you know nothing about possibly paving the way for the breakdown which he was about to have the stream sniping continued and feeling helpless to the circumstances he had found himself in wings of redemption would respond with the following [Music] i don't know what i'll stream again [Music] i really need to make this money i really wanted to get this surgery man i wanted it so bad [Music] i just can't do it i can't take this man all i wanted to do was like i was lonely i wanted to stream and have a good time maybe have a good game [Music] the clip has gained 2.6 million views to this day and just like his last rage the clip would go on to continually haunt him however unlike his last rage where he would have to simply deal with comments this time around his trolls would go to much more effort joining his games in order to play the content through the speaker [Music] [Applause] all right your boy did you invite him while giving more fuel to the growing number of troll channels one of these channels goes by the name of liquid richard who has today uploaded four full-length professionally produced albums all of which being made from the stupid things that wings has said over the years which is especially hilarious as the music is unironically extremely well made and entertaining from the point of his notorious cod world war ii rage the wings of redemption cycle continued over and over again he would do something stupid attempt to prove that he was in the right resulting in even more trolls or he would attempt to improve his life in some way or another fail miserably and be publicly ridiculed by his detractors he would get weight loss surgery in mexico apparently lose a hundred pounds never prove it and still look the exact same two years later he would continue to ban trolls from the chat giving them the exact attention they desired ensuring that they rejoin at a later date on a second account exotic's been banned nine times him giving his free twitch prime to me is not going to stop him from being banned at this point it was as if in every situation it was impossible for wings of redemption to choose a response that wouldn't end in complete and utter catastrophe seemingly consistent with the overwhelming misfortune in jordi jordan's life only two months ago on the 26th of july 2021 his twitch partnership would be revoked for breaking exhibit d of the content guidelines as explained on a wings of redemption youtube live stream titled twitch fallout twitch took my partnership away today for exhibit d jordy then stated that he may leave the internet and get a real job everybody in a chance told me to get a job and you know that's a possibility however if his past has taught us anything the chance of that actually happening is unbelievably low wings continues to stream on youtube however the dislike ratio and a short look at the chat gives us a pretty good idea of how many people are there for no other reason but to continue to troll him i was watching a video created by one of my favorite youtubers the other day xerbia who included a line in his video thoughts from your deathbed which i think runs incredibly true to the tragic tale of wings of redemption the hard road was easy while the easy road was hard wings of redemption has spent his entire life attempting to walk the easy road avoiding anything that would result in short-term adversity however through seeking comfort he's ironically transformed his life into a complete and utter tragedy it's as if you can't really avoid the tragedy of life but the choice we get is whether or not we want to experience the tragedy now by our own voluntary admission or whether we ignore what we need to do and have the tragedy happen to us later down the road as is what happened in the case of wings of redemption [Music]
