Trevor Martin

Counter Strike: Global Offensive YouTuber Trevor Martin (better known as TmarTn) is filthy rich. However, his fortune may not have been acquired legally. The story goes like this. Trevor Martin and his friends founded a CS:GO site where gamers could gamble on in-game items. They promoted their website by pretending they didn’t own it- they lied to their viewers to get site visits, getting more people to gamble and getting more money for themselves. TmarTn posted videos of him winning upwards of $10k on his website in gambles that he rigged himself. Through these methods, he was able to gain an estimated 10 million dollars from his illegal gambling site. He and his partners were sued last year, but he remains a rich man.

The Voice Behind Geralt of Rivia Had This Humble Profession Before Joining The Witcher

thewitcher32

Believe it or not, Geralt is a professor. Not an Indiana Jones style, gung-ho archaeology professor, but the course leader of acting at the Arts University of Bournemouth in the UK.

The famous voice behind Geralt of Rivia is Doug Cockle, a part-time voice actor, part-time actor, and full time professor with a kick-ass voice. He started his acting career with a few movies and TV shows before landing an audition by chance for the original Witcher. After the Witcher was approved for a sequel, he wasn’t called back. He was a little mad, so he decided to head to the new studio to audition for the role that he had already won a few years before. No surprise, he got it. After the success of the first two, Cockle was a no brainer to play Geralt for The Witcher 3.

As we all know, the Witcher 3 was a smashing success – it beat out huge games like Fallout 4 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for Game of the Year 2015. However, despite how well the game did, Doug Cockle remains a professor by day and a witcher by night – hopefully we’ll get to hear more of his work sometime soon.
