Why the name Master Hellish?
Before Master Hellish I went by many names online. A long time ago when creating my first character on World Of Warcraft I named my undead priest 'Master Hellish'. From then on I have used that name for everything I do online.
Why/How Did You Start YouTube?
I started making an OpenTTD tutorial for my friends could play it at LAN parties. I continued to make videos due to the community that grew around that.
Can You Play/Stream X OR I have an idea or suggestion for you, what's the best way to deliver this?
If you have an idea or suggestion you need to go over to my discord, use the general-forum (https://discord.gg/wQpCbYapsA) posting with a good descriptive title and the "Idea" tag. This allows me to effectively collect ideas together.

Can you play a game with me/us?
Unfortunately, between work and family life, I do not have the time to be able to game with people. I do however put on events where viewers can take part in multiplayer games. Check out viewers games.
Viewers Games Questions
- What are they: Viewers games are events where viewers get the opportunity to play a game with Master Hellish and the community in multiplayer games.
- When is the next game: When there is a new game, they are announced on YouTube, social media & Discord. A stream scheduled on YouTube. And an event scheduled on Discord.
- Can I join the game: To take part you need to be on my Discord 15 minutes before the stream starts. Once it starts we do not take new participants.

Why do you develop your own tools rather that using existing ones?
There are 4 main reasons to this...
• Cost. Sometimes the tools cost or features are behind a paywall.
• Integration. If I use my own tools I can much more closely integrate it with the things I want to. For example Viewer+ and the points system.
• 3rd parties. Having my own tools means not having to reply on 3rd parties. They can change the service, start charging for it or even just stop providing something all together.
• Features. Having my own tools means I get to decide what features it has and how it works.
Why do I have to pay for some things?
I am a content creator. My core focus is to create content which people can enjoy. All the main content which I put out is available for free. Running a content creation business has a lot of costs involved (web hosting, stream services, equipment etc). This is where my Viewer+ program comes in. People who sign up support me and help to cover all these costs and provide a small amount of compensation for my time and effort. As a thank you to these people (who quite frankly keep the free content coming for everyone) I provide a few benefits including some game servers. Short story, you don't have to pay to enjoy my content but if you do decide to support me then you get some bonuses in return.
Do you use AI in your content creation?
I sometimes use AI tools to support idea generation, planning, and script editing — always as part of a hands-on, human-led process. It’s a way to stay creative and efficient while managing everything else that goes into running the channel.
To be clear: The main channel features no AI-generated video or audio, and I have no plans to change that.
I think it’s important to stay thoughtful about how AI tools are developed and used. Not all systems are built the same, and ethical concerns — from sustainability to transparency — are worth taking seriously. If it’s something you care about too, there are some excellent papers and reports out there that dig into the topic in depth.
