Content creator. He’s been a die-hard gaming enthusiast for as long as he can remember, and that passion ultimately led him to launch his very own YouTube channel, PotatoMcWhiskey. Right from the start, his goal was simple—share engaging gameplay footage and honest reviews of popular titles like Civilization IV: Colonization and Dune. Over time, PotatoMcWhiskey began to build a loyal following, drawing in more than 500,000 gamers who love his style and insight. Today, his content has amassed over 206 million views, a testament to his dedication and growing influence in the gaming community.
Before all the success, though, it all started with a single step. He joined YouTube back in October 2011, but it wasn’t until March 2014 that he officially debuted with his first video titled “Free Game Spotlight: Wayward 1.7.” That moment marked the beginning of what would become a thriving online presence. Hailing from Ireland, he’s proud of his roots and often lets that subtle charm shine through in his videos. And as PotatoMcWhiskey continues to grow, one thing remains clear—he’s not just creating content, he’s building a legacy, one game at a time.
Among his most popular channel uploads are standout videos like “How to Analyze Start Locations in Civ 6 Rise and Fall a Guide to your Settling Strategy” and “7 Tips in Civ 6 That No One Talks About,” which have together captured the attention of millions. His content continues to resonate with fans, as these two videos alone have racked up over 2.3 million views and 1.9 million views respectively. It’s clear that his deep understanding of strategy games, especially in the Civilization series, plays a big role in why his audience keeps coming back for more. His ability to break down complex mechanics into digestible insights is one of the reasons his channel has grown so much. And when you look at the numbers, it’s easy to see how his influence has expanded—his name becoming synonymous with high-quality Civ 6 content.
