Yo Videogames is the alternate channel of [[LetsPlay/TheOnlineWarrior Maximilian Christiansen]] (aka "[[https://www.youtube.com/user/Miles923 Maximilian Dood]]") created November 24, 2011, dedicated to playthroughs of video games that aren't of the Fighting variety. Usually accompanied by Dr. Doom's actor for ''WebVideo/AssistMe'' Matthew Simmons (Although there may be more people or just Max on his own), Max goes through various videogames, either by playing them himself or by coaching someone else (usually Simmons). When it comes to livestreaming (which happens on Max's channel on most weekends), Max and Simmons are usually joined by their friends Kenny O'Brian and Steve Springer. In 2017 Max's wife Jessica started a cooking channel dubbed "[[https://www.twitch.tv/jae_benny PB & JaeJae]]", where she's joined by guest chefs like Max's sister Tess or (on Mother's Day) by Max's mother. On August 2nd 2020, Jessica gave birth to her and Max's first child, a daughter named [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Ripley]] Fawn Christiansen.

** Steve and Kenny also have this relationship. While the crew are no strangers to throwing barbs and jokes at each other while discussing games, Steve and Kenny often have it turn into whole arguments while Max and Simmons watch and sometimes add fuel to the fire by pointing out a flaw in either of their reasoning. However, despite all their arguing, they're never really mad at each other and have even used their argumentative relationship to bait Max into a false sense of security when he was an imposter in Among Us

** Main/TheSwearJar: Following the birth of his daughter Ripley, Max decided to curb this tendency by implementing a virtual swear jar where he donates a gift sub for every swear word he utters on stream; considering one stream ended with him having cursed over three hundred times, he decided that he'd ''really'' have to work on it or else risk draining his bank account.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: PlayedForLaughs; when Max and Jessica announced that they were expecting a child, the chatroom cracked jokes that Max would name it "Rollback Netcode Christiansen" or "Maximilian Victor Christiansen II" ([[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 MVC2]]), and Max played along by pretend that he liked the ideas. When they finally announced the baby's name and gender, they did it as a contest, challenging the chatroom to pick the correct name out of a list of candidates including [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]], [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Leon]], and [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Maria]] and challenging the chatroom to guess the real one.

** Max has also said that he's had people claim that he hates women simply because he tends not to use female characters in fighting games. He's explained that he much prefers badass women like [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Baiken]] to the "cute anime waifus" who are far more common in fighters, though he's willing to try out any character if they have a fighting style that appeals to him. A prime example of this came with ''Cross Tag Battle'' where Max played [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Ruby and Yang]], maining the former and trying out the latter but being disappointed by gameplay shortcomings.



** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is Max's all-time favorite video game, so he was understandably moved to tears when Yoshinori Kitase, the director of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'', asked him for a picture and revealed that the development team used his reaction to the reveal trailer as inspiration whenever they were feeling down.

Added DiffLines:

* OneSteveLimit: The reason Matt Simmons is usually referred to by his last name is because the group has another friend named Matthew and that was how they distinguished between the two. Likewise, Max has another friend named Steve (who occasionally shows up on stream and is one of his chat moderators), but he goes by his nickname Bojack.

* BiasSteamroller: Averted. Max openly acknowledges that his tastes and biases influence his opinion of a game, but still tries to give an honest opinion of them. For example, he loves ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' for being full of over-the-top action and incredible setpiece moments, but admits that from a technical standpoint it's basically just a ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' clone with mediocre gameplay sandwiched between tons of QTE moments. On the other hand, rather than saying "This game sucks!" he'll credit it for the parts he likes and explain why it isn't his cup of tea; with ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' he enjoyed the gameplay but couldn't get personally invested in it because he's not a fan of any of the properties involved.

** He's also fond of stylized suits of armor, having been a fan of ''WesternAnimation/KingArthurAndTheKnightsOfJustice'' when he was younger, and ended up doing a rare "Rate the Costumes" video for ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld''. Max has said that if he ever made a fighting game, it would be a weapon-based fighter where everyone wore cool suits of armor, and when the chatroom pointed him in the direction of ''Series/{{GARO}}'' he said it was fairly close to what he had in mind.

** On a more personal level, in Max's reaction to Orchid's reveal for the new ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' he had a list of the two things he wanted out of her trailer: [[MostCommonSuperpower 1) Boobs]], and [[MsFanservice 2) Boobs]]. This can seem pretty surreal to fans of Max's later work, where he tends to roll his eyes at excessive FanService and thinks characters being cool and badass is far more important than their being sexy.

* {{Troll}}: Another RunningGag is Max trying to weed out disruptive people in the chatroom by saying deliberately provocative things about something popular to bait them into responding; ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'' is a recurring target, with Max saying it's not a real fighting game and that people who play it don't shower. This usually includes a moment where Max {{Stage Whisper}}s into the microphone "I'm trying to get rid of the twelve-year-olds, chatroom!"

However, when he's [[SincerityMode being serious]] Max has said that his community is probably the best on all of Twitch, and he enjoys actually getting to read the chat and engage with the viewers, while the audience genuinely appreciates his honest, friendly, and open approach to streaming.
