He got his 1st job at the age of 16 and moved into his apartment at the age of 18.
He used to work in a Subway sandwich store for a year and reached a managerial position.
Terroriser used to bake bread for a whole summer for Sandyford Industrial Estate.
He calls members of his fanbase Terror-Fication Squad or TerrorFam.
Growing up, he wanted to play for his favorite soccer club, Manchester United. He added that if he were realistic, he would have probably worked as the club’s sports physiotherapist.
Terroriser tried to emulate his favorite soccer player, David Beckham, growing up. He tried to copy his fashion style, soccer boots, and haircut in particular.
The death of his father in December 2016 shook his mom thoroughly. They were both retired and relied on a joint old age pension. She also beat thyroid cancer around that time. To help her afford basic things in life, Terroriser set up a GoFundMe fundraiser on December 28, 2017.
He has had a beef with a former collaborator, social media star Mini Ladd starting in April 2019. They started to clash and ultimately decided not to collaborate going forward.
In April 2019, Terroriser released a full song based on just one phrase, “Shave My Balls”. He randomly recorded it on his soundboard during one of his gameplays, but it attracted a lot of attention among his fans.
His Internet latency issues in a video published on December 3, 2015, spawned a running joke that he was “stealing Internet from a nearby McDonald’s“. In reality, he set up a YouTube studio in a shed near his house. During the time they played, a storm hit the area. This caused issues with the wireless Internet connection between his house and his studio.
Terroriser is a talented impersonator. He can do impressions of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Agent Smith from The Matrix, Tom Hardy‘s Bane, Severus Snape from Harry Potter, and Kermit The Frog.
He once joked that if a fan spots him at the airport, he better call him by his real name.
Terroriser broke 2 Xbox One controllers when he played a video game Cuphead.
When he’s in Ireland, he works between 7:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. the next day.
Terroriser doesn’t have a strong Irish accent, even though he is from Dublin. He cited this as one of the reasons that helped him attract an American audience. However, the way he pronounces the number ’33’ always gets a reaction out of his viewers.
