About
Who am I?
Welcome! I'm Tim (He/Him), a 48-year-old content creator from 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, with a passion for gaming streams and honest drink reviews.Tim, the content creator
I've always had a strong passion for visual arts, photography, and video creation.
My journey began in my late teens and early twenties through MMORPGs like EverQuest, Asheron's Call 2, and World of Warcraft. I was drawn to the creativity and storytelling in these games and began making short machinima videos using in-game footage, which I shared on my guild's forum.
Around the same time, I led a small demoscene group called
While working as a system administrator, I continued creating videos and tech-related content for my website. I also made short films based on weekend explorations of abandoned buildings with friends.
In 2015, I became a partnered streamer on Twitch under the name
Nosferatuunder the alias
Allodox, contributing as a programmer, musician, and texture artist. I enjoyed being involved in different aspects of the creative process, even when they weren't directly related to video production.

AjiraKimberly, initially streaming The
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I stepped away from live streaming in late 2020 to focus more on video production for YouTube. I eventually returned to YouTube in 2022 and rebooted the channel in 2023, initially focusing on energy drink reviews as a way to develop my skills and explore what kind of content I wanted to create. What started as an experiment gradually became a more serious production project. I later moved my production setup into my home and converted a bedroom into a small studio. My 2020 retirement from live streaming didn't quite stick. In 2025, I was inspired to return to Twitch after discovering the upcoming game Everwind. On October 10th, 2025, I returned under my own name and started fresh, rebuilding my channel from the ground up. After taking another short break in 2026, I returned to streaming in September with a renewed focus and a different selection of games. The common thread throughout all of this has always been the same: I like making things, experimenting with different forms of media, and finding new ways to entertain people.
Stitch, the cat
Stitch was a 19-year-old female European Shorthair and the love of my life.
Her previous owners named her after the Disney character, but gave her up when they moved house in 2017. She was subsequently adopted by her owners' grandparents, but unfortunately she didn't get along with their other cat, so they began looking for a new home for her.
As it happened, the grandfather was a friend and former coworker of my stepfather, and Stitch came up in conversation during a visit. I had previously mentioned to my parents that I was thinking of adopting a kitten, and my mother asked whether I'd consider an older cat instead. I agreed to meet her, and we clicked instantly.
A few days later, on November 11, 2017, I adopted her.
We spent nearly nine wonderful years inseparable. Stitch was a constant and beloved presence on my Twitch streams over the years, becoming a familiar face to many viewers as well as an important part of my own life.
She passed away on August 21, 2026, and is deeply missed.

With just 1.75 by 2.30 meters to work with, my studio setup requires a clever use of space and a compact gear layout. Every piece of equipment has been carefully chosen to save space without sacrificing quality. Aside from the talking-head camera, photo box, key light, and background lights, all equipment is mounted directly to the table using articulating arms and clamp-on stands.

That's right!
I'm a reviewer, not a collector. The cans and packets you see in the background are actually my stock for upcoming energy and gamer drink reviews. The three in the small cube shelf on the right wall are (usually) the next reviews in line, while the larger cupboard on the left holds the rest of my stock.
In general, I review canned and bottled drinks in order of their expiration dates, though a newly released drink might occasionally jump the queue. Gamer drinks are a bit more random, since sample packets from the same brand often share similar expiration dates.
You can check out the full stock and upcoming reviews right here .
Since 2025, I've been giving each energy or gamer drink a tier rating at the end of my reviews, ranging from S (the best) to F (the worst). Flavor is the main factor I focus on, though I also consider nutrition factors, specifically sugar content, to some degree. Price and packaging design aren't part of the ranking.
Here's what each tier means:
- S – Superb: Outstanding in every way; truly exceptional.
- A – Amazing: Excellent performance; minor flaws only.
- B – Balanced: Solid across the board; good but unremarkable.
- C – Could Be Better: Falls short in key areas; not terrible.
- D – Disappointing: Below expectations; rarely impressive.
- E – Extremely Poor: Lacking in most areas; significant issues.
- F – Failure: Fundamentally flawed; avoid at all costs.
I'd be happy to review your product! Just reach out to request my shipping address; But before you do, please keep the following in mind:
For food and drink reviews:
- Sugar content is an important consideration for me. If a product contains more than 5 grams of sugar per 100 ml, I won't be able to do a taste test. However, I'm always open to discovering new products and would be happy to discuss alternative collaboration opportunities.
- At heart, I'm a content creator, not a salesperson. My aim is to produce honest, entertaining, and informative content, not to push sales through scripted or guided reviews. While you're welcome to suggest key features you'd like mentioned, I retain full creative control over how the review is presented. My thoughts, humor, and even the occasional mistake are entirely my own. I don't submit video previews for approval or revision.
- I do not moderate or remove critical comments, as long as they're factually accurate and respectfully expressed.
- If I receive free products or other support from a manufacturer, I will clearly disclose this in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements and YouTube's guidelines. Where applicable, I will also mark the video as containing paid promotion on YouTube.
- While I can't guarantee viewership numbers, I can promise high production quality, honest coverage, and my best effort to reach the right audience.
- You're most welcome to share my videos by linking to or embedding the original upload on YouTube. Re-uploading all or part of a video without my explicit permission is not allowed.
- For canned or bottled drink samples, please include at least two containers per flavor in case one is damaged in transit.
- I won't accept packages that require payment on delivery, including shipping fees, import duties, or COD charges, unless previously agreed upon.
Regarding the Twitch livestreams
I livestream from my living room, but I didn’t want to turn it into a permanent broadcast studio like I did for my YouTube content. Instead, I designed the setup to be as portable as possible. Only two of the lights, the laptop with its second monitor, the foot switch, and the front-facing camera are permanently in place. Everything else can be set up or packed away in just a few minutes.
