About LeigerGaming
Leiger is a family-friendly YouTube content creator from Australia creating videos primarily for Minecraft.
Minecraft is a sandbox adventure game developed by Swedish company Mojang, and owned by Microsoft. Minecraft is present on almost every consumer device that is capable of playing video games, and has a virtual army of content creators (or 'Minecrafters') on various social platforms creating video content about the game.
LeigerGaming is primarily a Minecraft YouTuber, but he also streams gameplay on Twitch and talks about the game regularly over on Twitter.
Frequently Asked Questions
I live in South Australia, Australia.
I'm a software engineer / web developer. It's also my hobby, so in my free time I work on other projects, and this website is one of them!
Laptop: MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2018 model, but have switched more recently to an Asus TUF DASH F15
Monitor: Acer CB281HK 4K Monitor as a second screen
Microphone: Only sold in Australia, I bought the microphone from a local electronics store named JB Hi-Fi.
Headphones: For listening I use the amazing Sony WH-1000XM3 noise-cancelling headphones from Sony. They're the best I've ever owned! I use them daily - gaming, podcasts, phone calls, etc.
Keyboard: Logitech K120 (cheap, nice and quiet) or Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth :)
YouTube: I would highly, highly, highly recommend the following two tools for any YouTube creator: TubeBuddy and VidIQ. Both provide browser extensions for all major browsers and provide added functionality on top of what YouTube themselves offer. Send me a Discord DM if you need help with using them!
Streaming: OBS Project (Open Broadcaster Software)
Video Editing: ScreenFlow and Premiere Pro
Thumbnails: Sketch app (vector drawing app) and Photoshop
Oh, and I sometimes play this tiny little niche game. :)
I get all of my royalty-free music for Minecraft YouTube videos and Twitch streaming from Epidemic Sound.
The main thing I love about it is no longer having to remember to add attribution into my video descriptions. Even something like the YouTube media library requires you to attribute for some music, so it's a relief not needing to check for that every time.
What's awesome is that they offer a 30 day free trial - so you can use it without paying, as long as you link up your channel to their website and release the videos within the trial period. If you don't like it, you can cancel.
I started by using Epidemic Sound for parts of my Best Village Defence Against Pillager Raids video back in May 2020, and I've continued using it ever since! I love it.
After watching a video, if you want to know what music I used just post a comment and ask, along with giving the timestamp. I'll reply back with the song name :)
About a decade ago, on 9th March 2011. My first Minecraft video was uploaded the next day (on 10th March 2011), playing Minecraft Beta 1.3_01 on a dodgy laptop! The video quality was horrible :)
It wasn't until late 2019 that I started to consider taking this YouTube thing seriously. I did a few tests in October, and then from February 2020 I decided to focus on uploading videos weekly (on average).
A year and a half later, in mid-2021, I'd released over 100 videos on the channel and learned a lot. I'm not planning to stop any time soon! (I'm having too much fun! :P)
At the time of writing, it's definitely my video explaining How To Make a Potion of Invisibility.
In preparation for the Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update, I also created a video explaining Everything we know about the Axolotl in Minecraft 1.17, and that one was also extremely popular.
