Career and Professional Life
VintageBeef was previously a used-car photographer and has also worked as a butcher. Later he started his YouTube channel with a single-player hardcore Let’s Play of Minecraft. He had been a longtime fan of Guude. Upon the announcement of the second contest for entry into the Mindcrack server, he submitted a video showing off a museum of various Mindcrack references and builds. This was his second attempt and on the tenth of May 2011, Daniel began his Let’s Play on Mindcrack. And, around this time, he even started a play-through of the game LIMBO and his original Minecraft Let’s Play ended, stopping at thirty-four episodes.
Daniel was initiated into the Mindcrack Prank Wars by Davmandave and Kennedyzak. It was the time when they built an assortment of noise machines under his house. And, since then, he has actively set up pranks against other players and retaliated against ones set up for him.
Likewise, Team Canada was formed through the Prank Wars, when he and Etho helped PauseUnpause set up a prank for Guude. The three have done various collaborations, including Minecraft CTMs, Don’t Starve, and ARK Survival Evolved as well. For a time, the only videos Daniel posted on his channel were episodes of his Let’s Play on the Mindcrack server, which began its second season (third for Guude) after the 1.8 maps reset.\
More About Career…
He then started one of his largest builds in Minecraft soon after, a replica of Hunyad Castle, a nearly six-hundred-year-old castle in Hunedoara, Romania. He began another hardcore Minecraft Let’s Play, which ended shortly after the thirteenth episode, and also began a play-through of Skyrim. Moreover, after the completion of Vinyl Fantasy, a complete-the-monument map done with PauseUnpause, Daniel participated in the first Ultra Hardcore.
Likewise, commonly abbreviated as UHC, the first featured himself, Guude, PauseUnpause, and W92Baj, which would eventually form Team Nancy Drew. The four have done a variety of collaborations, such as Shoot Many Robots, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, and various Minecraft adventure maps as well. And, after the first UHC, Daniel soon started a play-through of Left 4 Dead 2 with PauseUnpause, W92Baj, and Millbee.
With PauseUnpause in particular, he played Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Conviction, and several Minecraft adventure maps, the latest being From Ashes. In addition to these games, he has also played Journey and Rayman Origins; later, he plays Bastion, Sleeping Dogs (and its DLCs), and Red Dead Redemption.
Games and Politics…
Moreover, around early November 2012, Guude decided to start a new Mindcrack server specifically for Feed the Beast: Mindcrack mod pack. And, he was also present for the unveiling, along with the rest of Team Nancy Drew. Likewise, he planned to build a cannery for zombie flesh, but after a map reset (and the subsequent start of a new season). He then decided instead to build a zoo that was planned to eventually house animals and mobs that Feed the Beast introduced, he eventually went back to the cannery as a side project.
Furthermore, on the new vanilla Mindcrack server, Daniel has decided to build a gargantuan sea fortress 1500 blocks away from spawn, the “lily pad” (as he has nicknamed it) is going to be split into several sections (one for Beef’s tree farm, one for animals, etc). And, it has also been hinted at that the “lily pad” may have other “pads” sprouting from it for other purposes.
And, apart from first-person shooters, survival, and action-adventure video games, Daniel has also played racing games such as Forza Horizon F1 2012, which he played with Kurtjmac, and lately Grid 2. Also, in addition to his currently ongoing Minecraft series, he has recently played (and finished) Fable 3, and Guacamelee!
Furthermore, although he is a fan of “The Apprentice”, he says he would not support Donald Trump in his 2016 presidential campaign. , he also says Bernie Sanders is the candidate he associates with most.
