Deathcorepickles

Nathan 'Deathcorepickles' Calhoun is is one of The Ultra Eight, a founding member of 'The Ultra Collective,' and the current co-host and co-star of thekid22gamereview.

After becoming friends with thekid on Facebook October 1st, 2014. It wouldn't be until October 22nd, 2015 that he would make his debut on the channel. Despite not having a microphone and only communicating through the ingame chat; this was still the first offering of the duo. It wouldn't be until [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEEpkfdWnZo DeathCorePickles vs thekid_ - Apocalypse Rising Ep. 12] that we finally hear the man himself. This video was also mild inspiration for the short lived series VS, where two members of the channel would compete against each other in various games (mostly Roblox, more specifically Apocalypse Rising.)

He would go on to appear in a majority of videos and livestreams posted on the channel up until mid 2018, where the channels effort began to change, alongside life events taking place allowing for less sleepless nights playing video games.

The Face Reveal
Nate is known for his avatar being a Purple Shy Guy from the Super Mario franchise. With this, the duo had the idea of keeping Nate's actual face hidden to add a sense of interest in revealing what he looked like. Jokingly stating they would only show his face if the channel hit 100,000 subscribers. This unfortunately has yet to happen.

In the video Nathan's Return - Short Short we finally see Nate in person, sporting a look nearly identical to his online counterpart, Shy Guy mask and all. This video was shot during a trip down to Ohio after The Great Processor Rip.

It wouldn't be until CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES PART 1 - LOST FOOTAGE, three years after Nathan's Return that we finally got to see Nathan's actual, uncensored face for the first time on the channel. This was after the channel began to see a decline follow the ending of the Apocalypse Rising series for the foreseeable future back in 2017, and the hype died down around Nate's face being revealed. This was due in part to a Instagram leak, where people were able to see his face regardless. This would also mark the first time that Deathcorepickles, thekid, and Sly were all together in the same room.
