It is worth noting that he plays really very well and is a real CS: GO pro, on his channel you can find a lot of videos dedicated to this computer game. According to Marin himself, the game in which he considers himself a real pro is: “Max Payne 3 Online”.
Some of the first games that Marina liked and remembered were Crysis, Hitman: Blood Money, GTA: San Andreas. He is not interested in toys of the strategy genre, arcades or quests, because he hates when the gameplay drives the gamer to certain limits. Because of this, Marmock prefers games with a free storyline and the right to decide where to go, what to do.
How the YouTube channel “Mr. Marmok - secrets of success
Channel "Mr. Marmok" appeared on April 27, 2008 and was originally called "Hitman 46". Marin Mocanu came up with the idea to run his own video blog quite spontaneously. He just played the computer game Far Cry 4, recorded a lot of bugs and interesting moments in it. Then he thought, why not shoot the gameplay, mount the video, leaving all the most interesting, and show it to people. The blog reached its peak of popularity only a little over a year ago, when Marmok began to actively upload videos.
“The channel has existed since 2008, I just didn’t post jokes on games, but kept it like that, for myself. After the release of Far Cry 4 and its passage, I recorded a bunch of jokes and bugs, edited, and posted on YouTube. After that, I had an idea to organize a thematic channel. I still had a nickname “HITMAN 46” then renamed it “Mr. Marmok" and away we go! :)"
Initially, the blogger did not want to call the channel “Mr. Marmok, but simply Marmok. But since it was his personal YouTube page, there were 2 input fields for the first and last name, unlike the YouTube channel, and he had to add Mr. in the first input field, and the prefix Mr. appeared. Russian-speaking gamers from all over the world quickly fell in love with the funny guy, not only for his sharp humor and sarcasm, but also for the unusual voice given to him by nature. In the description of the channel, Marin wrote:
"Hey people! I am Marmok. Here I'm trying to cheer people up with funny cuts of various games, and more! :D".
His idea was quite successful, because the famous video blogger is full of positive and enthusiastic, because he is doing what he loves.
Among the latest popular videos, you can find funny clips from the “Jokes, bugs, fails” section on the following computer games:
- Prey-2017, Battlefield 4, GTA-5, Fallout 3;
- The Forest, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Rise of the tomb Raider;
- Ghost Recon, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Sniper Elite 4;
- Crysis 2, Assassin's Creed 3, Far Cry 2, Half Life 2;
- Watch Dogs 2, Mafia 3, Dishonored, Hitman 6, The Witcher 3, etc.
In just one year, the number of blogger subscribers has grown and as of 21/07/2018 is a little over 6.1 million people. During this time, more than 130 videos were uploaded, which in total received 316 million views. The success of YouYube video blog “Mr. Marmok" lies in the correct choice of the target audience. It is not in vain that Marmok maintains his blog in Russian, according to him, if he shot a video in his native language (Moldovan), then the number of his subscribers would hardly have reached 20. The Russian-speaking audience is much wider, while funny videos are designed for young people and teenagers who pay a lot of attention to computer games and spend most of their time playing them. The gamer is aimed at young people, this can be seen in jokes, design, and manner of speaking. Many of Marmock's fans have loved his cuts so much that they make video reactions to them.
The video blogger admitted that every time after uploading a video he gets very excited, despite his popularity and a small dislike ratio, although he does not deny the fact that the excitement decreases each time. As for the workflow itself, Marin Mocanu says that blogging on YouTube is a real job that takes a lot of time, which is a real job. Shooting one video and playing through the game can take a week, plus editing and creating a cut, lasting 10-15 minutes.
