THE ULTIMATE
" Beahm joined Sledgehammer Games on March. 16, 2011 — the game development company responsible for multiple Call of Duty titles — as its community manager. "I mean the only thing that really made sense to me, possibly become and community manager."
But even in this new path in his life, it was the Doctor that built his name in the gaming community to bolster his application at Sledgehammer http://emu-forum.com/gaming-on-a-200-macbook/. "My experiences that I've gained in the creation of the Doctor character from a social media perspective, in terms of growing the Twitter and the Facebook and how to grow a YouTube channel, how to read feedback, engage with your fans your audience. And at the same time, to be able to be involved in all of this, and understand video games. It just made sense." After some time as community manager, Beahm was promoted to level designer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, where he participated in the development of seven of the maps in the game. "I designed half the maps for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, multiplayer and also helped create a lot of the high level pillars for the studio." During his time at Sledgehammer guy created a Justin.tv account and tried streaming a few times as the Doc. Now, as you might imagine, when you’ve built a personality as more or less a a second version of yourself like Guy Beahm did with DrDisrespect, it’s kind of a challenge to keep that guy locked away. So, in 2015 Guy Beahm quit his job at Sledgehammer, and unleashed Dr. Disrespect "Hello!" It began with some Youtube warnings about his return. "I'm Dr. DisRespect, and as you know we've been away from the YouTube community for quite a while now but, I'm here to tell you. I'm back, and I ain't messin around." And then on March 21, 2016 — the man we’ve come to know as the Face of Twitch began streaming full-time. "The Doctor's been preparing himself, for his re entrance into the online gaming community." Maybe more than any other streamer, Doc’s popularity skyrocketed with the development of the Battle Royale format. Doc was given early access to H1Z1, the zombie-themed Battle Royale that was the first of the genre to make headway. And it’s here where Doc’s love for BRs began. They were challenging, had enough down-time to support streaming and he could make his signature bad-mouthing a big part of his play-style. (Stream) "Cause I like to remind these little chubby cheek wannabe unathletic pigeon toed sprinting gamers what the two-time's all about." (Stream) While streaming H1Z1, Doc was averaging around 5- to 10 thousand viewers at a time and his stream was growing rapidly. But, if H1Z1 was the surprising-opener of DrDisrespect’s jumping into streaming celebration, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds was the main attraction. It’s hard to understate the impact that PUBG had on the streaming landscape. BRs, and specifically PUBG rewarded streamers with flashy highlights and clippable moments for maximum social media content. And to that extent, PUBG and DrDisrespect couldn’t be a better match. (Stream) During the summer of 2017, Doc’s average viewership reached as high as 30,000. He had acquired his nickname as “the face of Twitch.” and received industry awards for both streamer of the year and gamer of the year. The internet, Twitch, gaming and DrDisrespect were now synonymous. "Let's climb the mountain, let's dominate. Violence, speed, and momentum. And guess what, we're at the tippity top of the mountain. But we're really only half way up." "Let's do it baby. Thank you. Thank you. He dawned a thick moustache and dollar store sunglasses — and people loved it. (Stream) But the one day, Guy Beahm broke character. "As you guys know I have a beautiful family. And a wife and kid. I want to be transparent that I've been unfaithful." His admission was of course devoid of the pompous charisma of the doctor and featured bashfulness far-removed from the usual attitude that people have come to expect from the Twitch channel. "And I'm probably gonna be taking some time away. Time off." So after his short frank admission of guilt. Dr. DisRespect left Twitch.
