Alpha Lax

"Hi everybody, so today I will..."

- Alpha Lax's intro translated

Erick Santos Cruz (born 2007-2008), better known online as Alpha Lax, is a Brazilian YouTuber, redditor, Twitch user and Our World Of Pixels player around the age of 13. He's mostly known for being one of the many mods in Gabriel de Oliveira's chat, appearing in Lucasmario Game's series and participating in Cellbit's Movie Challenge. Although his content may be varied, his most known styles are that of reviews, gaming, series and most recently edited commentary.

YouTube career
Before creating his YouTube account, he mainly used Facebook under the name Vennus Erick and played games like Project Gungame, Warmerise and later bonk.io (With his nicknames respectively being Bob O Brasileiro, Rei dos Assassinos and WeaBRoo on each game). He most appeared in brazilian groups related to Five Nights at Freddy's and memes, with him still being a fan of both. The main reason of him even creating his YouTube channel was because he wanted to comment on a video. Since the act is only allowed if you have an account, he asked his uncle to make a channel for him and he quickly did the task, adding the name ERICK VENNUS GGE and a profile picture of him with a rainbow filter. Erick thinks both of the things at the time were "horrible" and is very much glad that he changed them.

Although he made his account in 2015, he would only release his first video 1 year later, that video showcasing a strange glitch he had found in the Ubisoft game Watch Dogs. That would become a very common type of video in his channel, with glitches being shown like Blacklight: Retribution, Paladins and Fortnite. For that time, he wouldn't get very much views and subscribers up until his first series in 2017. The purpose of the minisseries was to participate in famous brazilian youtuber Cellbit's challenge where the viewer was supposed to make a short related to time-traveling and it had to be under 4 minutes. He, however, did a 3-part minisseries instead of a short movie as intended. The video still received attention, with it being his first video to reach over 100 views, which made him continue the series, up until the limit date. He would still continue doing bug videos, but would also start doing minisseries alongsides the previous content.

These videos would start getting more views and then, he decided to bring a whole different content into his mix: Review and rants, with his first review being of the Straight-To-DVD animated 2018 DCEU second movie adaptation of famous comic with same name The Death Of Superman. Although the video has only received 5 views even until this day, he would decide to continue them and later submissions would later gain over 100 total views.

Realizing how much more famous his reviews and series were compared to the PS4 glitch videos, he decided to focus on those more and make the glitch videos more or so filler content. He would also upload other varied content using his camera such as unboxings, sketches, and specials. He would later start doing videos with the mobile screen recorder app named Mobizen showcasing stuff like his Geometry Dash levels and Groovepad songs and even gameplay series such as of Five Nights At Freddy's and Sonic. He would also start doing updates and reviews on Mobizen, using Geometry Dash auto levels as background. He would still makes series and sketches recorded in his phone camera but they would be less frequent and more shorter.

We now reach the recent era, consisting of Kinemaster edited videos and Mobizen and phone camera videos have equally become filler content. He has claimed that from now on his upload rate will become less frequent because of the work it takes to do the videos.
