DoubleDubbel

DoubleDubbel, formerly known as luigiman2201 and commonly referred to as Double or Luigi, is the owner of the DoubleDubbel Discord server.

Where it all began
Back in 2009, he was playing Kirby: Squeak Squad on Nintendo DS. He wanted to 100% it, but couldn't do it by himself, so he looked up an online walkthrough. However, due to his limited understanding of English at the time, he couldn't quite figure it out. He then decided to look for video walkthroughs, and after finding them, proceeded to 100% Kirby: Squeak Squad. He then started to watch more walkthrough videos. As he watched more, he started to grow tired of them, as since it was a walkthrough, you knew ahead of time it would be perfect play. He wondered if there were videos that didn't focus on showing how to do things, but rather showed the game being played like you would at home. This is how he found playthrough videos. Then he wondered if there were videos that included the player talking while playing. However, at this time (2011), this type of video was not as commonplace as it is nowadays. Then, in March of 2012, he found a channel called TheRunawayGuys, who were playing Mario Party 2. He greatly enjoyed TRG's content and has been watching them ever since.

Discord
Over the course of 2016, A social platform very similar to Skype called Discord very quickly rose to popularity, becoming a better alternative to Skype. Luigiman took notice of this and made his account on February 6, 2016. A day later, he would create this server, but never really payed attention to it, focusing on the other servers he was in instead. It wasn't until October of 2017 that he really started to work on his server and make a proper community of it. On July 9, 2017, he rebranded, officially changing his name to DoubleDubbel.
