GAMING OBSESSIONS
Eddie “Lord Skinless” is a self-proclaimed digital archaeologist, digging through the pixelated remains of lost and forgotten games from the golden age of cartridges and corrupted memory cards. From obscure Japanese PS1 horror titles to North American SNES shovelware, Eddie has a soft spot for the worst of the worst. He believes every game, no matter how broken, has a story worth telling — even if he has to scream it into the void himself.
He owns over 1,300 retro games, stored in what he refers to as “The Vault”, a room in his house with walls made entirely of game cartridges, half of which are labeled with Sharpie due to “label disintegration incidents.” He once traded a mint copy of EarthBound for a broken Tamagotchi, claiming “it whispered secrets to him.”
THEY TOOK MY SKIN
The channel is part horror anthology, part surreal comedy, and part nostalgia-fueled fever dream. Every video is written, narrated, and edited by Eddie himself, who plays all the characters using a series of low-budget masks, sock puppets, and distorted webcam filters. His writing style blends creepypasta absurdism with a deep emotional core — often unexpectedly heartbreaking between jokes about haunted Game Boys and eldritch memory card corruption.
Eddie has famously stated that They Took My Skin is “not a channel — it’s a cry for help trapped in a CRT TV.”
ODD HABITS & UNSETTLING TRUTHS
- Booger Warfare: When angered (which is often), Eddie flicks his boogers at unsuspecting people. Friends, coworkers, fans — no one is safe. He calls it “disgust-based retribution.”
- Middle Name Misery: Eddie’s legal middle name is Coward, a generational curse stemming from his great-great-grandfather’s refusal to fight in the Potato War of 1869. Eddie has tried to legally change it to “Courage,” but the paperwork was too scary.
- The Scent of Skinlessness: Friends, foes, and grocery store clerks have all commented on his distinct aroma: a mix of raw fish, crushed garlic, and despair. Hence, the nickname “Wario”, which Eddie accepts with pride.
- Lives with a ferret named “Mr. Skins”, who may or may not be immortal.
- Refuses to use modern controllers. He mods every system to accept only original NES pads, even for Elden Ring.
- Sleeps inside a giant empty arcade cabinet, which he claims gives him “the dreams of kings.”
- Drinks nothing but expired Mountain Dew flavors, some of which are believed to be discontinued for health reasons.
- Has a recurring nightmare where a PS2 memory card is screaming at him in French.
- Hosted a local AM radio show in 2007 called “Skin Deep Gaming” that was canceled after only two episodes due to a mysterious FCC letter.
THE LEGEND CONTINUES
Eddie “Lord Skinless” may smell like a seafood dumpster and attack with nostril ammunition, but his dedication to gaming, storytelling, and creative chaos is unmatched. With every bizarre upload, he invites his viewers to peel back the digital layers of reality and face the horrifying truths beneath — all while laughing, crying, and maybe gagging a little.
When asked what They Took My Skin is truly about, Eddie simply replied:
“It’s about what happens when the save file of your soul becomes corrupted.”
