# Hello, I'm Atom Smasher - frequently known as Uncle Atom - and I'm a miniatures hobbyist and wargamer. I love to teach people about the great hobby of miniatures wargaming: the collecting, the building, the painting, and the playing. I strongly believe that building and painting miniatures can be a great stress reliever, and more people (more now than ever) need stress relief.

# Since 2013, I've run a YouTube channel called [Tabletop Minions](http://www.youtube.com/tabletopminions) - a channel about tabletop wargaming and the miniatures hobby, mostly. Every single Friday, I publish videos about how to get in to the hobby, how to stay motivated, tutorials on many different subjects, and my thoughts on the industry. I also do a live show every other Sunday, coincidentally called the Every Other Sunday show, where I answer wargaming-related questions from the chat.
