On June 4, 2011, TotalBiscuit first announced his SHOUTcraft Invitational, a small invitational tournament, funded out of his own pocket, whose intended purpose is to provided a convenient, lucrative tournament for the professional players, and entertainment for the community. The majority of his time is spent working on video content for his main channel, with StarCraft II being more of a "passion project" as he describes it, rather than a serious form of income. Some time after that, he switched back to Terran.
After the switch he has found renewed pleasure playing the game. TotalBiscuit started playing as Terran, but switched to Zerg after being coached by Sheth on his show, ShoutCraft. One large variety-gaming channel with over a million subscribers, and a smaller StarCraft II channel with over 160,000 subscribers (as of July 2014). His primary form of income is derived from a YouTube partnership where he operates 2 channels. Since the release of StarCraft II, he has become a part-time professional caster, casting various large events such as Assembly and DreamHack.
He reunited with his family on April 28, 2012. The family was separated from late 2008 until April 2012, when TotalBiscuit was finally given a permanent visa to live in the US. However, the couple ran into problems with the American immigration system and TotalBiscuit was sent back to his home country, the United Kingdom. After the wedding, he planned to permanently move to the US, to live with his wife and stepchild. During Blizzcon, he met Genna, whom he later married. In 2005, WoW Radio was invited to Blizzcon in the USA to provide coverage of the event. Here, he hosted a variety of radio shows revolving around the MMORPG, World of Warcraft, which ran for 6 years, until 2010, when he stopped creating content for World of Warcraft and started casting StarCraft II matches. In 2004, TotalBiscuit took his talents from DJ'ing to the world of talk radio, as the owner and operator of WoW Radio. He later went on to manage his university's radio station where he hosted a very popular extreme metal music show. John began his broadcasting career as a DJ at the age of 13, being one of the beta testers for live365, which was one of the first online shoutcast services to become available to the general public.
