Trivia
- Vortrox has garnered over 817,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
- He gained moderator status in-game on 26 July 2021.
- He was in Cheez Doodles commercials twice.[1][2]
- He once made a challenge level for the highly skilled player Zoink to beat, who managed to do so in 30 minutes. It is currently Vortrox's most-viewed video, with over 22 million views.
- He made another three challenge levels for Zoink, Trick and Doggie, where the three players raced to see who could complete all three challenges first.
- He has had unfortunate deaths on Stereo Extremeness at 92% twice and 93%, Bloodbath at 95%, 92% on Phobos, and his worst one being 96% on Artificial Ascent.
- Speaking of which, his repeated fails at 92% on several Extreme Demons (also including Allegiance and Welcome to GD News, excluding the end-screen) caused the 92% percentage to become a widespread meme among his fans. It became an apparent symbol of bad luck. Many of his fans have changed their YouTube usernames to one of the fails at 92% he has achieved, most notably Phobos 92% and Allegiance 92%.
- In his '100 Days of Extreme Demons' challenge that started from 1 August 2024 to 8 November 2024, he has beaten 22 Extreme Demons (including Stereo Extremeness).
- Vortrox has a girlfriend, who has her own YouTube channel called sleepy.toadstool.[3]
- The reason why Technical received the verification rights for Welcome To GD News is due to Technical's roommate knowing Vortrox personally. Vortrox would show up in Technical's apartment to discuss passing the level's verification to him, an offer Technical accepted.[4]
