In 2010, after being "let go" from his job, and finding himself with a lot of free time and some saved up money, Jesse upgraded his computer and equipment, and started working on his hobby as a YouTuber. This has taken a secondary place, since he now works full time on YouTube. He pursued a voice acting career, participating in various World of Warcraft machinima projects and providing the voice for the alternate skin "Spriticus" of the hero Nymphora in Heroes of Newerth. With those titles, he started a career as an educator, teaching low-income youth, a job which solidified his personality and gave him skills in discourse and entertainment. Having studied at the State University of New York (S.U.N.Y) at Buffalo in New York state, Jesse has a bachelor's degree in Theater, and a Master's degree in History, which explains his knowledge of American and universal history, along with certain geographical knowledge (Jesse has said that, if there's a country on the map that he cannot find, it's because it has changed its name since he learned of it). It is unknown if this was intentional, due to the FAQ page still containing some information of the original name as if the more recent viewers knew about it. The channel is no longer called OMFGCata, having changed its name to simply "Jesse Cox". Since its disappearance, and Jesse's change of content, the name then became "One Moderately Funny Gamer constantly annoying the audience", to better fit the channel's content. It actually stood for "Original Media for Gamers" an organization for which Jesse worked for a time. Usually, the belief is that it stands for "Oh My F**king God cata". However the name itself has changed its meaning as time has passed. Along with the Yogscast and Totalbiscuit, Jesse was one of the main providers of beta coverage, which earned him his initial subscribers, and got him in contact with the mentioned youtubers. His channel's name derives from the very first piece of content to which it was dedicated, which was the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm beta. This leads him to occasionally being regarded as a man-child, but his knowledge of the game's industry, real life issues and topics, and pop culture is well known among his peers, fans and viewers. As a comedian, his main tools are usually referential jokes, innuendos, multiple voices (coming from an amateur training as a voice actor) and controversial comments.
