Decades ago, it was stupid for one to think of making any fortune from playing video games. But Sip has proved that this is totally possible as he is a part of the growing legion of professional gamers. He is best known as a member of The Yogscast, a prominent video game publisher.
His real name is Chris Daniel Lovasz and he was born in Canada on the 5th of June 1980. Sip studied computer programming for two years at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Being a veteran video gamer, Chris is a household name within the gaming community. He owes the popularity he enjoys today to his creativity, talent, and ability to relate with people of different classes.
Before he became famous, Sips did several odd jobs just to make ends meet. He reportedly worked with Canadian Tire before he made it big and became an internet sensation. While he owns about five YouTube channels, he has also created several video games including Towns, Orcs Must Die Don’t Starve, Prison Architect, Dishonored, Skyrim, and Garry’s Mod.

Things to Know About His Wife and Children
Chris has been married to Claudine Lovasz. Claudine, who is a year younger than Chris met him in the late ’90s and they eventually got married not long after. Apart from this, it is hard to tell anything about the woman as she has been very good at evading public scrutiny.
The little information available about his kids is gleaned from some of his podcasts and videos where he mentions them.
Every diligent member of the Yogcast community that follows Sips will know that his son is referred to as Poopfeast420. This code name came from a fan who was a consistent donor during the 2011 Christmas Livestream. In his honor, Sip began referring to his newborn son in subsequent podcasts by the name Poopfeast420. This is not his real name, it’s just a code name for Kurt who was born on the 2nd of December 2011.
Kurt has a sister named Pheobe. In a 2015 video, Sip referred to his daughter as Tobjorn. A tweet of his explained the unusual name. According to him, it was to honor the birth of the child and the launching of Overwatch on the same day.
