Scott began gaming in 1981. Only six years old at the time, his lifelong love for gaming began when he slid a quarter into a Pac-Man machine at a laundromat in Garland, TX.

In 1990, he competed in the first stop of the Nintendo World Championships in Dallas, narrowly missing the finals. He would go on to win several city and regional championships on game titles such as Primal Rage and Donkey Kong Country through the rest of the decade.
Following a run as a pro wrestler, Patterson turned back to gaming in 2005 and aimed to contribute in a variety of ways to gaming culture and community.
