Before Myers started FPSRussia, he ran a channel named "klm5986". He also had a YouTube channel called "FPSKyleletsplays" under the name FPSKyle. His YouTube channel often featured videos from other YouTube personalities, such as xSocrates. He later wanted to show how guns worked in real life and to compare them to how they are portrayed in video games, films and television shows.[7] He got the idea for a Russian accent while working at a car dealership. One of his co-workers was Russian and he took interest in impersonating his accent. His uncle was also a prankster and used to use the accent while talking to Kyle while he was five years of age. He used the accent to create the character Dimitri and what followed was him filming himself shooting guns on his family farm in Georgia. But ultimately, the idea for FPSRussia originated from a prank on his co-founded podcast, Painkiller Already. Myers also runs a third channel known as FPSRussiaTV.[8] After a nine-month hiatus, on January 10, 2014, FPSRussia returned to YouTube.[9]
