Career

Joueur du Grenier and Sébastien Rassiat launched Joueur du Grenier in September 2009 during a period of unemployment, inspired by The Angry Video Game Nerd but aiming for a more absurd, less vulgar humor. Their first videos, reviewing Tintin in Tibet and Knights of the Zodiac on NES, gained traction, with their Dragonball review surpassing 1 million views.

The series, where Molas plays the titular “Attic Gamer” in a yellow Hawaiian shirt with green palm trees, focuses on retro games known for poor design or extreme difficulty, blending rants with comedic sketches. By 2012, episodes required 365–370 hours to produce, with costs rising to €10,000 per episode by 2024, and the 11th-anniversary episode, featuring James Rolfe, cost €110,000–€120,000.

In 2012, Molas and Rassiat created Papy Grenier, a spin-off where Molas, as a bearded storyteller, reviews beloved classic games in 5–8-minute parodies. In 2015, they launched Bazar du Grenier, a secondary channel with 1.9 million subscribers, featuring Let’s Plays, movie reviews, and the tabletop RPG series Aventures.

Their 2020 11th-anniversary two-parter, with 1.1 million and 1.6 million views, showcased high production values, involving 25 crew members, four actors, and 100 extras. Molas also streams on Twitch under Joueur_du_Grenier, with over 986,000 followers, playing games like Minecraft and Spider-Man.

As of now, Molas remains a leading figure in French YouTube, with 3.8 million subscribers. Recent projects include a February 2024 casting call for a parodic video on “games for girls” and appearances at events like ZEvent and AuxJeuxStreamers.

His collaborations with YouTubers like Bob Lennon and Karim Debbache, who joined in 2013 but left in 2023, and his 2021 Harry Potter video, which hit 2 million views in five days, underscore his influence. Molas has also published five fan books with Omaké Books (2015–2019) and continues to engage fans through high-production sketches and nostalgic content.
