When I was a child, I cared about three things more than anything, and they were video games, entertaining people, and the crazy frog song…I was not a smart child. But those first two things defined me as a person, and they still do to this day! My love of games started when I was very young, when I would watch my older brother playing his games on the PS2. I still remember sitting next to him, watching him play GTA San Andreas when I was 8 years old. (For some reason he didn’t want me to actually play the game, but apparently WATCHING him blow up gangsters and burn prostitutes was absolutely fine).

And as I got older, and started to actually play the games myself, I was lucky enough to experience a wide variety of games, such as Fallout, Rachet and Clank, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, and Shadow The Hedgehog…I didn’t say they were all GOOD games. But being exposed to GTA at an almost shockingly young age, I always had a soft spot for Rockstar games, such as Bully, Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne, and similar family friendly fun. I was always so captivated by the funny and interesting characters, the dark yet often satirical worlds, and the gameplay that never failed to entertain and innovate. Plus, these games are undoubtedly the reason why I swear like a fucking sailor.
today i'm creating
These days I play pretty much any game that catches my eye, and review them on my YouTube channel, Jum Jum. From the good, to the bad, to the ugly, I’ll tackle them all, and I’ll do it with a sarcastic smile, a bottle of vodka in one hand, and a loaded gun in the other. Check me out on YouTube and Twitter, if you fancy some shenanigans!
