Favorite music genres?
I am a huge lover of music and love to listen to almost off kinds of music. Some of my favourites are country, K-pop, Pop, some rock and some rap. The only genres I can't stand to listen to are heavy metal and heavy rock, I feel those are the ones that are more noise than music.

Highest you've spent buying a game?
I am always cautious about how much money I spend on video games and where I can I will always wait for a deal on a video game or even a sale before I jump on a video game. I think the most I have paid for a new video game release was £60 and that was Destiny 2 when it first released. As you can imagine, I was annoyed when they made the game free-to-play some years later. As for in-game purchases, I would have spent the most on Fortnite over the 6 years I have been playing.

What game deserves a movie part?
This is a good question and I feel that many video games could be turned into a movie in some way that would be popular and interesting too. Fortnite is one game I feel they could somehow turn into a movie and due to how popular Fortnite is, I believe the movie would be just as popular, especially if they got the right actors and actresses to play the characters in the movie. A Pokemon movie is also something I feel would be great and would also be popular if done right.

What was the last tv show that you watched?
I don't tend to watch too many television shows nowadays and tend to focus only on shows that I follow and enjoy rather than just watching TV shows for the sake of watching TV shows. If I remember rightly, the last TV show that I watched was a soap we get in the UK called Eastenders quite a few months ago now as I was following one specific storyline from Christmas.

Do you enjoy horror movies?
I have watched horror movies in the past but will admit, they are not my favourite genre to watch. Movies such as Stephen King's IT, The Exorcist, The Conjuring and Insidious are all horror movies I remember watching. I remember after I watched Stephen King's IT, I wouldn't go to the bathroom straight away as I was worried he's be in the drains!

Does RPG games affect the minds of kids negatively?
I feel when video games are blamed for something that happened in the world, it's just an excuse to avoid the fact that the reason something happened was that the government within the country refused to make a difference to prevent such things from happening. I am a firm believer that RPG games do not affect the minds of kids negatively.

Do you play games via social platforms?
Back when you could play games directly on Facebook, I used to play those a lot and loved the games such as Farmville. Now I still play some games on my phone and I do connect my Facebook account to them so that I always have access to my saves and content without losing anything.

What game are you currently playing?
I have been playing a few games just recently when I have had some time to do so, they are Monopoly Go on my phone, Farmville 3 on my phone and also Fortnite on my Xbox as well. I would have loved to play XDefiant and Valorant on my console but I am on the Xbox One X still and they are only available on the Series S and X. I may when I have some time play XDefiant on my laptop at some point.

Do you have a gaming computer
I currently have a gaming laptop at the moment. I can play games on it if I find a game on PC I want to play but would love a higher-end desktop PC when I can to be able to play more games. This laptop is also great for when I create my video game content and live stream.

Why do you like single-player game modes?
It's not too often I play single-player games now with me enjoying playing so much online when I get the chance to play. I used to love playing single-player games years ago, I found that in some games, being able to sit, chill out and just work through a campaign by myself was a great way for me to relax.
-
Are there games you never played twice?
There are many games I have never played twice, I can't remember the names of all of them but usually, they are games that are short and easy to complete or ones that I never really gained any interest in after one playthrough.
-
Have you ever got to beta test a game?
I have had quite a few opportunities to beta-test games in the past. I remember when Fall Guys was getting ready to release, I was able to beta-test that game and I have also beta-tested some Call of Duty games as well in the past. I would have loved to jump in and check out the Valorant beta that is happening right now on the console, unfortunately, it's not available on my console as I have the Xbox One X still at the moment and not the S or X.
-
What are your favorite bands?
As someone who is a huge music lover, I have had many different favourite bands over the years. Back when I was younger, bands such as 5ive, SClub7 and B*Witched were all my favourites. As I have gotten older and found more music to listen to that I like, my favourite bands now are BTS, Nickelback, Lady Antebellum.

Do you thinks Devs care less?
I would say that some developers care about what their players want and do take in the feedback and work off that when they receive it, but there are some developers who don't seem to care about their players much as are more looking to gaining money than their players being happy. Some developers have gotten better at listening to feedback and working off that and I feel we need to see more of that.

Have you played the fastest selling PC game in 2024?
I have heard of Helldivers 2 and I have heard reviews about it but it's not a game I have played myself. If I ever had the time to sit and dedicate to this game, I would very much like to check it out to see what all the hype is about.
-
Do you play all night?
Years ago, I used to start playing on an evening when it was quiet and I would stay playing video games until really late, sometimes even when the sun came up. I don't tend to do that anymore, I don't even think I would be able to unless I really couldn't shut off and stayed up playing games just because of that.
-
What streaming providers do you use?
For my music listening, I tend to use Amazon Music but I have been known to use Spotify with their premium service in the past as well. For movies and TV shows, I have Sky Cinema on Now TV and I recently got a three month trial for Disney+ so we are checking that out.

How important is gaming to mental health?
As someone who struggles with mental health, I have found that gaming helps me so much not only with my mental health but to also just shut off and forget about things for a while. A lot of my issues come from stress, I suffer with anxiety and tend to worry more than I should which in turn ends up causing stress, so gaming does help me a lot.
-
Have you ever made use of cheat codes?
When I was younger, I do remember using cheat codes in certain games, Resident Evil seems to be the one that I remember quite well that I played and used cheat codes on. I can't say I have used any cheat codes on games in a very long time.
-
What is your best racing game?
I have played a lot of racing games in my time playing games, some of which I haven't found to be as fun as I thought and others that I have enjoyed and played for a long time. At the moment, I would say my favourite racing games are Fortnite Rocket Racing Forza Horizon 5

Binge watching
I wouldn't say that I binge-watch TV shows or movies too often but one TV show that I have binge-watched in the past has been Chicago Fire. With me being so busy over the last year or so, I have fallen behind with the last two seasons and need to find some time to be able to binge-watch what I have missed before the new season later this year.

Where are you from?
I was born in England, UK and still live in England, UK. I still live in the same place I was born but I have moved to different houses over the years before staying in the house I am living in currently.
-
Do You Always Check Weather Report?
I work from home and only ever leave the house if I need to. I always check the weather report though as I do like to know what is going on with the weather and whether or not it's wise for me to try and dry clothes outside or not or when to expect rain if I have washing outside drying.
-
What is your education?
I completed school and took all of my end-of-school exams which are GCSE exams and I went to college for a year and took level 2 childcare and education. Unfortunately, due to how life went and how my life if, working in childcare is not something I would be able to manage now which is why I chose another career path.

Quora and Reddit
I have used both Reddit and Quora. Reddit I have used to write and create discussions and Quora I have only ever used to find answers to questions I am looking for when doing a Google search. I have just taken a closer look at Quora and will admit, it does look interesting so going to take a better look later!
