What’s your earliest video gaming memory?

AUGUST 2026

Aside from filling my uncle’s gold N64 Ocarina of Time cartridge with Play Doh, I have fond memories of my brother and I watching him play through The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess . I was completely enamoured by the story, the world, and the characters. I will die on the hill that Twilight Princess is the best The Legend of Zelda game!

What’s your all-time favourite game or game series?

Pokémon for nostalgic reasons, but NieR: Automata comes in at a very close second place! I love games with beautifully done and immersive atmospheres and soundtracks.

What have you been playing most lately?

4 ASSASSIN’S CREED

What’s the best thing about working in games at JB?

BLACK FLAG RESYNCED

Aside from League of Legends , I’m back on Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix – I love rhythm games!

During my time in games, I especially love chatting to people buying streaming gear about what they’re currently playing, especially when they’re new to streaming! There’s a noticeable shift from hesitation and nerves about getting into streaming to excitement when they begin to open up about what they’re enjoying and are excited about. I think some of my favourite customer interactions have come about as a result of the streaming cabinet. Thank you, Elgato capture cards!

You can only have one games console from any era – what would it be and why?
