Jamey Denham (born: James Wadlington; January 10, 1995), better known online as Fawfulthegreat64, is an American YouTuber who uploads Super Mario and Nintendo-related videos. She started Let's Plays in April 2015 with Super Paper Mario, later played through Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and makes discussion videos & reactions to Nintendo, particularly Mario, content. She came out as a transgender woman in 2020.
Beginning[]
Fawful first started the channel in 2010, uploading poor quality Windows Movie Maker videos that barely made any sense at all. One of these was called "SpongeBob Kart 64" and was her first video to get over a thousand views, though its reception was mostly negative as one of the most-disliked. This was also the time period when she joined the site VGBoxArt under the name Dimentio64 and posted equally bad images created in MS Paint.
Discovering Premiere[]
In high school, Fawful briefly was allowed a MacBook laptop which had the video editing software iMovie. She used this to create videos that were better than before, but still pretty bad. This was also the time period when she was infatuated with memes and YouTube Poops. Before long, she enrolled in a multimedia class and began learning the basics of Adobe Premiere. To this day, Fawfulthegreat64 uses Premiere to edit videos unless it is unavailable to her (such as her video "Dimentio Tribute: When You're Evil")
Let's Plays[]
Fawfulthegreat tried to start a Let's Play career in 2015, playing through Super Paper Mario. Though she has released a couple different LP's, it ultimately never really panned out.
Other websites[]
As stated above, she can be found on VGBoxArt, where she uploads considerably higher-quality boxes than her original submissions (mostly retired). She is also a member of the Super Mario Wiki and occasionally edits and uploads images there. She is an active user on the MarioWiki's forum, MarioBoards, until being banned on April 25, 2015 for arguments regarding Mario Kart 8 DLC. She was unbanned in January 2017. She also posts occasionally on GameFAQs under main account greatdimentio and various alt accounts, including Wittgenstein, kingdimentio, Fawful, -Toaster-, and Air-Conditioner. She is active on Twitter where she posts random tidbits including screenshots & videos of Paper Mario hacking shenanigans, memes and gaming opinions.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 3D[]
In late March 2015, a 3DS remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was leaked by a throwaway YouTube account called "Billy Bob". After it gained quite a bit of publicity, Fawfulthegreat64 released a video in which she confessed to creating the leak. The video quickly gained views, likes, and dislikes and is most likely her fastest video to gain views.
Views on Nintendo and the Mario series[]
Fawfulthegreat is known to have a very strong commitment to her desire for Mario RPG characters to appear in other games in a similar fashion to Goomboss, Baby Peach, and the Star Spirits. Her most-wanted Mario Kart newcomer is Fawful from the Mario & Luigi series, her favorite Mario character who her OC is based on. Dimentio and Antasma are her other wanted characters. She also has a negative view on non-Mario characters like Link, Villager and Isabelle making it into the Mario Kart race before Fawful and the other Mario RPG characters. This is what ultimately got her banned from her favorite forum, Super Mario Boards, for a little over a year.
Personal life[]
She was born January 10, 1995 as James Wadlington, with a legal surname change to Denham at age 11 due to father gaining custody. She lived as a male, raised conservatively, until coming out as trans in January 2020. Due to this, her channel is currently on hiatus as she figures out what changes to make going forward, though she still occasionally uploads content that doesn't require a facecam, including song covers and miscellaneous videos on side channel, Dark Fawfulthegreat64. Her current preferred name is Jamey, but this is subject to change as the transition moves forward.
