Online Persona
He creates videos about classic video games from the NES era to the present. His persona is that of an elder statesman of the video game community who has become proficient in all things video games. Unlike other narrators who show a lot of emotion, whether it be anger, joy, etc., he is often calm and emotionless, though he occasionally throws in a clever, deadpan one-liner when in a certain situation. While far from the most skilled gamer out there, he is one of the most knowledgeable, which more often than not makes up for his lack of skills.

Other Works
One of his most popular works was the Ultimate Mega Man Gauntlet Challenge, where he defeated all the robot masters of Mega Man 1-6 without taking damage. It also gained some infamy when he used the Select Button glitch to defeat Fire Man. All three videos of this challenge currently rank in his top ten most watched videos, with part 1 at #7, part 2 at #10, and part 3 at #9.
He would follow that up with The Ultimate X-Buster Challenge, to lesser popularity.
He has also posted several gameplay videos, which either simply demo some aspects of a game or show off an amazing feat.
He has also directed one music video. It is a tribute to 20 years of Mega Man and uses footage from Mega Mans 1-6.
Currently his most watched video is The Ultimate Gamer Plays Pac-Man, which has amassed over 45,000 hits. This turned out to be quite a surprise since this is a mere demo of the game. Not far behind are The Ultimate Gamer Plays Skate or Die, with almost 37,000 hits, and The Ultimate Gamer Plays Worms Armageddon, with over 28,000 hits.
