Duncan spawned into his first game at the age of 3. After playing Super Mario 64 he's never looked back and his dream job is to play games, share his thoughts and opinions on them and somehow call it "work." Duncan is a PlayStation gamer at heart and his favourite games of all time would have to be Dishonored and Journey. When he's not gaming or making gaming videos for his YouTube channel with his best friend, Duncan plays tennis, sings, acts and lets face it, probably plays more games.
