HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JARED! I know life’s been hectic lately and not slowing down just yet, but hang in there. Your fans have got your back, so take care of yourself. Try to take some time to enjoy your day!

If you guys don’t watch ProJared’s channel, you are really missing out. He’s one of the funniest, most creative YouTubers out there. I’ve had the joy of meeting him in person a few times now at conventions, and despite the fact that I was always kinda terrified, he was/is absolutely kind and genuine. His game reviews are clever and thoughtful, his let’s plays are entertaining and insightful, his Twitch streams are fun and inviting, and his Tumblr… well, it’s a sin bin, but I still love it. Whether he’s telling an anecdote from when he was a kid or tales from the D&D table, his stories always stand out because of how much heart goes into them.

That’s why I give ProJared my final rating of a sentimental video game from my childhood out of 10. No matter how many times I revisit his videos, I know I’ll always find lots of smiles and fond memories.
