About

Classic Gaming Quarterly attempts to offer an alternative to the low-effort, cookie-cutter, "me too" content flooding the gaming genre on YouTube. I don't scream and curse while I play video games, try too hard to be funny, or make weird faces in the thumbnails of my videos. I attempt to make higher-effort, higher-quality, family-friendly content, and hopefully by watching my show you'll learn something new about your favorite video games. This is not my job, so uploads happen infrequently.
