Heisanevilgenius' hails from the Greater Toronto Area and calls himself an extremely outside-the-box sort of guy and I'm constantly coming up with strange ideas.

TGWTG
After writing funny reviews for years, he came across some really bizarre Japanese arcade games and it occurred to him that everyone's reviewing games based on how good or bad they are and nobody's mentioning how weird some of them are. He then decided this was going to be his niche. He started writing reviews of weird video games for his website. In 2008, he finally decided that with the popularity of YouTube and other similar sites that people were more interested in watching a video than reading a block of text. That and it would be easier to actually show people how strange this stuff is than with a bunch of still images. Around that time, he also came to discover The Nostalgia Critic through his feud with The Nerd and after he found his forums, he decided to start posting his videos there.

Eventually, when he felt his videos were good enough, he contacted Rob Walker and sent him a link. He told him he had one of the best shows he'd seen that month out of 60+ submissions and compared him to Michael Nelson, which is an amazing compliment. :) While awaiting for his decision, he kept making more videos. Finally he said that he could join up as soon as Blistered Thumbs went live.
