Meet Pat: An obsessive video game player and collector. A writer, reviewer, and self-proclaimed tomfoolery practitioner.

He also happens to be an extreme NES fanatic who makes video reviews of the Nintendo Entertainment System, its games, peripherals, accessories, and quirks. He is here to entertain you with his love of the NES, sometimes at the expense of his own self pride. It's all good clean fun. Ok, mostly clean.

Pat will also school you on the history behind many of these games, while still bringing the high energy, enthusiasm, and strange hair.
He's not angry. He's not irate. He's just Pat the NES Punk!
