Olivia Falk
Olivia’s gaming career started with a Game Boy Advance from eBay and a copy of Pokémon Red (the original). From there, her life (and her wallet) were never the same again. After starting university, she decided to start a YouTube channel for gaming. However, she quickly discovered that while she enjoyed discussing games, she sucked at talking about them. Writing about them instead seemed like the logical next step. She hates being asked what her favourite game genres are, because she never has an answer that doesn’t go on for an hour. Despite this, she is willing to admit that she’s awful at RTSs, and has made it a personal goal to someday find one that doesn’t consistently see her entire base overrun and destroyed within seconds.
