For instance, I keep him informed on new games releases, explain to him how to determine if a game is worth renting or buying, and share with him my philosophy on why we shouldn’t buy consoles on release date.

Here's Francis, proving that in addition to fury, he can also make videos of a more helpful nature. In this case, a handy instructable on how to build your own Nintendo 2DS.
