Hi there, and welcome to my channel. I'm LAIRDforbes, a gamer, streamer and collector from Central Scotland. My passion for gaming started in the mid 1980s with my Parent's Atari 2600. Since then, I have been obsessed with console gaming, including; Master System, MegaDrive, Gameboy, Atari Lynx, Mega-CD, 32X, SEGA Saturn, N64, GameCube, Xbox, Xbox 360 and culminating with the current XB1. I still love retro gaming, both playing and collecting, and have accumulated a nice little collection of classic games and consoles. I play all genres of games, but favourites are first and third person shooters and RPGs. Gears of War is my all time top game series, but currently I am a little obsessed with Warzone. I am a super friendly guy who thrives on the social aspect of the stream. I love the interaction with my fabulous viewers and chatters! So please feel free to come and check out my channel and hang out with me. Much love!

I primarily play and stream from the Xbox Series X using the Elite Series 2 controller for that added precision in competitive games. I also play, and have the capability to stream; Nintendo Switch, Wii U, Super Nintendo Classic Mini, MegaDrive Classic Mini and Nintendo Entertainment System Classic Mini. I occasionally stream PC games, and may add the capability to stream retro consoles such as SEGA Saturn, N64, MegaDrive, Super Nintendo, to name just a few.
