**I'm Matt, but you can call me Metal if you want!** I'm 22 years old, and currently working towards my associate's degree in motion graphics/video editing. I hail from the whimsical land (or barren hellscape, depending on who you ask) of Ohio, USA. As someone who enjoys a wide variety of games, I probably won't stick to a single game for too long. I do, however, pride myself in beating most games that I play in order to see everything it has to offer. So expect to see some full playthroughs as I work my way through my seemingly endless backlog! Of course, single-player experiences are one thing. But I also love getting together with some friends to play some co-op/competitive games! You'll more than likely see some of my friends pop in as guests, and you can look forward to joining in as well! I also work closely with an indie tabletop game company called **Cave of Monsters** (which you can read more about in its respective panel), so I'll definitely be streaming some play sessions from time to time! **Art Credits:** • Profile Image by Melonparfait https://twitter.com/melonparfait?lang=en • Miror B.

• **What does MetalreduX mean?** I don't know, I came up with that shit in middle school, give me a break dude. • **What is HLTB?** I'm glad you asked! HLTB is short for HowLongToBeat. It's a site used for logging game completions and times. Check the link under my socials to see what I've been playing recently! • **What kinds of games do you play?** I like to play a large variety of different genres, so if you also like diversity, you're in the right place! I'm particularly fond of games published by Nintendo, Capcom, and Square-Enix, so expect lots of those! • **Are you open to game requests?** I'm certainly open to suggestions, but there's no guarantee that I'll be up for everything. • **Do you permit backseating?** In most cases, I'd urge you not to, no matter how many L's I'm taking. If I *do* need your help, I'll make it **very clear**. This doesn't mean I'm not open to assistance, just don't tell me the answer outright! • **Who made your graphics?** Me! All that you see here was done utilizing a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, all self-taught.

**I don't stream on specific days, but you can expect 2-3 streams per week!** I'll try to telegraph these times as best as possible on my schedule tab, but plans can always change! To circumvent this, I highly suggest following my Twitter **OR** joining my Discord server for stream notifications and schedule updates! **Here are my current categories:** **•Backlog Days:** I'll pick a game from my extensive backlog and play through it with you guys! **•Variety Days:** I'll be playing specialized/themed games during these streams, like challenge runs, speedruns, races, and marathons! Anything could happen on these days! **•Community Days:** We'll pick a game from my library, and set up some matches with chat (and some of my other friends too)!

**Direct donations are not required nor expected to enjoy the full extent of the stream, but they are highly appreciated!** I may also put out specific donation goals from time to time, in the event that I need to save up for a new piece of tech/hardware. *A PayPal account is required. No exceptions.

**By clicking on the panel image, you'll be able to join my Discord server to hang out with me and other viewers even when I'm not streaming!** It's not the most elaborate server at the moment, but I intend to expand it as my audience grows, so I'd love for you to be a part of it! Got any feedback or suggestions? Come let me know in our dedicated text channel!

I work with a small tabletop game company called **Cave of Monsters Games!** It was founded by **Sam Kusek** and **Tim Batiuk** back in 2017. Our first game, ***Henshin!: A Sentai RPG*** was released during this time as a pay-what-you-want, 12-page booklet. Since then, we've managed to evolve the game into a full 120+ page rulebook, complete with new playbooks, modules, and a spin-off (**Rider Konchū**) after a successful Kickstarter campaign, garnering a little over 5 times of our original goal! We aim to make games that are simple and inviting to pick up and play, while also being accessible to everyone!
