Website Bio

L8RG8R2U (Justin R. James) is a 23-year old Let's Player known for his love for video games, random references, spontaneous singing and whatever else he does while recording videos. G8R's love for gaming became what it is today after he was inspired to make videos by Chuggaaconroy and Superskarmory.

G8R has made over thirty Let's Plays on his own channel since its debut in 2012. While he primarly focuses on Nintendo games such as The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon or Pikmin, he doesn't limit his channel to only Nintendo. Such as Tomb Raider, Portal, or more recently Spyro the Dragon. G8R usually has a couple of ongoing projects at the same time, so there's usually something on his channel for everyone. Some LPs he's currently working on include uploading every Splatfest from Splatoon 2, and a 100% guide through The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (which took nearly three years to plan out).

Aside from Let's Plays, G8R also streams under the series G8RStreams, which includes entire playthroughs and a show called Random Number Gaming, where G8R uses an RNG counter to decide what games he'll play throughout the stream. The Gaming Gallery (a series of videos discussing gaming trivia) also originally started on G8R's channel before being moved to G.A.M.E.

G8R met GreenCobrasGaming in 2014 during his Super Mario Galaxy 2 Let's Plays. TheJamesRolls was one of the first Let's Players G8R watched, and the two would later become friends during Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (which is one of the reasons it was the first versus on G.A.M.E). And G8R met Pancake on Miiverse. Many of the first collab videos between the four friends were uploaded on G8R's channel before G.A.M.E was created.

Outside of YouTube, L8RG8R2U is also the published author of Korbet Adventures: Thunder on the Mountain. He's currently writing three more books including Yeti Man: The Beast of Seaport, Korbet Adventures: Lightning in a Bottle, and a currently unannounced third book. G8R has also hinted that he's been working on developing a video game in his own time. More details on this will be revealed at a later time.

Some of my current goals: Reach 400 subscribers, Let's Play every 3D Zelda game, inspire somebody to make videos, visit every DIsney theme park, publish every Buenayam novel and own a giant Mr. Saturn plushie!

"Thank you for watching our videos, and until next time, L8RG8R2U!" - L8RG8R2U (Justin R. James)

Favorite Games: EarthBound, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Tomb Raider: Legend, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Splatoon 2

L8RG8R2U has discussed his interests in writing books in the past, mentioning this a few times in his earlier Let's Plays. In October 2018, he announced on Twitter that he was going to get serious about publishing. Not much has been publicly revealed about the story or characters yet, although L8RG8R2U has hinted towards a supernatural setting.

On July 1st 2019, L8RG8R2U uploaded "What is Korbet Adventures? (L8RG8R2U Wrote a Book!)". In the video, it was revealed that Korbet Adventures: Thunder on the Mountain would focus on a group called BISHOPS who protect two supernatural groups: Electricons, who control lightning; and Omenjurs, who control water. The main characters would be Jacob, Benjer and Skye who'd discover the BISHOPS and their conflict with a powerful Electricon named Orvano.

Korbet Adventures: Thunder on the Mountain launched on July 9th 2019.

Shortly after Thunder on the Mountain's publication, L8RG8R2U teased that he was working on three more books. During "What's Coming to Buenayam" (Book Announcements)", two of these were revealed: A Korbet Adventures sequel called Lightning in a Bottle, and a separate story called Yeti Man: The Beast of Seaport. In this same video, an audiobook version of all of L8RG8R2U's books was confirmed as well.

Details on the third book have yet to be revealed.

Trivia

• The name "L8RG8R2U" is pronounced "Later-Gator-Two-You". During one of MasaeAnela's live streams, she read the username out loud. This reaction was featured in a Best Moments video
• L8RG8R2U's favorite video games are EarthBound, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Tomb Raider: Legend, Xenoblade Chronicles and Splatoon 2
• L8RG8R2U met GreenCobrasGaming during his Super Mario Galaxy 2 Let's Play. He met TheJamesRolls during Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and met Pancakearmorman on Miiverse
• His EarthBound Let's Play took two years of research to plan out; currently the longest time spent working on notes. The final draft ended up at 117 pages. Another major project has been teased on L8RG8R2U's social media that started planning in 2017. As of March 2019, the project is 70% done
• Between every member of G.A.M.E, L8RG8R2U is the only one not to have grown up on Pokémon. He didn't get into the series until he was 18. On the flipside, he's also the only member to have grown up with Tomb Raider (GreenCobrasGaming has played the reboot games, but L8RG8R2U has more experience with the series)
• In 2012, L8RG8R2U started a Let's Play of Super Mario Bros. 3. This is the only Let's Play on the channel to be deleted after an episode was uploaded. This was because he figured there were too many projects going on at the same time (This was during The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Paper Mario and Tomb Raider: Anniversary). A Let's Play of Portal was announced in 2017, but no videos were uploaded before the project was delayed. Super Mario Bros. 3 would go on to appear as a co-op series of G.A.M.E, and Portal eventually happened in 2019
• A running gag on the channel is the "Curse of Episode 11". In most Let's Plays, L8RG8R2U seems to have the most trouble recording, editing and uploading the eleventh episode of a Let's Play. The most recent example of this is Tomb Raider: Underworld
• As revealed in the "Top 5 Spooky Levels" discussion on G.A.M.E, L8RG8R2U once considered a Let's Play of Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. This project was put on hold when he couldn't find anybody willing to record all 12 boards with him and he didn't want to play the game alone. The LP was cancelled completely as a result of a 12 Days of Gaming poll on Twitter; literally nobody voted for the game
• TheJamesRolls' first Let's Play of Limbo was how L8RG8R2U discovered his channel
• A Portal Let's Play was first announced in December 2017, but was delayed due to capture card problems. Ironically, another problem with his capture card nearly caused a delay with Splatoon 2 and Majora's Mask 3D
