Hey, I'm Alex! I help grown-up nerds get into Warhammer, LOTR, D&D, Star Wars, and board games - without the overwhelm, the gatekeeping, or needing to spend 100 hours on a wiki first. If you've always loved these worlds but never quite felt like you belonged in them, you're in exactly the right place. New videos every week!

I want to start a new series: NERD CONFESSIONS.
I want your most unhinged, unbelievable or mildly concerning gaming/hobby stories.
Warhammer. D&D. Video games. Conventions. Hobby shops. Whatever.
Something you’ve done. Something you’ve witnessed. Something somebody has said to you. A purchase you absolutely could not justify. A game that ended a friendship. I genuinely don’t care.
Submissions are completely ANONYMOUS, so this is your opportunity to tell me the thing you would NEVER attach your username to.
I’ll pick some of my favourites and react to them.
Confess your nerdy sins below 👇

You’re choosing TWO of my videos next week.
Zero input from me. Zero interference. Mildly terrifying.
Comment what you want me to cover and I’ll pick the two most popular suggestions.
Go wild. No spice.

It’s completely anonymous, so behave accordingly.
I want THREE things from you:
1. Ask me literally any question you want.
2. Tell me something I NEED to watch. Film, TV show, documentary, interview, random YouTube video… anything.
3. Tell me something I should read. Book, comic, article, lore rabbit hole… whatever you think I’d love.
I’m going to go through your answers, so make them interesting 😂

JUDGEMENTAL FAMILY MEMBERS/FRIENDS
Last Christmas someone watched me open a gift and said "oh did you accidentally wrap one of the kids presents for Alex?" in front of the whole family.
Everyone laughed. I didn't.
Because what they were really saying is that caring about this stuff is childish. That you should've grown out of it. That there's something slightly embarrassing about a grown person getting excited about a hobby.
I disagree. The people who say that usually don't have anything they're genuinely passionate about. They've forgotten what it feels like to care about something for the joy of it.
You haven't. And that's worth protecting.

NOSTALGIA SELLS. THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WORTH BUYING.
The hobby industry has worked out that nostalgia sells. The question is whether it's selling you something worth buying.
2026 is full of franchise board games. Star Wars. Lord of the Rings. Marvel. Some of them are genuinely great. Most of them are expensive cardboard with a famous logo on the lid. Yes I said it.
The people I see get the most out of this hobby buy one thing, play it properly, and go from there.
Not the ones with a shelf full of unopened boxes shouting "take my money" and filming content with stuff they don't even open.
So tell me which franchise game would you actually recommend to someone chasing that nostalgia hit? Drop it in the comments.
Subscribe. Let's help each other work out which ones are actually worth our money.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE KING'S GAMBIT
I want to know how you feel about this.
Restoration Games are bringing back Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit, a cult classic that went out of print in 2000, but this time set in the world of Lord of the Rings!!
The game spans four simultaneous battlefronts from The Return of the King, Pelennor Fields, Minas Tirith, Pelargir, and Frodo and Sam's climb into Mordor and they all playing out on the same table at the same time. The deluxe edition has a three dimensional Minas Tirith and Mordor rising above the board. It looks NEXT LEVEL.
Full details here: restorationgames.com/press-release-the-lord-of-the…
Is this something you'd back? Drop a comment - genuinely curious how much interest there is for this one.
Subscribe so you don't miss my full breakdown when it drops.
