Brenden Hampton (He/Him)
Co-Host of 3v0 Podcast
I can remember playing video games ever since I was old enough to hold a controller. My love for games started when I started playing LoZ:Ocarina of Time at about 6. I played that game for an annoying amount of years before I actually beat it (screw you Lord Jabu-Jabu) but I was hooked as soon as I started. Now there isn’t a Zelda, Pokémon, or Mario title I haven’t played. I have also played a great number of Xbox and PlayStation titles, so I would call taste in games Casual Eclectic™️. I believe in video games as an art form and I really value sharing my passion for video games with others. I’m really excited to get the show on it’s feet!
Favorite Color: Green
Favorite Book: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Favorite Movie: As Above So Below
All-Time Favorite Video Game: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Favorite Genre of Video Game: RPG’s!
Nintendo, XBox, or PlayStation: Nintendo all the way!
What do you love about 3v0? I love that I get to spend time with some of my best friends creating a space that is open to everyone to share their love of video games.
