David Smith
In the vast digital cosmos where heroes clash, monsters rise, and worlds are born from lines of code, one constant remains: Smitty, the editor whose pen sharpens blades, whose insight forges legends, and whose critique can topple empires pixel by pixel. Though many speak his name, few truly know the origins of GameCritix’s enigmatic overseer. Some say he was once a rogue QA tester, forged in the chaos of broken builds and day-one patches. Others whisper he descended from the ancient Archivists — beings who chronicle every game world, every reboot, every forgotten Easter egg. But those closest to him know the truth: Smitty is a guardian of stories, a curator of worlds, and the quiet force ensuring every game earns its place in the digital pantheon.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder + Meetup in Bellabel Park Nintendo Switch...
