Hello the internet, Tough Monkey here, also known as Craig Laws a 48 year old gamer, civils estimator and product tester for Amazon.

First introduced to gaming in the early 1980’s with my Spectrum 48k, I’ve been happily playing with myself in dark rooms ever since. Spectrums to PS5 and every major console and PC inbetween. From Horace Goes Skiing to Horizon Zero Dawn I’ve been a gamer.

For several years I've been one of Amazon UK's leading product testers with many of their most viewed and engaged reviews, and as part of the Amazon Vine programme I've tested over a thousand new products. I share many of these, and my own purchases, on YouTube. All of my reviews are entirely independant and unpaid. I’m not an influencer, and I’m not affiliated with anyone.

My YouTube channel is split between Product Reviews, Retro Gaming and Sim Racing guides. Likes and subs are great, but this is simply a YouTube channel to justify growing old with gaming and fiddling with gadgets and tech.

I'm really happy with the McLaren 1000th GP X Sonic the Hedgehog 35th Anniversary print that just fitted in the corner of the sim bunker. I saw it when it got announced, loved it but couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a poster. It bugged me for a good month though, because if you were ever gonna draw a Venn Diagram of all the stuff I like....Sega, Sonic, Retro Gaming, F1, McLaren & spending money on stuff I don't need.....this was it. I still fought it off.....but my awesome wife bought it for my birthday instead. Love ya chick xx
