'''John Bain''', better known by his screen name [[
▲AKA Total [[Discworld|Biscuit]]; [[World of Warcraft|Total Halibut;]] [[DC Universe Online|Dark Halibut]]; [[Awesome McCoolname|John Bain]].
During his time with
▲John Bain, better known by his screen name [[Total Biscuit]], is a British-born creator of [[YouTube]] video reviews and commentary. He does fast-paced ''[[StarCraft II]]'' Multiplayer commentary, first-impression videos of indie games on [[Steam]] and other digital-distribution platforms through a series known as ''WTF is...'', and collaborations with other channels, such as co-op playthroughs of ''[[Magicka]]'' and ''[[Trine]] 2'' with the [[Yogscast]] guys and a ''[[Terraria]]'' series with Jesse Cox of [[Jesse Cox]].
As a bit of Trivia,
▲During his time with [[Wow Radio]], [[Total Biscuit]] hosted a few shows - Dungeon Master (a short-lived non-intensive raid guide), Titan, TB's Show About Videogames and EPIC! - but, in the world of podcasts, he is best known for both his "shock-jock"-inspired persona and ''Blue Plz'', a ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' weekly podcast, ''Cataclysm'' expansion beta (and afterward, published content) playthroughs with commentary, and daily updates of "WoW news and content" through his ''Azeroth Daily'' videos. He discontinued his regular ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' videos as of May 2011 and, although he continued it for a few weeks afterwards, has confirmed that ''Blue Plz'' is "done for good" as well. He has also done 27 videos of an ambitious [[Let's Play]] for ''[[Shining Force III]]'', and had been embarking on a playthrough of ''[[DC Universe Online]]'' after a handful of beta content videos were well-received on his channel.
▲As a bit of Trivia, [[Total Biscuit]] has been said by the [[Yogscast]] to own ''every'' game on [[Steam]] <ref>Not actually true.</ref>. Lewis and friends might be right, considering his "WTF..." series and his [[Steam]] account's [http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/TotalBiscuit worth]. Said amount doesn't account for his non-[[Steam]] purchases on Gamer's Gate and Amazon, either: Regardless of the hyperbole, TB is ''very'' influential as a gamer, often getting contacted by Indie developers to showcast new games and interviewing triple-A developers alike.
On May 24, 2018, he passed away after a long battle with cancer.
▲You can find his [[YouTube]] channel here, [http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalHalibut TotalHalibut], and his Web site [http://www.cynicalbrit.com/ here]. In August of 2011, he created another [[YouTube]] channel, [http://www.youtube.com/user/TotalBiscuit TotalBiscuit], which he will use to host exclusively ''[[StarCraft II]]'' content. He is yet another member of [[The Game Station]].
[[I Thought It Meant|Not to be confused with]] [[The Mean Brit]] <ref>Though, if game developing was the topic of a [[Reality Show]], TB would ''definitely'' be the [[Mean Brit]]</ref>. Or [[Zero Punctuation|a certain OTHER cynical Brit]]. Or [[The Spiffing Brit]].

** Top hats and monocles appear to be high on his agenda.
** While the monocle isn't (yet), TB ''does'' wear a top hat on "official" videos in which his face is shown. The most recent example of this (as of September 2011) would be his coverage of the [[Games Com]] show.
** TB's a big [[Terry Pratchett]] fan, sometimes encouraging people to read the books. The origin of his name? From the book ''[[
