'''John Bain''', better known by his screen name [[Total BiscuitTotalBiscuit]], 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]].

During his time with [[Wow Radio]], [[Total Biscuit]]TotalBiscuit 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]]TotalBiscuit 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 showcastshowcase new games and interviewing triple-A developers alike.
