Editing Jared (section)

==Career==
===ScrewAttack===
Jared was originally hired to run GameAttack, and when it closed down he worked for ScrewAttack itself. When first hired, he worked at GameAttack, and produced a show called 'Nametags', which he wrote, edited and acted in. Jared played himself in the series, working as a struggling assistant store manager for a retail chain video game store. The series lasted 10 episodes and is considered to be Jared's first big break online.
After Nametags, Jared became the host of several ScrewAttack shows including Hard News, Sidescrollers and Reboot or Retro. He also produced and starred in Newsroom. Jared's work with ScrewAttack included working on the shows Nametags, Newsroom, Screwin' Around (Terrible Thursday), Mario Party After Dark, Reboot or Retro, Hard News, Sidescrollers, Clip of the Week, Reviews, and The Best Ever. Jared was a self-taught editor and at ScrewAttack and did a lot of voice over work. He also had host roles in Sidescrollers, Hard News and Reboot or Retro.

Jared had one of the most quirky personalities at ScrewAttack. He developed a sort of catchphrase at the end of each Hard News episode where he would flick a pen that he was holding. It became surprisingly popular to the point that other ScrewAttack members did a pen flick whenever they hosted the show. Terrible Thursday was a popular Screwin' Around spin-off that Jared made, and Jared played up his reactions to many terrible games for the entertainment of the fans, among the most popular being Predator for the NES. Jared left ScrewAttack when he was fired in 2012, where he pursued his increasingly popular YouTube career.

Jared began his career on YouTube in 2010 with his Two Worlds review video, which was an immediate hit and established his review style. He ached further success with his Hydelide series of videos. He soon became popular for his reviews and occasional Top Tens. His shows include JaredReview, One Minute Review, Full Review, Now in the 90s, and D&December. Besides those main shows, Jared does several other kind of videos, such as short skits, guides, and self-imposed challenge Let's Plays. Jared has also done several improv videos, and has shown several videos of his group performing.

Jared is known for his One Minute reviews of current titles, his more detailed reviews for games he thinks that deserves one, and the less serious JaredReviews, often of retro games he played as a child, such as his successful Hydelide video that inspired two follow-up videos. In addition, he does occasional Top Tens, such as the Top Ten Bees in video games, and has done four Nuzlocke challenges so far. ''Now in the 90s'' was later spun-off into a separate channel in 2022 and retired in 2024 for financial reasons, the shows ''One Minute Reviews'' and ''Extended Thoughts'' were retired by Jared in 2014, and Jared stopped doing the ''D&December'' series after 2019 due to being burned out with making Dungeons & Dragons content and finding the fanbase too toxic for him.

Aside from his main channel, Jared has three other YouTube channels. His Let's Play channel, Jared Plays, is where he plays various games and uploads his Nuzlocke challenges, and Jared VOD features archives of his Twitch livestreams. He also had another channel, Now in the 90s, where he looked at the video game releases that happened each week 30 years ago. In April 2024, Jared announced the conclusion of the series ''Now in the 90s'' due to it being no longer financially viable to keep the show going. In 2014, he was picked up by NormalBoots but resigned from the company in 2019, and has since become an independent content creator.

==== Shows ====

*''[http://projared.fandom.com/wiki/ProReview JaredReview]'', Jared's main show on his channel. On this show, Jared gives a review about usually an NES or SNES game. After his review, he gives a "score" out of ten, but the score isn't a number, rather an object or analogy related to the game. When Jared joined Normal Boots, his Jared reviews were the only videos uploaded there. This show has become famous for Jared's hatred of the Hydlide series, as well as beginning several recurring jokes that have made their way into other videos, such as the "Beeeeeees" joke from the Hydlide videos.
*''[http://projared.fandom.com/wiki/One_Minute_Review One Minute Reviews]'', a retired series where Jared did a review in one minute and gave a score at the end. On occasion, he would also do a full review as well as a One Minute Review if he didn't have enough time. Jared eventually stopped doing One Minute Reviews. The last episode, 'One Minute Review -The Legend of Korra', was uploaded on December 9, 2014. Jared, on May 17, 2016, admitted on Twitter that: "I'll never do one minute reviews again. The YouTube algorithm makes them a TERRIBLE idea now. It'd honestly destroy my channel."
*''[http://projared.fandom.com/wiki/Extended_Thoughts Extended Thoughts],'' a retired spin-off series to ''One Minute Reviews''. Sometimes, when Jared did a One Minute Review, he ran out of time to give all the information he needs to (or the One Minute Review was a gag). In these cases, he made a much longer discussion about his opinions on the game. They differed from standard reviews, as they weren't scripted - Jared just had a few dot-points written down.
*''[http://projared.fandom.com/wiki/D&December D&December]'', a retired series where Jared devotes the entire month of December to Dungeons & Dragons videos. This series included regular JaredReviews, some gameplay videos, and tales from Jared's experiences. Jared has mentioned on his streams a few times that he’s not only burned out with making Dungeons & Dragons content, but the fan base has become too toxic for him, hence why he stopped doing ''D&December''.
*''[http://projared.fandom.com/wiki/Full_Reviews Full Reviews],'' where Jared sometimes makes a normal review for a game. Unlike One Minute Reviews, they are not under a strict time limit. These are sometimes combined with an Extended Thoughts video for longer reviews. It is unrelated to a JaredReview, as those are scripted skits, usually older games, and with a higher production value.
*''[http://projared.fandom.com/wiki/Now_in_the_90s Now in the 90s]'', a retired series and later spin-off channel where Jared takes a look at the video game releases that happened each week 30 years ago. It started being uploaded to the Jared channel before moving over to a new channel called Now in the 90s in November 2022, after Episode 33 in April 2022. The series went over how each game that released that week plays, what Jared thinks of the game, how much it cost then and now, and what reviewers think of the game. There's also some miscellaneous trivia and some history surrounding the game, including the developers, development cycle, and commercials. In April 2024, Jared announced the conclusion of the series due to it being no longer financially viable to keep the show going. Every Friday, Jared discussed three relevant games released that week, giving a historical overview of each along with contemporary ratings from gaming magazines and sales figures, usually stating his own opinion as well. Editor Dylan then gave a quick rundown of the rest of the titles released that week in the Rapid-Fire Releases segment, finishing up with Jared comparing the price of each game he reviewed at launch to the average selling price of a used copy today.

===Twitch Streaming career===
Jared regularly streams on Twitch, and has 133k followers on Twitch as of 2024. He has a Twitch VODs channel on YouTube called Jared VODs, where he uploads archives of all of his Twitch streams to make it easier for people to watch old VODs or catch up on old streams. He favors RPGs, especially anything Final Fantasy and retro games. He also loves to play ''Magic The Gathering''.

A former friend of Jirard Khalil, Jared appeared in several episodes of The Completionist. He first showed up in Episode 78, Illusion of Gaia, after Jirard burned the Heart of Darkness game, telling him that he should keep on reviewing games, even if it gets tough. He also appeared as a cameo in Episode 100 in which he is playing his Gameboy rather than helping Alex and Jimmy free Jirard and Greg. Jared later guest starred alongside PeanutButterGamer in Episode 148, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, helping Jirard complete the game through the game's multiplayer. Amid the controversy surrounding Jared in May 2019, all videos featuring Jared were delisted from The Completionist channel after Jirard released a statement disapproving of Jared's alleged actions, but he later restored the videos featuring Jared for public viewing. 

Following the start of Jirard's charity fraud controversy in November 2023, Jared became embroiled in the controversy by posting a tweet attempting to defend Jirard. His tweet accused [[Karl Jobst]] and [[SomeOrdinaryGamers]] of making baseless accusations and not conducting due diligence in their investigation into Jirard's Open Hand Foundation, with Jared tweeting: "This is horseshit. They're both making a lot of assumptions and accusations without being able to actually prove anything. Almost like they're presenting the worst and trying to get views off of it. They didn't bother trying to reach out to Jirard about it. No due diligence". Jared's defense quickly backfired when he realized that Muta and Karl had actually conducted a conference call with Jirard prior to publicizing their findings, a fact that severely undermined Jared's argument. He later deleted his tweet defending Jirard.
