Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on October 05, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Mike Matei! Another year older and still crushing it harder than James crushes controllers during those infamous gaming rage moments. From your hilarious banter on "James & Mike Mondays" to the countless hours spent editing Monster Madness into spooky perfection—your dedication is legendary.

Whether you're skillfully dissecting retro games or bravely enduring obscure movie marathons for Cinemassacre's fans, you've proven yourself a true master of entertainment chaos. May this birthday bring you fewer glitches than an NES cartridge and more laughs than AVGN bloopers!

Here's hoping your special day levels up with extra lives—and zero continues needed!
