SungWon Cho, known for his viral comedy skits and voice acting roles, traces his PC gaming origins back to Humongous Entertainment's children's adventure titles like Freddi Fish and Spy Fox. "Games like Freddi Fish, Spy Fox, those really stuck with me," Cho recalled. "I remember playing those at a pretty young age and just being obsessed with the characters, the dialogue."
Cho, who has amassed nearly four million YouTube subscribers and lent his voice to characters in God of War: Ragnarok, the Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters, and the Paramount Golden Axe series, prefers to reserve his Steam library for games he intends to fully complete. "If I know I'm going to be obsessed with a game, I like to play it on PC," he stated.
Current Gaming Habits
Currently, Cho is not actively playing any PC games. The last title that captured his attention on the platform was Dave the Diver. He described the game's loop as "very satisfying," praising its art style and overall joyful experience. "My wife and I will take turns, and sometimes if we're really into a game it's like 'Hey, you're not going to see me. Like in the evenings, you're not going to see me. This is what I'm going to be doing.'"
Following Dave the Diver, Cho immersed himself in Hades 2, which he 100% completed over 120 hours. He made a point to wait for the game's 1.0 release to experience it fresh, a preference stemming from his dislike for early access. "I like to wait 'til it's done so that when I dive in, it all feels new," he explained. Cho noted he prefers Hades 2 over the original, citing the main character, the added casting system, and the dual progression paths as improvements, though he also enjoyed the increased challenge it offered.
Cherished Classics and Time Sinks
The oldest game currently installed on Cho's PC is VVVVVV, a title he played on his Let's Play channel, ProZD Plays Games. While he finds it to be a "good game," he cannot recall the specific reason for its continued presence. Close behind is Civilization 5, a game he has played extensively despite never having tried subsequent entries like Civilization 6. Cho admitted to a "delusional part of me that's like, 'well, I'm going to get all the achievements one day,'" a drive that fuels his completionist playstyle.
Cho identifies himself as a player who loves to "100% a game." He finds that achievements encourage him to explore playstyles he might otherwise overlook, fulfilling his enjoyment of checking off lists. This methodical approach extends to his favorite PC games, where having a checklist, either on a second monitor or on paper, constitutes his "bliss."
By far the game that has consumed the most of Cho's time is Balatro, with an astonishing 354 hours logged. He considers it "one of the best games of all time" and actively avoids playing it on mobile to prevent excessive engagement. Cho found the game's achievement for acquiring every joker particularly challenging, especially due to the rarity of the "obelisk" joker. He described the struggle to find this specific joker as agonizing, even when nearing victory.
He also found some of Balatro's challenge modes to be "brutal" and a "slog," citing "Jokerless," which removes all joker slots, and "Cruelty," where big blinds do not provide money, as particularly difficult. Despite the challenges, he generally found the game's challenges to be fun.
The Uninstaller Exception
Cho's one exception to his rule of never uninstalling a game is Nerts Online!, a free, real-time competitive solitaire card game. He has over 100 hours in the game and enjoys competing with friends who are equally skilled. "It's basically chaotic, competitive solitaire, where you're all trying to get your cards in a pile as quickly as you can in real time," he explained.
This preference for Nerts Online! highlights Cho's general aversion to multiplayer games. He dislikes being dependent on scheduling with others and has had negative experiences where newer players are left behind. "If I only have a limited amount of time to play games, I want to dedicate it to single-player," he stated, finding multiplayer games less "nutritious" for his personal taste compared to the memorable experiences offered by single-player titles.
Non-Gaming Software and Digital Clutter
When it comes to non-gaming software, Cho admits to a lack of technological sophistication, relying on Microsoft Paint for image editing. "I refuse to learn how to use Photoshop or anything like that. I have no idea how to use that stuff," he said. "I'm like 'Well, this is what I know. I don't care enough to learn a whole new thing. I'll just use Paint.'"
His desktop, however, is a different story. Cho described it as "a disaster," filled with approximately 260 individual files, including numerous PDFs and random screenshots. "The desktop to me is just another folder and it's nasty," he admitted. "Again, I'm lazy. I'm like 'Eh, I'll do it later.'"
