ProJared ScrewAttack

Jared "ProJared" Knabenbauer is a successful YouTuber and a former member of ScrewAttack. He was originally hired to run GameAttack, and when it closed down he worked for ScrewAttack itself. Jared is a self-taught editor and at ScrewAttack went on to do a lot of voice over work, and several shows of his own including Nametags and Newsroom. 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 catch phrase 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 with Chad James, 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. As his YouTube channel was starting to become big, Jared was focusing on that more than he was focusing on his work at ScrewAttack. Craig Skistimas wanted all the staff to be focused on ScrewAttack only, which led to Jared being fired. While there was controversy and confusion on his departure, he still returned for SGC and Mario Party After Dark. His most popular YouTube video is 'How to Make Slender Not Scary', which has over 6 million views to date. He also has over 800,000 subscribers on his channel, "DMJared" (Dungeon Master Jared). He also has other popular series including ProReviews and Pokémon Nuzlockes.
