Donkey Kong Is Beautiful | Ash Meets HBomberGuy

Over the weekend of the 19th of January English YouTuber Hbomberguy (aka Harry Brewis) raised $347,000 for Trans youth charity Mermaids in a marathon Donkey Kong 64 session.

Guests such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Chelsea Manning, Mara Wilson and John Romero joined the stream’s livechat throughout the weekend turning it into a huge online event.

Ash Sarkar caught up with Harry to talk trans rights, the power of YouTube, has-been comedians and more in this interview.
