Larry Bundy Jr

Larry Bundy Jr, also known as Guru Larry, (born 9 May 1979) is a British TV presenter, Comedian and video contributor for That Guy with the Glasses, Retroware TV and YouTube (as "LarryBundyJr" and "GuruLarry").
He has been featured on several British television channels including Game Network, Rapture TV and XLEAGUE.TV. His shows on ScrewAttack and That Guy With the Glasses include, Games Yanks Can't Wank, Hack-job, Pop-Up Review, and (most famously) Guru Larry's Retro Corner. He also works for other company's such as Retroware.tv and is currently the voice of GAME stores retailer, Gameplay.co.uk.
Early career
Guru Larry's early career began working as a Manga/Anime artist, working for companies like Bungie and Rockstar Games on Oni, Datel for the Game Boy Advance version of their Action Replay and also for magazine covers such as EDGE amongst other projects. He also did most of the art for an obscure PC game called "Akimbo: Kung Fu Hero" which, according to Larry, no one has ever heard of. He has also been working for years on a British comedy manga comic series called "Natural Born Kittens" (a sitcom about four teenage demon cat-goddesses living in a London suburban council house) with Alastair Swinnerton, the co-creator of LEGO Bionicle.
His first major TV appearance was on a British Television gaming show called Head to Head in which he was a contestant on. His first appearance on that show had Larry playing on a Sega Megadrive/Sega Genesis playing a game called Super Kick-Off. He sadly lost thanks to the host telling him the wrong buttons to save penalties. However he came back onto the show and played a racing game called Rock and Roll Racing. He won this comeback and was awarded a mountain bike as the prize. Years later he appeared on another gaming show called Gamesworld at the age of 18. Many years later he appeared on a satellite TV channel, called Game Network. While there he worked on a show called Game Guru, which was broadcasted by Game Network in 2001 until the channel ended in February 2006. It was also there where he met Wesley Lock, who has been with him in projects ever since.
Work on XLEAGUE.TV
His most recent presenting on TV was on a series called Reviewmageddon broadcasted by XLEAGUE.TV. The show involved him and his other friend Wesley Lock, reviewing new video games that had just been released on a scale of 1 to 5. The show ended after the second series, due to the demise of XLEAGUE.TV.
Larry's other work on XLEAGUE.TV included shows such as Guru Larry's Retro Corner and Wez and Larry's Top Tens which were also cancelled due to the demise of XLEAGUE.TV, (though they were later resurrected for That Guy With The Glasses).
After XLEAGUE.TV
After the ending of XLEAGUE.TV Larry has gone onto making pre-order videos for a game sales website called gameplay.co.uk in which he has covered many games such as Just Cause 2, Halo 3: ODST and God of War III to name a few. Also he has created the box cover artwork for Sivak games' original NES game Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril which was released this year.
Personal life
Guru Larry was born on May 9, 1979, and currently lives in Northwood, London, UK.
His real name is "Larry Bundy", with him adding the "Jr" part himself, purposely spelling it in American English (Larry has been quoted as saying the main reason he added the Jr moniker was originally to avoid confusing postal mail with his father).
