About

Somecallmejohnny, or Juan "Johnny" Ortiz, is a Peurto Rican gamer who reviews various games, ranging from Sonic, Mario, and Metroid. His reviews are best known for their impartiality and indifference to the bandwagon. His style is typically that of the dry deadpan genre. As of 2015 he has over 148,000 subscribers.
From time to time he will invite various friends or other reviewers to co-review with him including his younger step-brother Elliot Cancell, or his best friend Matt Metelli. He also has made guest appearances on popular LP channels including "Sonic's Channel" and "Cobanermani456".

History

In 2008, the channel originally began as a duo review series, known as SGB Reviews (SGB standing for Super Gaming Brothers), as they were reviewed by both Johnny and his aforementioned brother Elliot.

However, eventually Elliot left, presumably due to the business of school and Johnny took over, renaming the series as Johnny vs. The World. However Elliot still makes guest appearances from time to time.
