Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end.

Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
