Biography

I’m Bilawal, a humble hardware reviewer at WhatifGaming. I have a background in Software Engineering and tech, so my job here is enjoyable. Getting to test out new gaming goodies and getting to play, I mean test, videogames during work hours? This is the life. I’ve been gaming since 1996 when my uncle got me a PlayStation One for my birthday. From Dino Crisis to Gran Tourismo, I’ve played anything and everything my cousins could lend me. I moved to the PlayStation 2, then Xbox 360, and PlayStation 4, and now I own the holy trinity of consoles. As for the games I love, I’m an RPG fan through and through. Any game that has role-playing elements is a game made for me; yes, I even enjoyed The Crew. Cyberpunk? Starfield? Elder Scrolls? Persona? Hades? I’ve said yes to them all. Tinkering with custom controllers, listening to the keystrokes of a mechanical keyboard, and yelling to test the noise cancellation quality of headphones are part of my work week. Any device I review gets used by me for at least a whole week. The bio here? It’s helping me test a new keyboard and mouse at the same time. Gaming gear reviewed by actual gamers is what we do here at WhatifGaming. It’s Skyrim. Mod it, and it’s Skyrim with Thomas the Train as dragons. Play it on the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, and it’s Skyrim on the train. Play it on Game Pass, and it’s suddenly Skyrim for free. Lastly, boot it on the PlayStation VR, and you are IN Skyrim. No matter where I play the game, I always become a stealth archer. Deep down, we all want to be wood elves and archer thieves. I have been gaming since 1994 on a console that I owned. I also dabbled in PC gaming for a bit, but I’ve mainly been a console gamer for almost 2 decades.

  • What Are Heated Windshield Wipers And Can They Be Added To Any Car?

    By Bilawal Bashir| SlashGear Verified Driving in snowy weather is hard, and clearing snow and ice off the car is a chore. It's a tedious though necessary process that can take a good chunk of time. But while you have to push snow off the top manually, modern vehicles have features that speed up snow clearing. Defrosters, heated front and rear windshields, and heated windshield wipers help clean built-up snow off the car.
