-Costello was born and lives in France. Which means he smokes cigarettes and does not shower.  He "studied" at Brookes University in Oxford, UK. He is a self-taught programmer. Which basically meant he ate lots of food and watch a lot of porn. He started learning at the age of 14 (because learning at the age of 13 was too difficult) when he was in High School, and as he grew older he began learning more languages (and finding his penis): HTML, PHP, SQL, Javascript, CSS, and everything you need to design a dynamic website.

-Known for censoring material deemed as "flame". When he is confronted about said post forum blocks or deletions he is quick to g-line or ban from the forums. He does not like people questioning his authority. Has banned several individuals for basically talking back to him when they felt he was wrong. His favorite pass times include mass private messaging people with lame advertisements of shitty Gbatemp Merchandise that is sold for a ridiculously high price.
-On July 25th 2011, Costello came up with an idea of changing the name of the website from GBAtemp.net to CostelloTemp.net for the GBA has long been dead and he wanted a special gift for his birthday.  While Shaunj66 completely supported Costello's idea it was strongly protested by the other staff members such as Toni Plutonij and mthrnite. Costello dropped this plan because he felt powerless this one time.
