Our Team
Any publication is only as good as the people who contribute. Fortunately, we're backed by a very talented and hard working team, one of the best in the industry.
Executive Team
 |
Shawn Snider, Executive Editor
Shawn brings nearly a decade of industry experience to the publication. He is an expert at late night update marathons and coding sessions, a pizza connoisseur, and likes to think he's good at Company of Heroes (when in fact he's truly terrible). |

Rick Poulin, Senior Editor, News Editor
Rick has learned a lot from games over the years, and most of that time involved PC real-time strategies. The likes of Warcraft 2 and Starcraft laid the groundwork for basic financial management early in high school, followed by a lesson in Command and Conquer politics combined with a very long stretch learning team dynamics and project management from the Age of Empires series. Intersperse a racing game or two for drivers' ed and you've got a nearly complete picture. Remember kids, red lights are optional, and you get bonus points for driving on the sidewalk. |

Andrew Sztein, Senior Editor
Andrew has been gaming since he was six years old, in an attempt to learn AI patterns such that he is prepared to fight back when the robots rise up against humanity in a bloody, albeit very cool coup. Thanks to gaming, he is also prepared and looking forward to a possible zombie apocalypse.

Daniel Acaba, Associate Editor
Gaming for the past twenty years Daniel has put in plenty of time into video games. Time enough for them to become a huge part of his life although one has to wonder what else he could have been accomplished with all that time if he wasn't gaming it away. But he prefers not to think of such trivial details and enjoy the games as they come. |

Editorial Team

Ania Kwak
Atari raised Ania long before geeky girl-gamers could turn on more than their consoles. She's used the first gargantuan floppy discs known to man, has epically battled in text-based combat, and personally suffered through the great depression, aka Atari's demise with the Jaguar CD. Having studied 3D Game Design and used every console available to date, she has a strong appreciation for all games and continues to pay tribute by playing them and creating fan art on the side in its freehand and pixilated glory. |

Avi Krebs
Avi has been gaming for as long as he can remember, and has the honour to declare he's not only played through the one-hundred plus games in his collection, he's finished most of them to absolute completion. |
|
Chris Moore
Chris has not yet submitted a short profile, but rest assured as soon as he does you'll see it appear here. |
 |
Isabel Jarvo
Isabel, a genetic cross between a Vulcan and an assimilated Borg feline, enjoys long nights playing shooters, romantic walks through Rapture and kicking her boyfriend's ass at Mario Kart and Dr. Mario. She swears she's female, though most of the male gamer population is convinced she's bluffing |

Michael Joly
Michael has not yet submitted a short profile, but rest assured as soon as he does you'll see it appear here. |

Naomi Brown
Unfortunately, someone still misses her Atari, badly. And the original Genesis given away by her evil hunchbacked, beer guzzling stepfather with the harelip and wandering eye. But knowing that those happy times are long gone, Naomi consoles herself with realizing that there's no way she'd ever get to play her lovely, mind screwing survival horror on an Atari. Or blow zombies heads off in such beautifully rendered bloody tones on the Genesis. So while the glory days of Centipede and Aladdin are long gone, she's still got her Fatal Frame and L4D to keep her company. |
