Jack has been gaming since before he had conscious memories. He started with games like Super Smash Bros. and Ocarina of Time on the N64 and he's played at least a game or two on nearly every console released since then.  These days he mostly plays whatever he can get his friends to join him in on the PC. He also loves zombie movies and anything that deals with time loops.

Sean's love of video games began before home consoles were a thing. Arcades drew his attention and quarters for hours  - much to the chagrin of his parents (who supplied the quarters). From the Atari 2600 - his first console - to the PS5 - his newest console. Sean has been in games media since 2012 and his passion is for reviews and op-eds and commenting on both the creative and business sides of video games. Also loves dogs, hardcore music, movies (watching and making).
