Who He Is: Senior Editor, Site Admin

Bio: Hey everyone. The name is Eric Bouchard, and I’ve been playing video games ever since my mom introduced me to Donkey Kong at the local laundry mat. My taste in gaming is pretty diverse, ranging from the core games like Gears of War 2 to more casual like Puzzle Quest. I also have a special place in my heart for some of the older games, especially on the Dreamcast. I’m a huge music fan, love movies, and watch more TV than I like to admit.

Who He Is: PC Editor

Bio: Hey everybody, my name is Chris Maeurer. I am a 31 year-old Paramedic, born and raised in Queens, New York. I’ve been happily married since 2001, and my beautiful wife, Alithia and I moved upstate to the Catskills in 2006. I first remember gaming on the Atari 2600 and my Texas Instruments computer. I gamed on everything I could, but my PC roots run deep-I love the mods and customization it offers. Now, with 5 boys of my own, I enjoy sharing the hobby with them. I enjoy mostly action/FPS games, of course the awesome strategy games PC gamers are accustomed too, as well as the occasional RPG.
