I’ve always loved the idea of games. The ability to escape whatever is going on in life just for a few hours and just have fun. As a kid, I sat on my Nintendo DS playing Pokémon for hours. Now, I’ve grown to love PC games and the communities that surround them.
Favorite Standalone AAA Game:
The Witcher 3. The characters and the depth of the game are second to none.
Favorite Indie Game:
Honestly, not a big Indie game player. I guess I’ll have to go with Minecraft if you consider that an Indie game.
Favorite Multiplayer Game:
PUBG. Although it never reached its full potential, this game was the most fun battle royale game at its peak. The shenanigans the boys would have on this game were second to none.
Most Hours Played:
CSGO. Don’t play this game much anymore. But in my teenage years I put thousands of hours into this game. And I was still exceptionally average.

I’ve been playing video games since I could remember. I have five older brothers that would do nothing but play games on the SNES so the tradition was passed down. From playing mobile games like COD Zombies to sleepless nights mining diamonds in Minecraft, my gaming adventures cease to halt.
Favorite Standalone AAA Game:
My favorite standalone AAA game right now is probably Breath of the Wild. I’ve been playing the hell out of it lately and it’s great. The visuals and music really carry the enjoyment of this game.
Favorite Indie Game:
Minecraft was probably my favorite indie game when it was first released. I played this game when it was still in beta and did nothing but farm animals and get blown by creepers…blown ‘up’ by creepers.
Favorite Multiplayer Game:
100%, my favorite multiplayer game is Mario Kart. I would play this game as a kid nonstop with my cousins and as a college student, although the version we played was called Beerio Kart.
Most Hours Played:
League of Legends. Started playing at age 13 and still play at 22. This is what self torture looks like.

Hey, my friends and I have been playing games for as long as we can remember, and I know you share that passion. Growing up I had pretty limited access to games, but some of the fondest memories I have of gaming were when I was playing Warcraft 3 on my dad’s old brick of a computer hooked up with an ethernet cord. When I was getting into middle school and high school, my console days were filled with Black Ops zombies with my buddies and Skyrim/Borderlands on my own time. Throughout college, PC gaming was where I could sink a lot of my time, usually involving indie games like the Don’t Starve series, Subnautica, Darkest Dungeon, and Northgard. As of right now, I’ve been enjoying League of Legends with my friends and playing through Elden Ring. I think the indie game scene is really popping off lately and I look forward to seeing some crazy stuff in the future.
Favorite Standalone AAA Game:
Skyrim: My early days on console were filled with loading screen wait times because of this game. I think we all knew how buggy it was, but it didn’t make this game any less enjoyable for all the years I’ve played it.
Favorite Indie Game:
Subnautica: Atmospheric, beautiful, and thought-provoking. In my mind, the perfect indie game formula.
Favorite Multiplayer Game:
Team Fortress 2: I was going to go with the original Black Ops zombies, but I have to give TF2 its due credit.
Most Hours Played:
Don’t Starve Series, 1,000 hours: What can I say, it's a fun series.

Ever since I was a little kid, my Dad, my Uncle and my buddies got me hooked on video games. I started off playing on the SNES, Xbox Original, and my Gameboy Advance SP. Each day I would come home from school and me and my dad would play the original Halo or Medal of Honor and work together to beat the campaign. Eventually, we moved on to the 360, where we played countless hours of World at War zombies. To this day, me and my dad still occasionally play zombies and my love for games themselves never ceases to amaze me. The memories and nostalgia is what I love the most as well as making new friends.
Favorite Standalone AAA Game:
My favorite game by far will always be Skyrim. I played it when it first came out and ended up getting the Xbox 360 bundle. No matter how long the waiting screens were or how buggy the game could be, I would sit there and play for hours while admiring Tamriel.
Favorite Indie Game:
My favorite Indie Game of all time has to be Minecraft. I played countless hours starting on the PC and Xbox. I loved the entire aspect of having a sort of open world survival where you can do whatever you want. Whether it's farming, mining, or building, you could create your imaginations into blocks and I thought it was the coolest thing ever!
Favorite Multiplayer Game:
My favorite Multiplayer game where I spent the most time with friends has to be GTA V online. I have played countless hours and created so many hilarious memories playing that game from the moment it first came out. Tied for second has to be Mario Kart. I used to play every day on the bus during the ride to school. We would all link up on the local play and try to destroy each other every chance we got.
Most Hours Played:
GTA V online: 2136 hours. I was a little addicted to this game when it first came out and played numerous times until the sun came up and the birds started chirping.
