John and Cliff Bleszinski at the GOW release party 2006.
My name is John Meadows. I am Founder and Owner of The Gamers Lounge, and I also producer and host of The Gamers Lounge Podcast. I have been playing video games for over 30 years. I'm not only a player, but a collector as well. My console of choice is anything with the name SEGA on it. I enjoy RPG's and any game with a good storyline. Some of my favorites are the Yakuza and Shenmue series.

Nathanael is perplexed by the visual fidelity of the great outdoors.
My name is Nathanael, and I am a Minecraft addict. I am also one of the co-hosts of The Gamers Lounge Podcast. I play games of many different types, but I am especially fond of western-style RPGs, action adventures, and open world games. Arcade racers are the way to go; forget that simulation stuff. I grew up with point-and-click adventure games and old school things, like ZZT, so I guess you could say I've been doing this for a long time.
I have a YouTube channel that focuses mainly on Minecraft, but I do put up other games from time to time. You can also follow me on Twitter @Polygon_Wizard
Erik’s Real Hobby
My name is Erik Kubik, and I'm one of the co-founders and contributors here at The Gamers Lounge. I've been writing about video games for 7+ years now. Before coming to The Gamers Lounge, I was the Editor-in-Chief for Goozernation.com, a Goozex Community fan site. I've been gaming since the late '80s. At one time, I was mostly a PC gamer, but the release of the Dreamcast changed this. Due to this amazing Dreamcast system, I was a convert. Nowadays, I dabble in console and PC gaming. Some of my favorite games include the Fallout series, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Resident Evil 4, GTA San Andreas, Metro Last Light, and Bioshock.

Michael Knight in training.
My name is Ryan Johnsonand I'm Senior Writer here at The Gamers Lounge.. My life used to circle around video games, starting with an old Commodore 64 PC running Blue Print, Ghostbusters, and the old B.C. comic strip game, and has evolved through the years to include about every system ever created.
I find my time split these days between doing the adult thing to pay bills and raising two wonderful kids with my wife Renee, but I still love gaming, and have been introducing my sons to my favorite pastime. You can follow along in my series: Evolution of a Gamer, where I learn a thing or two while teaching them about video games. I write other stuff for the site as well, but these are some of my favorite pieces.

Dan has the same hobby as Erik
Hello, I’m Dan Hillman, and am a contributor here at The Gamer’s Lounge. In real life, I am a Health Informatics Specialist who has authored such fascinating literature as “Instillation and setup of the ER7B endorectal pressure sensor.” and “Understanding why your IT staff keeps shooting out your porch light.”
I’ve been gaming since before the asteroid destroyed the first generation of game consoles, and survived that cataclysm by seeking refuge in PC games. I mark as particular favorites X-COM, Kerbal Space Program, and Valheim. I’m currently in an abusive relationship with World of Warships.
