About Me:
I’m trying my best to be a gaming journalist. Now that that’s said, I’m a pretty chill and laid back (sometimes read: apathetic) individual. I game when I can/have something to play/have someone to play with, a very social gamer one might say. My main hobbies would be gaming and comics. There’s not so much to know about me… beyond the fact that I’m awesome and the most humble person you’ll ever see.

About Me:
Been a gamer since my first system the NES as a kid.  I can’t remember a time where they weren’t a point of discussion between friends at school or co-workers at the job. Don’t get nearly enough time to play them as I used to, but I always try to keep up with what is going on in the gaming community.  Looking forward to writing about them here at MONG.

About Me:
I’m a jack of all trades. Beyond the normal boring working to survive stuff, I’ve been involved in theatre, improv comedy, hosted a radio show, I once ran away to go work at Disney World for 3 months. But through all that I’ve been passionate about video games. I’ve been so privileged in my lifetime to see video games grow from a fledgling novelty market, to the latest emerging form of art. I’m honored to be given a public forum to talk about something I love very much.

About Me: I am a man of many talents. As a college student, I hope to finish getting my math degree (yes, I know you hate math). I also plan on starting up my own studio called Project Gamma. Overall, though, gaming has been my life and I want to see how far it can take me. From the simple Nintendo games when Mario was still interesting to the awesome world that is PlayStation to even Microsoft’s  place, I have been around the gaming block. You can always follow my antics on Twitter. I have been known to be hilarious on occasion.

About Me: I’ve been called a dreamer, schemer, and a true believer who could probably accomplish something if my attention span weren’t so short. If the world suddenly devolves into a dystopian hellscape where life and death are dictated by otherwise useless video game, movie, and comic book trivia… I’m your guy! Besides that, just let me sleep in until the zombie apocalypse finally happens.

About Me: I could say that I’m at college, I’m not. I could say I have a job, I don’t. What I do have is 3 years of writing about games off and on and determination to do the best I can do. Will I make it? Probably not, but you can’t say I sure as hell didn’t try.

About Me: I am a recent graduate with a public relations degree, meaning my life consists of underemployment, job applications and gaming. I started with a Gameboy Color and an issue of Nintendo Power and haven’t looked back. While I hope to eventually be that PR guy that you get irrationally ticked at, I’m glad to be writing for MONG in the meantime. In addition to gaming, I like a nice rare steak, weekends spent boating and Antonio Brown touchdowns.

About Me: I am a senior in high school and cannot wait for it to be over. Obviously I love video games and love the fact I can show my passion through this website. While I do interact with other gamers in real life, I still have more I want to say. Video games are not the only entertainment I like. I enjoy watching TV, movies, and occasionally reading.
