- Hi. You may remember me from TV (really!), no? That's ok. Basic cable is a scary place. Anyway, I went from covering Respawn to working there. I was most surprised by the amount of kitten videos they make me watch. I was also promised some sort of "ban hammer" for the website launch, but have yet to be presented with any weaponry. Tl;DR version: Loves games, has cats. Twitter: @abbieheppe

- Biography
- Alex is someone you'll never understand completely, but finding out more is so much fun. He drove around for months with a bowling ball in his trunk - if you asked him why, he got a pained expression and said, "It's a long story." Eventually you stop asking these types of questions. He's been late to work because he was stuck at the US Embassy. He can get you a toe, no problem. When he travels to South Korea, he breaks into apartments and sleeps on the floor. Now that he has a pilot's license, it's only going to get weirder.

- He ran through the jungle dodging brush and his own booby traps. The humid night air smelled of blood and peat moss. A distant fire roared in the distance, illuminating the night sky into a bright orange. As prey, he would have to act quickly. Geoffrey readied his improvised banana leaf grenade bow and arrow. His naked body was covered in river mud, camouflaging the spectrum of the hunters vision. Then there was a fistfight with the creature and it ended up getting mortally wounded by a deadfall log. It got really pissed off and started a countdown for something, maybe a really huge bomb or whatever. Geoff ran away before the bomb went off and the credits rolled after that.

- Biography
- Wonjae Kim (roughly translated: Won - "Root" Jae - "Smart" ) grew up in the meanest and darkest ghetto of Seoul, Korea. Often fighting off the local gangs to feed his orphanage of starving children, Wonjae earned the nickname "Teunteunhan Jae", or "Strong Jae" in American English. To pass the time away from fighting gangs to the death, he would venture north to the Demilitarized Zone. With his two best friends Jay and Yung Hoon, they would often pester the border guards by making fart noises with their armpits and digging up landmines with kitchen utensils. Amidst all the violence and feeding parent-less children, Strong Jae had a love, or passion, for the sport of basketball. At 6'3" 195 lbs., Strong Jae was the power forward for the local high school team. His most stunning achievement in his high school basketball career was four touchdowns in one game.
