About Me

Hello everyone, my name is morgan Barnes, and my origins stem from a little town called Crestview in FL.  Because of my family's work, I've lived all over the country and made many friends...  Through my life I was lucky enough to stumble across three friends that had that undeniable passion for video games (much like myself).  We all got together for a few group gaming sessions that would always evolve into these very interesting and diverse conversations about games and life...  Almost instantly we decided that we really wanted to create a podcast/website that would allow us to express our love of video games and video game culture, collectively... as friends.

I am currently living in a little town called Great Falls, MT with my beautiful girlfriend Cheyanne.  The idea and name of the site were started about a year ago... but has only fallen together recently.  Creating a game website/podcast has been a dream of mine for quite some time now, and it's truly therapeutic for my soul...but it think what i love most about the podcast is unraveling the soul of a game from the many perspectives of friends that love video games as much as myself.

As far as game specific traits go... I love me some RPGs!!!  As I mentioned in our beta cast, my favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy 8: Mainly because it was the gateway for me, as a young lad, into the world of RPGS (and gaming in general)...  Sure, when I was younger I had my forays into masterpieces like Super Metroid, and Pokemon (as much as some of us hate to admit), but FF8 had an impact on my entire life... my soul... unlike any game before.  I really love admiring games of the highest craft and quality, and I love to see games that push the boundaries of what people think video games can accomplish.  Video games have the unique ability to conjure up emotions and experiences that can only be expressed through that medium.  I hope you all enjoy the site and the podcast because we truly love every moment of work that goes into this little creation.

Briefly below are some of my favorite games, developers, and characters that have influenced me over the course of my life for many reasons...

Some of my most influential/favorite games:  Final Fantasy 8, Metal Gear Solid 2, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Metroid, Pokemon Blue, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War 2, World of Warcraft, Bioshock, HALO 2.

Favorite developers/creators/composers:  Hideo Kojima (MGS), David Jaffe (God of War), Cliffy B. (Gears of War), Satoshi Tajiri (Pokemon), Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), Marty O'Donnel (Halo), Ken Levine (Bioshock).

Favorite characters:  Seifer Almsaly (FF8), Arbiter (HALO 2), Raiden (MGS), Kratos (GoW).
