Our names are Rene Beijer and Mathew Harvey and for the price of one you can have two!Rene Beijer here, I am a 25 year old bartender living in good ol’ New Zealand, I am extremely confident in making a dick of myself, cameras be damned and can carry a decent conversation on video games, video game developers and the societal changes and impacts that video games and media have on popular culture, my favourite colour is purple and my favourite drink is the Espresso martini, apart from a single shot of espresso and 30 ml’s of a fine vodka I add 7.5 ml’s of Cointreau and Baileys with a dash of Crème de cacao, Kahlua and Frangelico for a decent chocolate hazelnut coffee hit with a nice orange finish,
I have followed the crew of Giant Bomb for the last 14 years, with their humour and zest for the “dumb” playing a significant role in my outlook on life, if I could distil the effect that the crew have had on me to a single word I’d wager it to be empowerment.
This is hella dumb and it probably shouldn’t see the light of day.
Matt here, I also suffer the disability of living in New Zealand. I’m a budding journalist, in my mind anyway. In reality I’m a recent Anthropology and Philosophy graduate who has a volunteer role writing stuff about motorsport. But I’m also a big video game nerd, I probably didn’t need to tell you that since I found my way to your site but I may as well remind you. Not only do I love games but I love the content people produce to celebrate them, everything from the humour of stuff like Rooster Teeth to the informative criticism of people like Errant Signal (and your excellent mix of both). Unfortunately I haven’t produced much videogame related stuff other than this, partly because I spend a lot of time consuming video games media rather than attempting to produce it, and I want that to change. I’m the words guy of us too by the way, partly because I spent three years writing essays at university and partly because Rene said so.
This is hella dumb and should probably at least land us volunteer roles of some sort.
