GameInformer

Tim's gaming obsession began when his older brother became bored with his Atari 2600. His Sonic the Hedgehog skills were second to none at a young age, but that never stopped him for pining after games on other consoles, like Mega Man for the NES. He thus vowed to own every console and play the gamut of games as soon as humanly possible. His desire to play everything is in direct conflict with his drive to complete every game he plays, successfully creating a time-sucking paradox. Upon graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2008 with a sociology degree, Tim pursued a career in the gaming subculture, writing for a grassroots gaming blog and attending multiple gaming conventions. That was but a prelude to his internship at Game Informer in 2009, which ultimately landed him a position working for the company as it prepared for metamorphosis. In his free time, Tim enjoys playing even more video games, watching horror movies, and climbing rocks.
