About Snackbar Games
Snackbar Games was formed in 2002 by a small group of friends in San Antonio, Texas. We’ve grown by leaps and bounds over the years, merging with Disc Read Error in 2005 and eToychest in 2007. We’ve branched out into various fields from time to time, but our focus has always been to deliver quality game reviews and compelling features.

Chris has been a writer for Snackbar since 2005, when the site merged with Disc Read Error. He has been a Nintendo fan ever since the days of Mega Man 2 and has fond memories of playing Atari 2600 games with his father before that. Every week he attends a local boardgaming group, a source of many Gaming Unplugged features here at Snackbar.

Henry Skey
Staff Writer
Henry Skey pens the Serotonin column and contributes to the podcast. He joined the site in June 2012, and couldn’t be more thrilled to know there are at least several people in the world who know far more about video games than he does. (Ed: not really.) Aside from games and writing, he enjoys cricket, soccer, theatre and movies.
Jeff deSolla
Staff Writer
Serving primarily as the site’s PC correspondent, Jeff joined the site in March 2012. He also makes regular appearances on the podcast, and occasionally delves into MMORPG topics in longer features.
Lucas White
Staff Writer
Before joining Snackbar in October 2012, Lucas wrote reviews for RoboAwesome, and has also contributed to Cracked in the form of vulgar Batman jokes. An aspiring writer in any field that will put up with him, he is also working on an independent game project and is dabbling in who knows what else.
Eric Albuen
Staff Writer
Eric, an avid music gamer who can’t go a week without making an arcade trip, is an aspiring game journalist who currently writes a gaming column at his college in New Jersey. Aside from indulging in Dance Dance Revolution, Beatmania IIDX and DJMax Technika weekly, he enjoys fighters, RPGs, adventure games, platformers and the occasional sports game. He joined the site in July 2011.
Chris Dominowski
Staff Writer
Chris joined Snackbar in June 2012 as a member of the site’s review staff. He’s a retro gaming enthusiast, armed with an nigh-encyclopedic knowledge of all things gaming. He’ll probably write a column for Snackbar someday.
Erik Twice
Staff Writer
Erik has always been a bit of a writer and a bit too much of a gamer, so it didn’t take him long to abandon terrible novels and start a similarly-terrible game blog. Since joining the site in August 2012, Erik writes the site’s Flashback column, which thanks to its focus on forgotten classics and hidden gems, leaves him plenty of cash for world domination.
