Chris Ingersoll

Chris Ingersoll has been a reviewer 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; it is hard to remember a time in his life when he was not a gamer. In addition to video gaming, he is also active in the North Carolina Magic: The Gathering community, serving as a DCI-sanctioned Level One judge when not playing. Every Tuesday night he attends a local boardgaming group, which is the source of many Gaming Unplugged features here at Snackbar. His one gaming-related regret is that he no longer has the time to participate in pen-and-paper role-playing sessions, despite continuing to purchase new books for games like Changeling: The Lost and other World of Darkness products.

In defiance of all odds, he is married to a wonderful woman whom he met via an internet fantasy wrestling forum (yes, really). He occasionally updates his blog (warning: no profanity restrictions over there), but mostly inhabits about a half-dozen message boards in addition to Snackbar's own; his screen name is Vyolynce on all of them and pretty much anywhere else you might find him.

 

Chris LaVigne

Chris LaVigne began gaming with an Intellivision, eventually fell in love with the old Sierra adventures and then entered full-on fandom with the arrival of the NES. He stubbornly refuses to give up PC gaming, but will switch on a Wii or DS when the need to sit on a couch strikes him. He's written about videogames for PopMatters.com, The Escapist, the Vancouver Courier, Canadian Notes & Queries, and will begin a monthly tech column for Maisonneuve magazine in March.

 

Chris Rasco

Chris Rasco is the current owner and Co-Editor in Chief of Snackbar Games. He is one of the founding members of the site and also serves as the lead developer of the site. When time permits, he contributes news and reviews.

In addition to Snackbar Games, he runs The Cover Project and a personal blog.

 

David Brown

David Brown is the producer/visual designer for Snackbar Games and is based in New York City. He joined the team in late 2005 to support the production of the  Snackbar Games podcasts but his role has expanded to helping Chris with site upgrades and design changes. When not stressing over fatherhood, he also contributes gaming news and adds "east-coast" flava to the team.

 

Graham Russell

Graham Russell is the Managing Editor of Snackbar Games.

Since joining Snackbar in February 2007, he has reviewed games for the Wii, DS, 360, PC, PS2 and PSP.  He has hosted multiple live webcasts for SBG.  He also has served as news editor, columnist and associate reviews and features editor.

Outside of Snackbar, Graham is a visual journalist and graphic designer.

 

Jason Keeley

Jason Keeley has been playing games for as long as he can remember. From the halcyon days of Infocom's text adventures and NES platformers to today's massively multiplayer online worlds, there are few gaming pots that he hasn't stuck his hand in. As a recent addition, Jason is excited to bring this breadth of experience to Snackbar Games. Just how remains to be seen.

When not gaming, Jason edits logic puzzles for Penny Press. Yes, logic puzzles.

 

Justin Last

Justin Last is an avid fan of platformers, puzzle games, FPS, and board games. Favorites from each genre include Prince of Persia: The Sands of time, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, and Ticket to Ride. In what little time he has that isn't devoted to games he flies communication satellites for a living. Still no luck on convincing them to use 360 controllers for repositioning maneuvers, but he's holding out hope!

 

Matthew Gallant

Matthew Gallant is a software engineering major at Concordia University, Montreal. He writes occasional news and reviews for Snackbar, and keeps a personal blog called The Quixotic Engineer.

 

Michael Walbridge

Michael Walbridge has written for Gamasutra, Eurogamer, and currently has a column at GameSetWatch. His work at these places and at his blog has been linked to by such places as Newsweek's Level Up, Massively, Kotaku, Fidgit, Wikipedia, SlashDot, and The Brainy Gamer.

He joined Snackbar as an editor in 2007, finished college in 2008, and now freelances and works in Internet marketing.

Here's a list of his favorite games (by amount of time spent playing them):

 

Mike Carabajal

One of the original founding members of Snackbar Games, Mike "Pickle" Carabajal is a producer and co host for the Snackbar Games podcast.  When he is not playing video games (or talking about them), Mike can be found on the table top playing Warhammer 40k and leading his friends into the delves of dungeons as a dungeon master.
