Title: Two Staff Birthdays
Post by: Jonnyboy117 on March 25, 2005, 02:20:13 PM
It's time to wish Happy Birthday to Chris Bethea and David Trammell!

Here at PGC, we like to post these little notes when one of our staff members has a birthday.  Well, today is a special occasion, with not one but TWO birthdays on the same day!


Chris Bethea started as our Japan Correspondent while studying abroad there.  After coming home to the States, he's now a Staff Writer who happens to be fluent in Japanese.  We rely on him for news translations and also to do the tough import reviews (like RPGs).  Trivia: Chris lives just down the street from Ryan Jones, our super talented Staff Artist!


David Trammell was an old-time staff member who left to concentrate on grad school.  Now he's back to help us out with editorials, reviews, and our upcoming E3 coverage.  He's really into first-person shooters, as well as being godly at Super Monkey Ball.


Happy Birthday to each of these fine fellows!

David is a mod at the IGN forums (I think that predates even his first tenure at PGC), so that's why he doesn't hang out here much.

Quite true.  The IGN boards are a very, very old habit for me!  But I do enjoy my time here, and I should try to spend more time on our own forum.  Actually though, I became a mod at IGN about six months after starting to write for PGC the first time.

I always make a point to participate in the talkback threads that result from my editorials though.  And of course, feel free to email me if there's something you'd like to chat about.

Yeah, I am rize the remixer not virt the remixer.  I'm not nearly as good as virt, but I guess I'm not that bad (although remixers like virt make me sound pretty bad to myself!)
