Chip Chasterson is a recovering scientist who enjoys cooking, slice-of-life anime, and writing about video games with his wife at Games I Made My Girlfriend Play. He’s easy to spot in a crowd, just look for the tallest guy- drinking craft beer and giving giant bear hugs.

The space-and-NASA-obsessed, Joss-Whedon-fangirling, caffeine allergic, totally insane founder of UPickVG. It is well-known that Stephonee is afraid of ducks, loves spreadsheets, and just can’t do platformers to save her [character’s] life. She’s also responsible for most of the social media and blogging around these parts.

Chloe is a human being with a degree in math and a specialty in statistics. Many have suspected that she is a robot, citing as evidence the fact that she does not sleep, and the fact that her thumbs are incapable of two joystick controls. Her hobbies outside gaming include learning, teaching, knitting, and messing with spreadsheets. She has many non-robot passions, interests, and attributes. We cannot, at this time, confirm that she is not a robot.
