| Forest has a unique perspective on games, as he is a game
developer himself. He can analytically examine any game for its true worth and effort, and come up with an even better
design of how he would have done it. A true expert and critical reviewer, if you ever wanted to know all the
dark little details of a game before going out and buying it, and all its positive enhancements, Forest is sure to
take you on just the trip you were looking for. He's also our in-house tech specialist in the development forums, for those
really sticky questions. (Believe me, he knows what he's talking about). He's also the right-hand-man here at GV taking care of all the behind the scenes work that keeps things running, editing articles (so you don't have to be plagued with Award's terrible typos), and taking care of oddball maintenance and site administration to make things run smoothly.

| Mike 'Despondent' Piotrowski |
| Despondent is the best strategist I've ever seen. I think the grand total anyone has ever lasted against him in Total Annihilation is about ten minutes. I myself have fallen victim to his Can rushes more times than I'd care to count. Aside from that, he's also an avid fan of nearly every genre of game, and an excellent writer. Despondent takes care of all the GV coverage Award and Havoc can't get to in our busy days, and then some. Terror primarily handles editorials and feature articles. E-Mail:

Position: Staff Writer/Dept. Editor

Quote:
In the arena and on the field a feirce battle wages. One of survival, death and triumph. Here I stand against my enemy, both armed with weapon in hand, there is no conversation. Silence, the wind blows deafeningly, however it is not there, not to me. There is no talk of truce, for I cannot grant my victory, nor can I deprive my enemy the death he seeks. There is no compromise. My eyes flare as the determined fires rage, my heart pounds as the endless inferno churns. This endless inferno churns, wrenching my body into action, the determined fires blaze and my body leaps into conflict. My skills have taken over, all thought is gone, logic is none existant. I am driven by nothing but honed instinct, death comes soon. The victor found as the dust settles. I am warrior, may the battle be joined.
