Justin – Senior Editor
Justin Fenico has a borderline obsession with games. Action/Adventure/RPG/Sports/FPS and even the occasional MMO. His desire to play/conquer a title is unquenchable. He enjoys playing games, discussing games, and reminiscing about games over a nice cold bottle of Sam Adams (preferably a seasonal ale but the original goes down just as smooth).
Justin will be posting content regularly including reviews, previews, interviews, rants, and all gold quality posts on MMOMFG.

Dustin – Editor in Chief
Dustin Blackwell, rarely beats a video game. His main problem is his addiction to MMO games such as WoW, which don’t have actual endings. Due to this factor and his desire to look and be the best, he can never truly enjoy games that have endings. There is no fun in shooting down a spaceship or killing the final zombie when he knows the game is over at that point. His friends can attest to the fact that he’ll buy nearly every game that comes out, but rarely play them for over an hour.
Look to Dustin for insight into the World of Warcraft and other MMOs. He will also be providing News, Reviews (of games he’s likely spent an hour on and then quit) and Previews (of games he intends to buy solely to later be disappointed and lay them to rest in his vault of unbeaten games). Dustin will be your guiding light if you think you want to play something, but don’t feel like investing your time. He’ll handle that for you and you’ll likely both be better people in the end.

Beau – Webmaster / Contributing Editor
Beau Blackwell is a fan of RPG, RTS, soccer, and fantasy/historical games. In other words, a gigantic nerd (figuratively, not literally). In addition to nerdy video games, Beau also paints figures and plays tabletop wargames like Warhammer and Warmachine, so the nerdiness extends to the physical world, as well. Frankly, he’s lucky he ever found a woman to marry him.
Beau will mostly write sporadic rants and starry-eyed reminiscences about the golden days of gaming, including the time he scored 78 goals in one game with Teemu Selanne in NHL 94. He also writes at his own blog, www.theidlelife.com, on a lazy, unreliable basis, so expect the same on MMOMFG.

Cam – Graphic Designer / Contributing Editor
Cam Todd likes video games. He doesn’t care about beating games. He doesn’t care about being the best. And he doesn’t care what score a game got at crappyratingsystem.com. What he does care about is whether or not a game is enjoyable. Maybe it’s got a great game play system. Maybe the story is super cool or funny. Or maybe it’s just really nice to look at. The point is, games should be fun, and if they aren’t fun then they should at least get you drunk or something.
In regards to MMOMFG, Cam will typically be writing articles pertaining to classic gaming, casual gaming, and art and graphics in gaming from the standpoint of an artist. Look to him for serious opinions about games from a person who doesn’t take games so seriously. Cam is also responsible for all artwork and logo design done on the site.

Brandon – MMO aficionado / Contributing Editor
Brandon Todd is fan of all games, but he mostly enjoys games which can be enjoyed over many hundreds of hours of gameplay. He is first and foremost an MMO gamer, and the only thing he loves more than World of Warcraft is complaining about his terrible luck in World of Warcraft to his best friend Dustin. He also enjoys being slaughtered mercilessly in the online shooter Call of Duty. Brandon currently holds the title of King of the World, due to his dominating record against Dustin in NCAA College Football.
Brandon has many hobbies outside of gaming, including but not limited to watching football, yelling at the TV because of football, yelling at Dustin because of football, looking at guns, buying guns, shooting guns, shooting things with guns, and reading Harry Potter books. Brandon will lend his considerable intellect to writing about the MMO industry including a weekly column on World of Warcraft.

Andrew – Senior Editor
Andrew Karl is an avid fan of RPG, survival horror, and action/adventure games who constantly struggles with a social-life-destroying, carpel-tunnel-inducing addiction to FIFA. Andrew’s two loves in life are football (alright, soccer….asshole) and video games. When these two hobbies meet in the unholy matrimony that is FIFA Ultimate Team and FIFA Manager Mode, Andrew becomes a moleman afraid of sun, females, and vegetables.
Expect Andrew to cover News, Reviews, Previews, as well as Retro Gaming, and assorted gaming-related entertainment odds and ends. Oh and also look out for whatever the hell else Andrew wants to write about. One thing Andrew will promise is this: he will never, EVER cover anything WoW or MMO related…unless it’s something that makes fun of said game/genre. Good talk, see ya out there.

Daniel – Ninja Master (intern)
Daniel Weber definitely has a problem with gaming; it’s too deep in his blood. He plays them every day like clockwork, much to his girlfriend’s ire. He will definitely cheat in a game if given the opportunity to be sneaky. Like your loot? Don’t drop it in front of him; they don’t call him a ninja for nothin’! As an avid gamer, he is prone to giving very blunt opinions on games; if he doesn’t like your crappy game, he’s gonna tell ya! Oh, and ironically he hates other cheaters.
Expect Weber-San to be the one to look to if you need a no-BS take on a game you’re interested in. Also, get ready for him to manipulate you into playing whatever game he wants you to play with him, he knows your weaknesses. He will be handling any news/reviews/etc. that the other MMOMFG geniuses toss at him, HAI YA!
