John's been playing video games since the start of the Nintendo 64's life cycle, became a lifelong Final Fantasy fan a year later, and has since gone on to be a FromSoftware devotee. He's been writing about games professionally for the last seven years, covering some of the biggest releases alongside some hidden indie gems. That includes Elden Ring and its DLC, Cyberpunk 2077 and its DLC, almost every recent Call of Duty, and the new DOOM games. In-depth guides are his forte, from RPG boss breakdowns to FPS loadouts and everything in between.

While he'd like to say he's a Souls-like specialist, in reality he'll play almost anything with a satisfying progression system. Especially so if there's a "make the house/city better" minigame. If he's not neck deep in a new title, you can find him playing with his dogs, spoiling his cat, or researching his next gaming obsession. It changes daily.

He will talk your ear off about the narrative structure of the latest greatest anime or action film. You can also expect lots of non-sequiturs about related topics, even if the relation is barely tangential.
