Name: Geoff Chorney
Location: Toronto, Canadia
Bio/Profile: Well I’m not as old as the other two geezers here at Interactive Distractions, but I have been gaming for over 20 years. I try to spread my game time equally between my 3 main consoles(360, PS3, Wii) but of course time, responsibility and lazyness sometimes get in the way. So consider myself a walking cliche……I tend to talk about videogames a lot more than I play them. When I’m not sitting in my plaid underwear drinking a beer and playing my fav game of the day some of my other interest are, basketball, the gym, music, pub crawling…….crawling on the floors of pubs and the occasional movie and no….hockey is not one of favorite pastimes….however eating whale blubber is fantastic eh.

Name: Jason Oestreicher
Location: Atlanta, GA
Bio/Profile: After crossing the threshold into middle-aged-ness, Jason is continually looking for better excuses to justify his gaming obsession. “But I’ve got to play this for the podcast, honey!” Now, if only he could justify the podcast to his wife. Having limited time for gaming, Jason brings a certain aire of “casual gamer” to the mix. He apologizes for that.
