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: Travis Baum
Location: Atlanta, GA
Bio/Profile: The newest, youngest, and most handsome member of InDis hails from New Orleans, Louisiana and was raised all over the Gulf Coast from Chalmette, LA to Biloxi, MS. His sign is on the Virgo/Leo cusp, but forgoes long walks on the beach and plays video games instead. He moved to GA with his family to strike it rich, but ended up owning a Sonic Drive-In instead. After accepting the fact that he is at fault for the fattening of America, he joined VGEvo.com and soon after met up with the original InDis crew….. and everything else is; as they say: when in Rome.

Bio/Profile: Just your typical nerd with a passion for audio production. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was five and this addiction lead me to VGEVO.

Name: Chance CarmichaelLocation: Houston, TX
Bio/Profile: I’ve been around technology pretty much all my life, so it wasn’t much of a surprise when I got into gaming at a pretty early age. I started as a console gamer and eventually fell in love with RPGs. In the late 90s I turned into a PC gamer when I picked up Everquest. I was pretty hardcore into the MMORPG genre, though I occasionally played games outside of it. In 2008 I found myself not liking the way the MMORPG genre was going and slowly got tired of it, so I picked up an Xbox 360. Since then I’ve picked up multiplayer shooters as my go-to gaming fun, but I play pretty much anything and everything. I’m pretty vocal about my opinions in gaming, and enjoy industry related discussions and hearing different perspectives. I eventually want to be a game designer and I am currently trying to work my way into the development side of the gaming industry (having recently graduated college). Outside of gaming I’m still a huge nerd. I enjoy Anime, Tabletop RPGs, terrible science fiction movies, and internet humor.

Name: Nathan VelliquetteLocation: Atlanta, GA
Bio/Profile: According to my mom, I was potty trained by sitting on my training seat playing Super Mario Bros. Not sure if that’s something I want to confess, but I think it was a pretty defining moment of my intimacy with video games. I’ve pretty much owned every system to date but due to being a poor college student, it makes it tough to keep up with the times. However, I am madly in love with my computer and we’ve been going strong for about three years now in our gaming experiences. Being overly exposed to so many games, I am very critical of them and have a hard time justifying my expenditures to myself. Having said this, Team InDis keeps me in line and makes sure I don’t go into a violent ranting tirade about the even the most minor of flaws. I found InDis through a purely lucky endeavor. I was browsing Protomen’s website and saw they had come to Atlanta for InDisFest not long after I had seen them at the Star Bar in Little Five Points. Inquiring on who the hell was blessed with Protomen’s presence, I discovered the InDis website. Reading that it was based out of Atlanta, I knew it was destiny for me to contribute my many, wonderful talents to the website, so I contacted the team. And after a long arduous set of inhumanely painful tests, I was admitted to join the elite.
