Ryan is GiN's MMORPG specialist. Video and PC games have been a part of his life forever. Ryan's first video game console was an Atari 2600 and the first totally sucky game he remembers was Pac-Man for the Atari 2600. Ryan has always had an intrinsic critical eye towards games. His day job is web design and development (another passion of his) And when he's not playing games or doing web work Ryan loves to snowboard, watch movies, and drink beer! :) Ryan says that he is honored to be GiN MMORPG specialist. He's been playing these games in one form or another since the BBS days with Usurper, Elite and The Pit. Then when Windows 95 made Internet easy to access he moved onto games like Ultima Online and Meridian 59.
