John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time.
His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News.
As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.

Hey everyone. I realize looking back on my play that I made a couple strategic mistakes. We like to, or at least I do, show a first run through gameplay so that we can experience the joy of playing a new game along with viewers, so mistakes will of course be made. I’ve gone back and played again a few times since then and did slightly better (got to day seven) but then also got dice killed on day two or three. The game is brutal, but the challenge is fun.
