The Faces and Names of the Nerds who Write Here
Matt “HalfBeard” Broitman – Founder, Editor, and Reviewer
Matt created the site about two years ago as creative outlet since then he has worked hard to make HalfBeard’s HUD a source of video game content you can trust and enjoy. He’s a video game nerd through and through with quite a few systems and games under his belt. His former time as a stand up comedian keeps him trying write funny and engaging articles while his passion for the medium keeps them informative as well. You can contact Matt via Steam at HalfBeard, XBOX live at “Halfbearding”, or via PSN at “Sakaar”.
Matthew “Aurabolt” Szlapka -Staff Writer
A young man looking for work in the real life, Matthew “Aurabolt” Szlapka has been immersed in videogames and gaming of all sorts since his early years of watching and listening. With a head full of Autism, and a heart filled with crispy goodness, he is willing and able to write reviews and feature articles for the world to see. While his favorite genre of gaming has-and always will be RPGs- he is vicious player of all kinds of games from all genres: FPS to Indie. He is an old-school gamer, but not adverse to a new generation…unless it involves sports games; If the playground or sports stadium isn’t playing them, why are they on his screen unless he’s watching? (In apology to nerds everywhere, he at least likes to watch sports.) He is also a hefty writer and reading, trying to write a book while also searching for more games and other media that he can enjoy…It just happens that most of it is videogames. He can’t help it, it was in his blood since childhood for “hand-eye coordination.” Please stop looking at him like that.
Michael Raston – Staff Writer
Michael Raston is a gamer in his mid twenties. After wasting most of his life playing games, he has decided to start writing about them. check out more of his ramblings at http://lowerguk.tumblr.com/ or send him an email;mraston@iinet.net.au.
Jason Shenkenfelder – Guest Writer
Born in the 1980’s, Jason was raised on a steady diet of old school Nintendo games. He has spent the last three decades amassing huge collections of games spanning more than twelve different consoles. His collection is a little like him in that it is crazy-weird and will blow your mind with nerd-tasticness. When it comes to all things retro or fringe Jason is definitely your man. Expect this author to provide nothing less than a blast from the retro past with two scoops of WTF and sometimes raisins.
