Who are we? OK... you ASKED!

	Curmudgeon: Joe Santulli DP founder and slavemaster Joe Santulli has been playing video games since the original retail version of Ralph Baer's Odyssey appeared under his Christmas tree in the early 70's. Since that time he's been hopelessly addicted. He claims to own just about every system - domestic and import - that there is, and well over 10,000 unique games. Time NOT spent playing video games is dedicated to writing about playing video games. When he's not doing that, he's thinking about writing about video games. It's a sad life really. EMAIL
	Editor-in-Chief & Forum Mod: Dave Giarrusso Yeah, I know what you're thinking, and trust me, I'm just as afraid of guys who wear their baseball caps backwards as YOU are. Dave's a man of many talents. He's responsible for much of the art in DP since issue 40 and in 2003 took over production of the DP bi-monthly 'zine. He's a fan of just about every system and a whiz in the arcades. When he's not playing the wildly successful coin-op Gladiator, you might be able to get in touch with him at this EMAIL
	Senior Writer & System Admin: Larry Anderson Sure, he gets along a little too well with Pokemon characters but that really speaks volumes about his interpersonal relationships as well! OK not really. We've known Larry for ages and in 2002 he really stepped up to take over the hosting of the DP website. A word of advice: don't say anything along the lines of "did someone pour molasses into the server, Larry" or he will very possibly fire laser beams out of his normally dormant third eye. To contact said third eye, EMAIL it here.
	Senior Writer: Sean Kelly Sean showed up here one day completely unannounced and certainly uninvited. He's pretty much a regular at DP only because no one has the balls to ask him to leave. Editor of the wildly successful ROMpage column, Sean is also the producer of the DP CD-ROM and a big fan of PC strategy games.
	Senior Writer: John Hardie Don't let that friendly, "I'm your friend" friendly face of a friend fool you. Beneath his warm exterior lies a soul as black as the blackest thing you've ever seen. "Big Daddy" John Hardie is an Atari guy to the bone, and if you zig when he zags - or dare mention a game system that isn't somehow obliquely related to Atari - you're dead meat. John once told me: "if I don't get a beer over here in two minutes I'm gonna go Pulp FIction on this place". Do you dare contact him? If so, here's his EMAIL
	Staff Writer: Al Backiel Yes, Al is THE Al from our "Wacky World of AL" column. Al has a real knack for seeing things the rest of us don't, like the time he saw into the fourth dimension and predicted the Gulf War. He's big on Atari (it's been documented he had one of the largest 2600 VCS "originals" collections in the world) and men's socks. He's also the current editor of the "2600 Connection" newletter. If you love him... truly love him, just tell him so. EMAIL
	Staff Writer: Don Evanoff Is this David Hasselhoff's missing twin? Don has been spotted around beaches with his Neo-Geo Pocket and on lifeguard chairs thumbing through his incredible Dreamcast collection. But Don's not all sinewy limbs and muscle mass. He's also an avid Intellivision fan. Just don't bring up that Intellivision compilation on Playstation or he's likely to kick sand in your face. Even from the beach, Don gets EMAIL
	Staff Writer: Tony Bueno BuenoVision! That's all I have to say about this fine young man. EMAIL
	Staff Writer: Ian Baronofsky Ian is now "On the Prowl" with Digital Press. A long-time eBay nemesis, Ian and Santulli share a common fascination for the out-of-the-ordinary in classic gaming. He has the best Brazilian Dactar collection we've ever seen. And no, Brazilian Dactars are NOT Doctor Who characters. EMAIL
	Staff Writer: Matt Paprocki After writing the fanzine "Gaming Source" for nearly a year and a half, Matt quickly realized that getting the damn things out wasn't exactly cheap thanks to the corporate Nazi's over at Office Max. Instead, Matt found the light that is Digital Press. This insane game reviewer has contributed reviews for nearly every console featured on the site and still continues to this day with no end in sight, making Joe's life a living hell, forcing him to update every week. Disagree with him? EMAIL
	Production: Liz Santulli One-time showgirl Liz Nardella became Liz Santulli in 1992, and with the vows of marriage also came vows of undying loyalty to this publication (bwahahaha!). A superb fighting game player (try to beat her at MK2!), Liz is a fan of Mel Gibson, Mariah Carey, and the 60's horror/soap Dark Shadows. EMAIL
	Site Columnist: Bill Kunkel If you don't know who he is by now, turn your computer off, unplug your phone, sell your TV, and unsubscribe to any newspapers or magazines, because you'd pretty much have to live in a cave, completely disconnected from the world to not know who he is. For those who are left, this is the Game Doctor, from the famed pages of Electronic Games magazine. After you compose yourself, you can EMAIL him
	Site Columnist: Kristine Roper Who says women don't play video games? After having written extensive FAQs for the Atari 2600 games E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Riddle of the Sphinx, the offers can pouring in. Unfortunately, none of the offers from DP included a monetary offer, but yet she signed up anyway. Now THAT'S a true videogame fan. EMAIL
	Site Columnist & Forum Mod: Tim Snider DP's friendly neighborhood 'Sniderman' is a man of many interests. He keyboards a videogame-related column here, collects stuff (videogame related), attends shows (videogame related), sells merchandise (videogame related), and even hosts DP's annual CGE game show (which is, oddly enough, videogame related). Good thing he's friendly, otherwise he might be labeled some kind of unfriendly kook (of the videogame-related type).
	Site Columnist: Greg Wilcox Did you know Greg's forum name is "geelw"? Did you know he loves obscure video games? Did you know he's deadly with a sword? And did you know he writes a column called "Did You Know?"?
	Site Columnist & Forum Mod: Earl Green Aside from being a moderator in DP's untamed outback (also sometimes referred to here as the "forum"), where he goes by the handle "phosphor dot fossils", Earl also writes the collector's-friendly column, Invading Spaces, where his advice is no doubt derived of his unlocking the secrets of Doctor Who's Tardis.
	Site Columnist & Easter Egg Punk: Scott Stilphen Another guy who can't wear his hat normally. When he's not out "adventuring", he can be found running around on the site, adding to the ever-increasing Easter egg and Interview sections, amongst others. He's fast, but you can track him down via EMAIL
	Site Columnist: Adam Gallant Writes the Time to Kill column.
	Site Columnist & Forum Mod: Rob O'Hara Rob "flack" is a gamer's gamer, who has a gift for articulating in his column, Extended Play, experiences that all us non-articulate gamers can relate to. In the DP forum, he walks softly and carries a badge ... and an even bigger gun. In all serious, he's as nice in person as he is in cyberspace.
	Site Columnist: William Cassidy Writes the Found & Lost column.
	Site Columnist: Leonard Herman Len is simply Digital Press' secret agent historian. Knowledge is his weapon, and let me tell you, folks... he's deadly accurate! When not writing for little 'ole us, he's out doing book tours and signing autographs for desperate groupies (or was it touring for desperate groupies and signing books?). Who knows for sure, but we know that he's authored the well-respected 'Phoenix: The Rise & Fall of Videogames', and 'ABC to the VCS' books. Fear him. Or EMAIL him
