Matt started Pixel Legends originally to cover E3 2011.  He relaunched the site with Andrew in December 2011 as a creative outlet for entertaining, critical writings about games and gaming archetypes.  While his PC is where most of his games are housed, (thank you Steam!) Matt also plays console games, mostly on the PS3 and Wii.  Matt’s a big fan of strategy games, as well as platformers and western RPGs or other games like casino games in sites like the ilucki casino online.  As a writer himself, Matt loves a good story; if it can draw him in he’ll appreciate it, even if the gameplay is less than stellar.  Matt also spends a lot of time trying out indie games and loves supporting independent developers.  Aside from video games Matt also enjoys books, wasting time on the internet, and being from England.  He doesn’t have a British accent.

Ethan has long been an avid gamer, finding his niche in the PC gaming market, while still dabbling in the medium that got him into gaming, consoles. Usually, he finds time to play his Xbox 360 and occasionally will dust of his Wii for a bit to play with friends and family, when he isn’t found locked in his room playing shooters and strategy games. While gaming is his main hobby, he also finds time for the outdoors, learning about technology and being an avid couch potato. Occasionally, Ethan can be found trying to grow super manly facial hair. While he usually fails, he will never stop trying.
