Andrew Gerdes
Andrew is a lot of things: film buff, game critic, writer, music addict, junk food blogger, beer enthusiast, and is known to be a pretty cool dude. He has written for Cynosure Gaming and now Cliqist and would love to make a legit career out of it. He also has a pretty irrational love for Silent Hill 2 and P.T. and horror in general so you know he's a smart guy.
