Patriel Manning
Video Director Twitter:@PatrielManning
	Television programs from the 1980s were traditionally filled with speeding vehicles, explosions, and Mr. T. It's no surprise, then, that Patriel, having been born in the Ugly Decade, is obsessed with cars, likes fire, and frequently pities the fool in all of us.

Cole Smith
Senior Contributing Writer
	Cole Smith has been playing video games before you were born. Unless, of course, you're older than him, which would mean that it's probably past your bedtime. Cole is a professional musician, DJ, TV producer, videographer, writer, inventor, and businessman. He also thinks he's quite the comedian. He also thinks he's Canadian. Our Editor has to take the "eh's" out of his sentences.

When he's not writing articles for Cheat Code Central, he can be found entering and running local gaming tournaments, traveling the convention circuit to participate in gaming-related panels, or performing his own brand of stand-up comedy. His favorite genres include RPGs, action games, fighting games, and any sort of clever indie title.

Contributing Writer Twitter:@RAVerBruggen
	By day, Robert VerBruggen is a lowly editor at a politics magazine, but by night, he runs across rooftops in 15th Century Italy, kicks turtle shells at monsters in the sewer, gets into weirdly two-dimensional fistfights, and mows down hundreds of bad guys with guns that seem awkwardly suspended in midair. He has been chronicling his heroic exploits at Cheat Code Central since 2008.

	With a love second only to his family, video games have been Sean's obsession since before the industry's rebirth in the 1980s. Always looking to squeeze a few minutes of game time in while performing his duties as a stay-at-home dad, it was only during a career transition that he thought of writing about video games. With an innate creative mind honed even further by his university Major in Theatre, Sean has found the perfect professional outlet for his favorite pastime, and is thankful to Cheat Code Central for allowing his work to shine.
