About Alyssa Shearrow

Alyssa Shearrow is a Commerce Writer from the United States. She is an experienced PC builder, with a background working in System Integration and a focus on water-cooling. She's the "go-to" friend for PC advice, troubleshooting, or helping people determine the best products to suit their needs.

Alyssa has had a love for video games since she was a kid, playing many summers away on her Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Xbox. Since then, she has cultivated a love for all things pop culture and gaming.
 

Favorite Games

A bit of a trick question type of answer— When discussing games, one of the first things that comes to mind is D&D 5e. I am a huge fan of TTRPGs, but D&D is my favorite. I love the experience and connections I have made through D&D and its community.

Now, if we're talking about video games... my favorites boil down to three big titles: Baldur's Gate 3, Dragon Age, and Portal.
 

Industry Focus

I enjoy writing about all things related to gaming and PC hardware. In addition, I love to curate the gaming aesthetic by finding the best way to enhance the space and my home gaming system. As an avid PC builder and enthusiast, I spend much of my free time modding PCs and researching. 

Favorite Console

I am torn between choosing the Gameboy Advanced, which was a beloved console for me, and the Xbox 360. Many hours were spent playing on both of these consoles, and it ultimately led me to become the person I am today. Without the impactful experiences that these "retro consoles" provided to me, I would have never discovered my love for PC hardware and gaming.
