About Christopher Adams

Chris is a gamer, writer, actor, journalist, and listmaker. Mostly, though, he is a gamer. Playing videogames since he could hold a controller, there are few things he has more reverence for, and after graduating from college in 2024, he decided to find a career in the thing thats captured his interest for as long as he can remember. In the meantime though, he's been a reporter and editor since college, covering politics, human interests, movies, and music. His gaming expertise lies mostly in the Destiny, FalloutHalo, and Borderlands franchises, and the lore of all Fromsoft games (even Kingsfield.) He also a soft spot for tactical shooters, mostly Ready or Not and Arma.
