About Shawn Wilken

Born into a world of gaming and sports, it was only natural to become an avid fan of both and eventually tie the two together in perfect harmony. Father of 3 and happily married since 2006, and a sports analytics junkie.

Favorite Anime

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Berserk, Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Death Note, Vinland Saga, and way too many more to list.

Favorite Games

Anything Pokemon related, Tekken/Street Fighter series, Final Fantasy series, and the occasional EA Sports game (NHL series, mostly).

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Finished second in my first ever Pokemon TCG tournament, winning a $100 voucher in store, where I purchased the pack of cards which unveiled a holo Venusaur.
