I've always loved gaming ever since I got my first Atari 2600 with Combat. I'm pretty sure I always will too. I do work full-time outside of JPP. It does seem like JPP is another full-time job at times. I'm very happy at our growth rate and am looking forward to reaching JPP's full potential. We got a long way to go folks, so hold on! It's going to be one hell of a ride!

What makes little ol' Arya qualified to be your ferryman across the river of imagination towards film nirvana? He doesn't know either, but what he does know is that he likes to entertain people with his thoughts on the movies that fist-pounds his geeky heart (so far, it's working). He also wants to assure you that he doesn't always speak in third person. Arya likes to spend his Sundays with hot cocoa, a good book, long walks at the beach, and imaginary fights between Batman and Jesus in which the outcome should be darn obvious.

Editor - Music

Music is my passion and I tend to listen to anything and everything, as long as it's good. Other passions abound though; including movies, books, and sports. I tend to hold true to my opinion that Jimmy Eat World's Clarity is the greatest album made, and Chuck Berry is the father of rock and roll.

Editor - Games

Don't be fooled by my title, while I love games and everything about them, you'll still see my name popping up in the Music section all the time. I am currently in my second year of Boycotting B.E.T. and have no plans to stop until they start showing Real Hip-hop again. Or at least ban Soulja Boy. I'm a pretty avid gamer, you can catch me on Xbox live playing Halo 3. Just pray you don't catch me on the other team.

Playing games has taken a large percentage of time and most certainly will kill me some day. A good cause then! Music, movies and games is why I ended up here. If you don't see me in the forums you are blind. And if not.... I must be dead.

My name is Sean. I am a musician, gamer, movie lover and soon to be married guy. I love most types of music. I say most because there are singers like 'Hannah Montana' out there and the 'Jonas Brothers' who make music that makes me wish I had been on the same plane as Aliyah. Im a kool guy who reviews cause he can and loves feedback. If you wanna ask me anything or just call me an asshole send me a message. Holla Holla.

Joshua Coffey writes reviews more as a hobby, not an actual profession. Oddly enough, he likes writing review after review of every which game, though some suspect he actually likes the free games, and not writing them. Preposterous! Writing reviews is one of Joshua's favorite pastimes.

I feel that movies can be great in many ways. I feel that a great movie could be an artistic masterpiece or a guns-a'blazin' roller-coaster, pure magic or pure camp. There is another type of film, which I detest more than those which are horrible - Those which are mediocre, unremarkable. If I cannot form the words for why I disliked a movie, why I felt nothing for it, why I felt I shouldn't have seen it, then it has truly been a waste of everyone's money and time, including my own.

Music, movies and video games: love 'em all equally. Don't ask me to choose.

I am a man of few words and a man possessed by several demons. I am a rather talented poet and writer and I’m an avid gamer. Play with me in Gears and I’ll curse as you blow me to pieces and send my skull flying half way across the screen. For some odd reason I get better as I’m blasting rock and roll music. I detest fanboyism and loathe noobs. For the most part I’m sane, but I’ll share this with you. My favorite president is Richard M. Nixon; read whatever you want into that.

If Anders Nelson could do what he wanted all the time, he'd spend the rest of his life in high school in 1985 or 1994 (one or the other), have an awesome vinyl and comic books collection, and own the majority of the late 70s/early 80s summer blockbuster/horror renaissance on VHS. He'd also have crazy adventures like in high school films, not like in reality.

Marie Constance has a last name. Her background is in broadcast journalism, and she pays the bills working freelance for network news. Current obsessions include film & tv production, Scrabble, and longform improv. She is 23-years-old and recently chased a neighborhood ice cream truck down the street all in the name of chocolatey goodness. Gelato is okay too.

Raised by a pack of feral wolves until they insisted I attend college when I turned eighteen, I've come to find that the perceptions of "civilized" society all too frequently clash with my own.  That, and my constant biting and shitting have made for awkward moments.  So I took the path every other disheveled, savage, barely contained cauldron of seething menace does in your modern times.  I became a blogger.

Always beware setting foot into the cage of the blogger - you don't know what may set him off, and if there's no newspaper down, make sure you wear shoes.

I've been involved with games ever since my dad's friend brought over his Turbo-Grafx 16 when I was just a wee one. Sure, Keith Courage was not the best example of what the system had to offer, but it was my first taste of video games. Since then I've owned an embarrassing amount of systems and games, and have taken to dissecting them like a dead frog. And since I like to write so much, I often type up my findings in detailed reports. Some people call these "articles" or "reviews". I guess that's what they do here.

Writer

What do I do? Well, a critic is someone who can't do a creative task himself, so he/she must tear apart others who can actually do it. And since I can't play a guitar...

I will not bore you with facts about myself. Instead, I wish to share some words of wisdom. Respect mah authoritah! P.S. The ShoutBox is like Google on steroids. It's how I found all of my Age of Empires hacks.

There are those here that would like to tell you they enjoy the entertainment that movies, music, or games can bring to their and in turn your lives. Me, I like to ban people with the banstick. PS Don't search for stuff in the shoutbox.

JustPressPlay was created in 2005. When it originally formed it was a simplified forums with only a handful of users.

We are currently on our 6th design (which you are seeing now). We've tried migrating to a Web 2.0 feel and operation for the site to make things both more visually appealing to our visitors and easy to use.

The sole purpose of our existence is to provide down to earth, easy to understand reviews on games, music and movies. Almost like when you ask your most trusted friend on whether you should see that latest movie or not. Our reviews are simple to read and you will know by the end of them whether you should spend your hard earned money or not. No fancy language that requires a PhD to read.

Our staff is comprised solely of volunteers. That is until we go public and have our stock traded for $50 a share... We work hard everyday to bring you fresh content that you'd actually be interested in reading.

If you like our site and want to be more than just a casual visitor, consider registering on the site where you have access to your own blog where we can see how you feel about things!

If that doesn't appease you and you would like to possibly join our humble staff, check out the Jobs tab up top and see what positions we currently have open.

Humbly Yours,

The JustPressPlay Team
