Roly Reyes, Contributor (Miami, FL)

Rolando Reyes — you may know him better as Roly — is a young lad born in Cuba who migrated to Florida with his family at the young and impressionable age of 4.

It was around this time that he met a neighbor who was priveleged enough to own a Super Nintendo. Roly grabbed the gamepad and the rest was more or less history. He loved it, and as time went on he became more and more of what we now call a hardcore gamer. Spending hours upon hours playing games each day until the sun came up, posting on video game message boards, and getting his face (verbally) owned because of his die-hard dedication to Kingdom Hearts.

Roly has a vice (as do 10 million others at the time of this post), and it goes by the name of World of Warcraft — Hunlockpalashaman for the win. He loves it and hates it, all at the same time, but it makes for great entertainment for when a certain 360 red rings.

He’s currently a proud owner of a PS2, 360, DS, and 8800 powered PC. Favorite genres include World of Warcraft and FPS’. When not playing games Roly’s pretty chill. You can probably catch him watching Lost or listening to music. His biggest goal in life is to be a paid video game journalist.
