make their way into the convention center. Paul and Tim split up as they walk to their designated booth spaces. Within moments, Paul is setting up his booth featuring some pieces of his fantastic artwork. This is certainly not the first convention that Paul, the original Mortal Kombat artist, and illustrator, has been at, but the B.N. Video Game Con will soon be a special one for him.

From the moment he touched an Intellivision controller in 1985, Mike knew that he had experienced something incredible in the world of video games that would shape him for the rest of his life. From that point forward, he would make it his mission to experience video games from every console generation going forward. Eventually, he would become obsessed with magazines that wrote about the games he loved, and it would inspire him to start writing about games himself in 1998 for various local media outlets. Always looking for an opportunity to branch out, Mike eventually coded the foundation of a website that would ultimately morph into Gamer Logic Dot Net, an independent video game site that continues to cover modern and classic video game today. Additional, Mike composes music for indie games under his other alias "Unleaded Logic"
