About Christopher Padilla
A Bachelor of Science graduate from San Jose State University, Chris is a lifelong gamer who's trying to figure out his way through the games journo biz. He cut his teeth in the newsroom, with most of his bylines consisting of political articles, but always the fire of a gamer burned in his heart.
Chris got his first gaming gig in The Gamer as a List Writer and now he also writes guides. He took the meticulous fact-checking of the newsroom with him, making sure that what he writes is as accurate as possible. This often means replaying parts of a game multiple times, and checking multiple sources, just to make sure everything is right.
With 150+ articles under his belt and counting, he's got an eye on the future even as he crafts article to assist and entertain his fellow gamers. Not bad for what started as the longest and least thought out scheme to get into E3 (RIP). Never did get into E3, though.
