About Jake Buchalter
Jacob Buchalter is a full-time writer, contract writer, and all-around creative who truly cares a bit too much about pop culture media, art, and all things gaming.
Jacob is also a perfectionist to his own detriment, as he'll almost always at least triple-check any information he puts into any article to make sure it's correct. After all, people who get into games love having that knowledge in their brain, accessible at any time. Additionally, Jacob Buchalter is an absolute lore fiend when it comes to any IP, and will almost always have all the lore in his brain ready to gush about if ever given the excuse.
He is also someone with a relatively diverse background in the creative industry, as can be seen in his portfolio website. Jacob has a deep love and respect for any artist in the gaming industry, especially in regard to character design or UI/UX design, since he has illustration, design, and motion graphic experience himself.
Some of his favorite games include Enter the Gungeon, the Infamous franchise, Assassin's Creed 2, Hades, Bastion, Transistor, Remnant 2, Bloodborne, and Street Fighter 6.
