I’m Collin Junkin, a writer at Synth Potato covering reviews, news, and anything gaming-related.
Most of my commentary happens on X, where I’ve built an audience through regular posts about the industry. One of my posts has also been featured on Kotaku.
I’m from and currently living in Dallas, Texas. When I’m not covering gaming, you’ll find me enjoying a new film, binging a new series, or watching the NFL — Go Cowboys!
Wesley Eaton
Wesley Eaton is a husband, father, and RPG fanatic with an audience on X where he documents his current video game playthroughs, posts reviews, and provides commentary on industry news and trends.
When he's not interacting online or catching up on his long gaming backlog, Wesley loves to spend time with his family in Texas, fellowship with his church, listen to metalcore loudly in the car, and incessantly quote The Princess Bride.

Bryan Arivett
I’m Bryan Arivett, a 90’s kid who’s been following video games for over two decades and playing them even longer.
In 2019 I decided to use my experience to create content I thought others would find value in. I went by the alias “Sacred Icon” for many years, but these days you can find me ruminating about my favorite games on X as “Last Chalice.”
If I’m not playing the latest releases it’s likely because I’m rewatching The Lord of the Rings, listening to Deftones or spending time with my family in the hills of Appalachia. It’s a pleasure to be here writing for you.

Roland Martinez
My earliest memories of a controller are with Call of Duty: World at War and watching my father play Lost Planet (which we need a reboot of). Since then, I've played hundreds of games, both good and bad, and now I combine my love of writing with my passion for gaming. These days you can find me playing The Elder Scrolls Online, indulging in manga, or probably getting carried by you in a game.

TimoReviews
There’s no feeling better than rolling credits on a game and hopping on to start writing a review…
You’ll find my honest thoughts on videogames on here.
I’m a huge fan of third person games, action/adventure and stealth to be exact, most of my reviews will be focused on those genres!
