About Jake Valentine

Born in the Boston area and currently residing in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jake is extremely passionate about his hobbies, his favorite being, of course, gaming. He graduated in May 2011 from Northern Kentucky University with a Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Media Broadcasting and has been writing since 2004. He's never afraid to voice his opinion, whether its defending Blizzard's design choices in World of Warcraft, or trying to show people why the latest highly hyped games aren't all that good. You should follow him on Twitter, or a kitty will die.
