Sean McCarter – Editor-In-Chief – Follow
Hairy, sweary and dangerous to know, Sean is the PS3 playing, Planet-gazing multiplayer whirlwind of the QOTPA. Whether he’s hurtling beyond the speed of sound on Wipeout HD or blowing faces off in Team Fortress 2, Sean is out with a mission of mass destruction bordering on the psychotic. Most well known for his random outburst of violent profanity, arguing with Darren and Mark over the finer points of gaming, probing the galaxy for answers to the big questions (“when will the Combine strike, and if so can I have a job?”) or simply being more masculine than Ally (but not Debz), Sean is the hairy, hyper-aggressive manbot that Fembots just love to love!
Mark Gibson – Editor, Producer – Follow
The best analogy I can bring to describe Mark is he’s like Green Lantern…only without the Power Ring, or the rippling biceps, or the plethora of super allies and villains. He is however allergic to the colour Yellow. Ok, so he’s not really much like Green Lantern at all, however he is a fount of gaming knowledge and gossip. If it’s happening in the big wide world of computer gaming, then Mark has no doubt found it, processed it, written 15 essays about it and then decided he’s not all that bothered about it. Unless of course its Dead or Alive, Mark loves him some jiggle-physics! Masterfully hosts Headset Abuse every week as we’re all way too moronic to do it ourselves!
Darren Fotheringham – Editor, Producer – Follow
Darren is leet-core. No seriously, I once saw him play World of Warcraft for 78 hours solid before flexing his man-muscles and utterly destroying Resident Evil 5 in one sitting. The MMORPG-playing, Horus Heresy quoting, logical Yin to the off-the-wall Yang of the insanity that is his fellow Queens, Darren will happily subscribe to the rules of causality, numerics and physics if it means he can platinum more PS3 games before he has to do something constructive. Can mostly be found filming and editting our video exploits, as well as joining in! And yes, his penis really is THAT big!
Dave Rose – Reviewer, Article Writer, Podcast Regular – Follow
Many so-called games journalists get by simply being angry at the world of gaming, they sneer, they bitch, they moan and they expect people to love them despite their scrooge-ish demeanour. Please find enclosed then the opposing factor to these reviewers, the humble Dave Rose. Deeply in love with gaming, Dave is willing to play anything, and I mean ANYTHING, just to experience and review it. Eternally cheerful (even when furious), beardy enough to give both Sean and Darren a run for their hairy-money, and a rock-hard bitch of a Ryu player, Dave knows gaming is fun and isn’t afraid to show it!
Ally Hay – Reviewer, Article Writer, Podcast Regular – Follow
The most spritely member of the QOTPA, Ally brings some much needed youthful excuberence to the otherwise ancient and grouchy QOTPA. The hyperactive, talkative Ally can always be relied on for an opinion on gaming, from the thoughtful to the downright bizarre! When he’s not in the midst of gaming, he can usually be found arguing with Mark, snogging Dave for kicks, and desperately trying to find his ID to keep Sean off his back. Has a surprising amount of PC games for someone who doesn’t game on a PC…
Debs McKeown – Art, Reviewer – Follow
She small, she’s cute, she’s a ball of positively-charged gaming exuberance, she’s Debz and she’s here to bring a ray of sunshine to the QOTPA. She is also the MILF of the QOTPA, literally The Mum I’d Like to Frag in T2 (what were you thinking we meant?). Lover of JRPG’s (much to the chagrin of Mark), bizzare simulator games and all-round Steam junkie, Debz is the second (or third if you count Ally) female cog in the great QOTPA review machine. You’ll love her, honest!
Stewart Loudon – Hardware Writer, Reviewer – Follow
It was rumoured that there was a race of people who had become so dependent on the internet that they actually fused with it on a molecular level, creating an almighty race of super-geeks, hopelessly addicted to the lifegiving overflow of the world wide web. If ever there was proof that such a person exists, then good old Stewart is surely it. Never without his trusty iPhone and a WiFi connection, Stu is the tooled up PC whiz of the QOTPA, whose two major weaknesses are coffee and unhealthy amounts of Hentai! Oh, and he has a mullet, I know, in this day and age…
