Stage Clear is essentially a group of friends who love video games and alcohol. Our goal here is to produce a bunch of fun and interesting independent material themed around video games. We're not here just to tell you our opinions or slag off games in a comedic manner- we love games and want to have some fun and (hopefully) entertain.

Perrin

Richard Perrin made an independent video game called the white chamber about four years ago and has been running into walls ever since trying to get another one finished. In the mean time he's been making a living building websites for the man.

You can follow him on twitter and until recently he was an occasional blogger, rambling about video game storytelling. He loves premium Bourbon whisky mixed with Coke and some ice.

Favourite Games : Fallout 3, Silent Hill 2, StarCraft, Super Mario Galaxy, Metal Gear Solid 2, Radiant Silvergun, Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy VII, Call of Duty 4.

Rob

Rob Fahey used to work for Eurogamer, setting up their business site GamesIndustry.biz and then editing it for five long, financial report filled years. He still writes GamesIndustry.biz' weekly soapbox columns, but these days he's a carefree freelance journalist, filing pieces for Eurogamer and The Times, while also studying for a Japanese degree.

He occasionally blogs at A New Challenger Appears and is on twitter as robfahey. Although he's partial to strong imported beers and the occasional fruity cider, he's most often found in the embrace of a cocktail.

Favourite Games : World of Warcraft, Project Zero 2, Silent Hill, Counter-Strike, Call of Duty 4, Final Fantasy X & XII, Chrono Trigger, Persona 3, Metal Gear Solid, Starcraft, ICO, Ridge Racer Type 4.
