Josh Kramer
Associate Editor
Bio: Having a father as a submarine Chief in the US Navy, Josh Kramer spent four of the most impressionable years of his youth growing up in Japan. It wasn’t long before he was gaming on a Famicom (Japanese NES) with fellow Japanese kids in the neighborhood, thus kicking off what is sure to be a lifelong addiction to video games. Since then he has owned nearly every console ever created, his favorites being the Super Nintendo, Dreamcast and Xbox. Josh manages to spend some time away from playing games to pursue other interests such as weight lifting (his #1 hobby outside of gaming), writing, studying Japanese culture and sharing time with his longtime girlfriend, Rebecca.
