Tony "ChaingunPope" Wilson



The founder of the podcast, Tony started the show in the fall of 2008, though no episodes aired until February 2009. This is the era Tony and Riley refer to as the "old school show." Inspired by the now-defunct Video Game Show and Sarcastic Gamer, Tony founded the podcast while simultaneously starting Gametwerp.com. The website lasted only a few months, but the show lived on, eventually finding a home at Front Towards Gamer.

Tony lives in Maryland and grew up during the Nintendo 64 era. Despite being the founder and host of the show, he is actually the youngest member. He is currently the Reviews Editor at Front Towards Gamer and a freelancer for GamesRadar. He has contributed to A Cartoon Christmas and appeared briefly on Laser Time. He also hosted the short-lived show Across the Pond.
