BinaryMessiah was born in Anaheim, California. At 5, he moved to Casper, Wyoming for 5 years where gaming was the heart of his childhood. His parents couldn’t afford to buy games so most were rented. At 10 he moved back to California in sunny Oxnard. In 2008, right out of high-school, he met his current wife, then girlfriend, and now mother of his two children who is also a gamer.

At 29 he moved to the rainy city of Kent, Washington just south of Seattle and is now a ortho/trauma nurse after working security for 10 years. In 2026 he moved to the more suburban and rural Spanaway area and is currently working on his bachelor’s degree in nursing.

His love for games started at the bright age of just 3 when his cousin played Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis during a babysitting excursion. After seeing Scorpion’s Fatality for the first time, he lost his mind and HAD to do it too. Ever since, BinaryMessiah has owned dozens of consoles throughout his life including the original PlayStation, Super Nintendo, original GameBoy, Nintendo 64, PS2, PSP, and many others. BinaryMessiah also loves Chinese food, spending time with his lovely fiancé, and tinkering with mods on PC. He is an avid game collector from the newest releases to timeless retro treasures.

The website was born in 2009 out of just the need to get thoughts about games out into the world and share his experience. The idea of not modernizing the layout was due to the increasing death of game magazines and websites turning to AI writers and being corporatized and losing their magic and spark that made them what they are. Game sites like GameRevolution, GameSpot, GameSpy, and many others are gone by the wayside in turn for ad revenue and profit. I wanted to make an oasis in a sea of a corporate hellscape that is the new gaming industry and journalism as a whole. My site is for gamers by a gamer and will always stay that way. I do not make any money off of this site (I have never made a cent) and do this for the gaming community as a whole. I pay for the domain out of pocket (about $80 a year). It’s my small contribution in the massive landscape of video games.
