Ronalgaming (@ronalgaming) - IT professional and passionate business executive that has been gaming since he was 5 or 6 years old. Starcraft, Diablo, World of Warcraft (MMOs in general), first person story games, and basically any RTS ever - Age of empires anyone?
MTBtrigger (@mtbtrigger / twitch.tv/mtbtrigger) - Also a lifelong gamer, started when he was four playing Mario 3 on the NES. Switched to PC gaming when he got hooked on Diablo 2 and Counter-strike in the early 2000's. Co-Owner, editor, and host of the Winner Winner PUBG Podcast.
XP Media, and subsequently the XPGaming Podcast, was born out of lunch conversations and napkin scribbles (aka discord conversations) between the two hosts - Ronalgaming and MTBtrigger.
Over the course of a few months and many 'lunch meetings' the idea to create content, support the gaming community we love, and ultimately hit the record button started to become a reality in the middle of 2019.
We love the concept of XP, leveling up, and getting better. It is also one of the most universal and inherently 'gaming' terms out there so once we said it out loud it stuck. We want to help you get better at the games you love, know more about the industry you love, all while creating a work friendly viewing and listening environment that you don't have to be nervous about listening to with anyone around (including your children).
Thanks for stopping by - we look forward to chatting and gaming with you.
-Eric (Ronal) and Mike (MTB)
