Jorge Albor joined Wikia in March of 2012, but he's been writing and podcasting about video games for many years. He studied games in college too. Frankly, it's freakish how much time he spends engaging with entertainment. No wonder he works on video game wikis.

This makes sense since he's a hopelessly addicted gamer who's been playing and writing about games as far back as he can recall. He loves music, automobiles/motorcycles, Earthbound, Dark Souls, and dark liquors. Enjoys making people laugh and disseminating funny links amongst the world.
