About Connor O'Keefe
Connor is a longtime writer with a degree in Digital Journalism from Endicott College. The only thing rivaling his lifelong love of the written word is his passion for video games and film. When he's not working, Connor also enjoys camping reading, working on his Warhammer army, and spending time with his family.
Favorite Movies
Joe Dante's Gremlins from 1984 is what one could call a perfect film. It's got laughs, drama, scares, amazing creature effects, and just the perfect dose of 80's nostaliga. Also one of the rare movies perfect to watch at either Halloween or Christmas.
Favorite Console
It might just be some personal nostaliga talking, but for my money, the Playstation 2 is still an unmatched console in terms of it's game library. Some very fond memories with that system and the games it had to offer.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Reaching the top five players globally as Stripe in the MultiVersus beta. A feat I'm hoping to replicate with the relaunch of the game.
