Bio:
After more than four years at revered gaming news and review site GameSpot.com, Rich Gallup
answered the siren call of his native New England, traveling 3,000 miles to cross over from
game coverage to game production. As a member of GameSpot's video crew, Rich created and
hosted shows including the HotSpot, On the Spot, Button Mashing, Tournament TV and Time
Trotters, and helmed countless hours of live events coverage such as E3. Before GameSpot,
Rich worked in QA for THQ, was one of ten finalists for Nintendo's Eternal Darkness Film
Competition, interned on the Ken Burns documentary Jazz, and held the requisite job for
any film major: video store clerk.

Drawn to games ever since his parents said he was too young to play with the giant plastic
revolver that came with their Pong system, Rich hopes to one day help kids around the world
subvert authority via entertainment. When not hard at work, he can be found playing hockey,
poring over fantasy sports data, and campaigning to make the Fluffernutter the official
sandwich of Massachusetts.
