Marc DeBlasi - Founder and Editor in Chief

I am the owner and creator of Immersed Gaming. I love video games and have been playing since I was 4 years old. I love to play video games and talk about them. I love to review games and give my opinions, and I’m known for my strong debates. I’m journalism savvy, with a pretty good head for business. I had a passion to create an amazing and influential video game company, and this is where my dream becomes reality. I teamed up with some really great, loyal friends who share my passion for gaming to create what will be one of the most highly recognized video game news and entertainment companies out there. Please help us on our journey, because at the end of the day, this really is for you! You will be seeing me mostly on this website, writing the news and reviews daily. I am in direct charge of the news-blog, however I oversee and supervise the Twitter, live stream, youtube and any other medium we introduce in the future. You will also see me on the live stream and in some youtube videos occasionally.

Fabio Escobar - Co-Founder

Hello everyone, my name is Fabio and I am also a co-owner of Immersed Gaming. I have known Marc and Robert for quite awhile and we are really great friends. Video games are my life and I am a complete trophy whore. Of the three main pages, the live stream, news site and youtube channel, I will be running the youtube video portion of the company. Most of the videos will be coming from me. I first partnered with Marc and Robert when Marc asked us to be his video game team when he was a writer at a different blog. After he left, Bob and I stayed with him. We decided to make a site of our own, and this is what we have created. Come and subscribe to the youtube channel! See you there.

Jacquie D’Aria – News Writer

A bizarre twist of fate has brought me to write for Immersed Gaming and I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the site. I look forward to bringing you the news as well as some entertaining personal opinion pieces about my foray into the world of video games. Some of my favorite video game activities include eating cake with GLaDOS in Portal, being singer/guitarist/keyboardist for the band 5 More Minutes in Rock Band and I also enjoy playing the Boomer in Left for Dead because it’s pretty easy to vomit on someone.

Graham Pope – News Writer

Hey everyone, Graham here from the UK! Xbox player and game collector. I also have an appetence for massively expensive Collectors Editions. Even though I am heavily involved with my Xbox I am interested in all formats when it comes to news and what they have to offer. I am pleased to be a part of the Immersed Gaming team. Been gaming as long as I can remember and my interests for video games have developed alongside the growth of the gaming industry itself. Being in my early 20s I feel now I should be contributing more to the gaming world than just being a player. So here I am bringing the latest news and opinions together with my girlfriend Lynette.

Immortal Phoenix – Syndicated Columnist

A regular gamer that started it all off by streaming on Justin.tv. I’ve recently expanded to twitter, youtube, and tumblr, and I’ve just started a weekly series here on the state of gaming. Whether it’s live video, youtube, or twitter, I love interacting with people and it’s great to get their opinions on gaming and life in general. At the end of the day it’s all about having fun and being part of the community. : )
