About Me

TwitchGuru.com is a site dedicated to the culture and interests of gamers. Coming from the same pedigree of Tom's Hardware Guide , we enjoy gaming, films, TV, comic books... you name it. Rob Wright is the editor of TwitchGuru, and Aaron McKenna works for the same company and makes it look like he's doing work by knocking off the odd article for TwitchGuru as an excuse to do no real work all day.
