Paul Michael

He IS Avatar. I can think of no one character more appropriate. If you have not seen Ralph Bakshi’s classic animated flick Wizards, you need to. If you do see Wizards and you find the animation rough and the story wanting, you may be right – but you still don’t get it.
Paul Michael, or “Pablo” as he is so lovingly referred to by the GamingWorld X president, joined up with the GamingWorld X team just a couple months ago, and has been running the entire site for the most part ever since. It hasn't always been so easy for him, though.

Paul was made, not born. And if that causes you any confusion, you are going to just have to figure it out for yourself. Paul grew up in a desert, he doesn’t even remember which one, just that it was hot as hell. As soon as he was old enough to get a driver’s license he spent about 8 years roadying for several washed-up sixties rock acts, including Re-upholstered Bullfrog, the Crimson Teabags, and Paul Revere and the Raiders. The pay was poor, but there sure was a lot of stuff happening on the road.

After witnessing the Bullfrog drummer die from choking on someone else’s vomit, Paul had an epiphany, and finally decided to go to college. Deciding that he wanted to learn the cornerstone, the building blocks of all the humanities -- the Classics (i.e. Greek and Latin literature), he walked into Springfield University, read the sign, and was instantly accepted. After forming a strong, sexual relationship with his Pornography 101 professor, Sonny Uppal, he decided to take part of the online extravaganza, and became an editor for the Sony GamingWorld X department. Although he spends most of his time translating Latin, he is truly one crazy mofo' that writes one hell of a review.

Duties around the Site
As the oldest member of the site, it is Paul’s primary job to empower the youth – not so much with wisdom and experience, but so all other GWX staffers can say “Thank god I’ll be better off than Paul in a few years.”

I like…
to use a lot of Napkins

I am ashamed that…
I didn’t realize how great Big Hair Pop-Metal bands were, until they were gone.

I adore…
football (as long as the football is round!)
