About Byron Campbell

Byron Campbell is a writer, editor and game critic from sunny Southern California. Not that he gets much mileage out of that famously fine weather; Byron spends most of his time indoors playing video games, geeking out over bits of cardboard, hugging his three-legged cat, and trying to keep up to date at theyearisyesterday.wordpress.com.
