Ciao! My name is Eric and welcome to my channel. In addition to video game content creation, I'm also a high school mathematics and computer science teacher, Boston sports fan, food enthusiast, and proud husband and father.

I was an avid member of the Nintendo NSider Forums (ShadowMario41) from 2005 - 2007

I created "Let's Play" style videos and uploaded them regularly from 2009 - 2017. Those were the days!

I was a member of the group, CrystalStarStudio, beginning in 2009

I hosted weekly live streams on Twitch (SMXLI) from 2015 - 2019

I built Doom 2 Remix in 2022, an amateur modding project playable in Doom + Doom II

I developed The 41 Alliance + Mega Squad, a custom Wargroove campaign in 2019 (download code: 5GF5HUTX). I then released a sequel, The 41 Alliance + Mega Squad 2, a custom Wargroove 2 campaign in 2025 (download code: 35LG5DUA)

...And now I plan to began the series "Eric Talks Game" in 2025!

Thank you for all the memories and here's to plenty more to come!
