Minneapolis Classic Video Game Examiner | Bio
Find out more about Tim:

Tim Wilsie (a.k.a Commander Tim) is the personification of retro gaming. A veteran of the games industry, he has been a video game journalist since 2005. In that same year, Tim co-created and hosted the groundbreaking podcast ‘The Widget: Games, Tech, Whatever’, which was eventually picked up as an affiliate podcast for the PC Gamer Podcast Network. In subsequent years, Tim created and hosted 'The Commander Tim Cast', and has also been a guest on many podcasts mostly for the use of his encyclopedic knowledge of the subject of gaming, in addition to being quite entertaining (despite his protests otherwise). When he’s isn’t playing, hoarding, writing about, taking photos of and dreaming about video game systems, Tim can be heard weekly on GameHounds.net, where he dishes out his own brand of retro-justice. You can also keep up with his ramblings on his personal blog, located at CommanderTim.com, and infrequently on GridCycle.com. Email
