Chris “Weekend Game Guy” Long has been a part of what some might call “nerd culture” for as long as he can remember, and he got his first video game console when he was three (a hand-me-down Atari 2600). Video Games have always been an important component to his life, but an evening birthday party at a shady arcade would send gaming to a whole new level for him. After watching some older kids performing fatalities on a Mortal Kombat arcade cab, Chris knew that video games were a much bigger deal to him than he initially thought.
Now in his thirties and a father of three, time to play video games has become a precious commodity. It was clear to him that there were many gamers in the exact same position as he was. He decided to share as many games as possible that the “busy gamer” could pick up and play in a relatively short amount of time. He shares the games he discovers through a few different series including: Arcade Overview, Weekend Game Guy After Dark, and of course the Weekend Game Guy.
In addition to collecting video games; Chris also has an extensive comic book and anime collection. You can check out more at his YouTube channel WeekendGameGuy1.
