Daemon Hatfield

Daemon Hatfield grew up in Kansas, where his tolerance for questions like "Where’s Toto?" and "Shot any McCoys lately?" fell quickly. An athletically awkward child, his talents were to be put to use guiding ninja through outer space over countless afternoons with his Atari 2600, NES, Turbo-Grafx 16, and just about every other console since. Along with videogames, Daemon also realized at an early age he had a knack for writing music and acting, and was heavily involved in both activities throughout school.
In 2001, Daemon graduated from the University of Kansas with degrees in music and theatre. His travels took him to Chicago (now his favorite city) where he was an active member of the sketch comedy group New Batch of Genes, wrote musical scores for dozens of plays and short films, and performed as the mostly one-man rock outfit Monster-0.
Then came the fateful day he was surfing his favorite Website, IGN, and noticed an opening for a news editor position. Daemon made the trek out to San Francisco, and the rest is mostly the stuff of legend. His Game Scoop! podcast has been a global phenomenon largely credited with ending world hunger. He continues to compose for theatre and film
