Mission Statement

Inspiring gamers worldwide with unbiased News, Streams, and Reviews, to make the gaming community a better, more informed place.

Vision Statement

Striving to be the world’s leader in Gaming Community News, Reviews, and More!

Values

Company Value is key to XPLoot, we believe that the only way to succeed is to have a value system that both our employees and customers can get behind.

Our Internal Values:

  • Integrity: Every employee, client, and customer holds a steadfast adherence to a strict ethical and moral code.
  • Family: Family is the backbone for our company and we want our employees and clients to feel as if they are part of our family.  XPLoots goal is to build a Global Community and treat it like a family, so everyone is involved and responsible for making it a better place to be.  This is important because, in the Tech world, this doesn’t exist in one place.  And when it does exist, its bought out by a company and becomes a $ machine.
  • Respect: Every employee respects both coworkers and our clients as if they were family.  All will be treated like they add value to the company, even our clients can provide feedback to help the community.

 

These Organizational Values will help build a global gaming community that has a family feel instead of a large corporation feel to it.  We want our members to feel like they are part of the community, not just another person to get suckered into buying crap they don’t need or want.

Tyler C. – (Suit&Ty or Tyler) – President\Chief Executive Officer, Jack of All Trades, Master of One: Rage Quitting.

Twitch:  Twitch.tv/XPLootGaming

Tyler has been throwing his keyboard across the room since he first started playing video games on his parents’ IBM 386. Who knew Sopwith Camel could be so infuriating? The evolution of his rage crossed some amazing titles: Shinobi on Game Gear, Bubsy on Genesis, Road Rash, GTA 1 on PC, Half-Life, Portal, WoW, DayZ, Ark, and so much more. Easily his favorite has been the Borderlands series though. “Nobody shoots my buddies but me!”

When he’s not rage quitting, Tyler is an IT Administrator and software developer. He enjoys playing piano and if you watch his streams long enough, you’ll surely be able to hear him play his banjo. We’re still waiting for him to throw it across the room too.

Dan P. – (Elusive) – Gaming Media Specialist, My First Alphabet was A B X Y

Twitch: Twitch.tv/TheElusive

California Home Grown Viking Gamer since the days of World of Warcraft, by far I have spent most of my gaming career in that game.   I was in a top raiding guild from Burning Crusades through Lich King.   I would seriously play games all day every day if I could.  Someday, I’d love to get paid to play and review games for a living in the meantime I’m working with XPLoot to bring you the best in conference updates, gaming reviews and hilarious memes.

My friends have always had game consoles, even though I never owned my own until about 8 years ago, my brother (Mechanic) would let me play on his quite often. Finally in college Denver (Dax) got me the first computer that I could actually game on, the rest is history.   My favorite gaming memory would have to be when Xeda convinced me to wake up well before the sun rose and get in line for the Xbox one launch in LA. The whole set was decked out and Deadmau5 was playing, turned out to be an awesome event and we took 1st and 2nd in one of the game contests.

Favorite Games:

  • PlayerUnknowns Battleground (PUBG)
  • Halo 1 & 4
  • Overwatch (Speed Boost)
  • WoW
  • DnD
  • GTA series

Favorites outside of gaming:

  • My wife
  • Cycling, whether mountain biking or road cycling I love anything on 2 wheels.
  • Going to gaming conferences
  • Building and working on bikes

Craig C. – (Game Over) – Gaming Technology Specialist, He’ll Down You, Slather Your Player in Syrup and Then Teabag You.  All While Saying Sorry.

Grew up in small-town Saskatchewan where you could find me destroying hosers in the rink or just rippin sleds with the boys.  I wasn’t huge into gaming but when we got snowed in I would rock some Doom or Killer Instinct just to keep my fingers warm in case I had to fend off the polar bear from trying to eating one of us or having to chase Wyona the brown beaver when she got out of the yard.  Then we were lured out of Saskatchewan to Alberta with rumors of an endless supply of liquid gold.  We were pissed to find out they were referring to oil and not Maple Syrup…  After the riot, I decided to give the energy sector a chance and haven’t looked back.  I currently specialize in online valve repair, which keeps me out of town 5-6 days a week.  And instead of gettin ripped up with the boys and smokin darts every night I bought myself a gaming laptop to keep me busy while stuck at hotels.  I’ve only been PC gaming for a short amount of time, but have been a console player for years (Playstation\Nintendo\Xbox).

Favorite Games:

  • PlayerUnknowns Battleground (PUBG)
  • Battlefield Series
  • NHL
  • NFL
  • Mortal Combat
  • Call of Duty Series

Favorites outside of gaming:

  • GO Riders GO
  • Hockey
  • Curling

Amy P. – (T0xic_Unicorn)  – Gaming Technology Specialist, Shotguns, Heals, Shit-talking and Filthy Humor

Amy grew up in a household of gamers; when most of her friends were playing dress-up, she was learning to game and shit talk like a pro. She is more of a PC gamer, but has played on nearly every major console name from Atari to Xbox One. Gaming with her friends at XPLoot has always been a huge part of her life. It was during one of XPloot’s frequent Xbox Halo LAN parties that Mike (Mechanic) asked her out for their first date.  They married and years later, she went into labor with their first child during another Xbox Halo LAN party with the same group of friends.

In gaming, Amy is fantastic in a support class or as a healer. She enjoys shotguns, blowing things up and general chaos.
Outside of gaming, Amy is an IT administrator. Her hobbies include hiking, swimming, crocheting, playing tabletop games and collecting sand from places all around the world.

Michelle C. – (GingerMichi\MyUltraViolence)  – Editorial Director, Master Button Smasher, Stealer of Souls and the REAL MyUltraViolence

Twitch:  Twitch.tv/myultraviolence

Some might find that title to be offensive or condescending, but not Michelle. Indeed, she wears it as proud as the championship belt she forever wore in WWE All-Stars for Wii. She owns the title like she owns her veteran gamer friends in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe or Super Smash Bros. Michelle has honed her skills and perfected the nonsensical and chaotic, random technique of Master Button-Smashing. This Shun Di-Esque ability isn’t the only gift she has for gaming though!

As a Technical Editor, Michelle is well known for her keen eye for minor details. This, paired with her immeasurable logic, served as a major asset in her favorite game series: Portal. She’s rather fond of puzzle games in general, and so far is the only member of XPLoot’s Stream Team to brave the horror genre for our entertainment.

Here are some more of her favorites!

  • Overwatch
  • Wii Sports
  • The Sims
  • Mario Kart / Mario Party / Super Mario Bros
  • Guitar Hero
  • Epic Mickey
  • Kingdom Hearts
