About us
You may be wondering what "quarter to three" means
and why it's the name of the site. It's the time we all do
our best gaming. Don't pretend you don't know what we're talking
about. You have to get up early tomorrow, but you keep playing
even though it's past midnight. If you can last until a quarter
to three, you know it's a good game. Quarter to three games
are the ones that make you really sleepy at work the next
day, but you still can't wait to get home and play some more.
Quarter to three games are the ones we're all looking for.
Hence, www.quartertothree.com.
Tom
Although he was born in Texas in 1966, Tom
Chick grew up in Arkansas. He has a Masters of Theological Studies
from Harvard, two years of experience as a copywriter at an advertising
agency, and he spent about ten years as a stage actor with limited
television credits.
He has also poured concrete on a construction crew, washed dishes
at a country club, and walked up and down Rodeo Drive selling salads
and sandwiches out of a wicker basket to rich old ladies doing their
shopping and getting their hair done. He currently lives in Los
Angeles and is training to be a scuba instructor, which is a much
better job. He writes for Computer Gaming World, Computer Games
Magazine, Gamepower, Daily Radar, IGN, and Sharkey's Games. Tom's
first computer game was the Infocom text adventure, Starcross, which
he never finished.
Mark
Mark Asher was born in St.
Louis, Missouri in 1959 and has lived there ever since. He has a
nice wife and four good kids and has been writing about computer
games for several years now for such publications as CNET's Gamecenter,
Computer Gaming World, Computer Games Magazine, PC Zone, Gamepower,
IGN, Topdeck, Science Fiction Weekly, and a few other places that
are no longer in business. Before writing about games, Mark spent
13 years writing about software as a technical writer (interesting
at first but man did it get boring eventually). Before that he managed
a bookstore (fun work but lousy pay), worked in a steel fabrication
shop (really a messy job), and worked on a loading dock for a few
years at a food distributor (brrr — those walk-in freezers
were cold), and currently is in informal training to be a beer taster.
He never sold salads out of a wicker basket, but his car broke down
once so he walked to work and a junkyard dog attacked him.
