Profiles: [ Derrick ] [ Jennifer ] [ Don ] [ Doug ]

The Gaming Podcast crew current is, Derrick Schommer, Jennifer Schommer, Don Dunn and Doug Petersen. We’re avid gamers covering a variety of topics, opinions and genres.

While Derrick and Jennifer are a married “gaming couple,” who have more than one Xbox 360 a few Nintendo DS’s and a Wii. They’ve played archives of PC Games, Macintosh Games, consoles, hand-helds and coin-operated titles. They’re raising two young children and starting them early in the world of gaming.

Don has gamed since he could walk, plays PC games and MMORPG’s like World of Warcraft (as well as Jennifer and Derrick) and recently purchased an Xbox 360 to expand his gaming horizons to next-generation consoles.

Doug’s another old school gamer who grew up on Pac-Man, Mrs. Pac-Man, Final Fantasy and Zelda. When he’s not rocking PC games he’s playing with his Wii (pun intended).

How Did We Meet?

Derrick and Don have known each other since the 7th grade. Doug and Derrick are cousins who have been gaming together since the Atari 2600 was king and Jennifer and Derrick have been together since the 8th grade–playing games together for years.

Casual or Hardcore?

We love all styles of game play, anything that innovates the gaming industry and is highly entertaining. We cannot classify ourselves as any one style of gamer but Jennifer has expanded her gaming into casual games and writes news and reviews at her site, Casual Gamer Chick.

What’s our Podcast About?
