LEADERSHIP TEAM
A historian and avid gamer, Joshua ‘NantenJex’ Goldie is the Editor-In-Chief for Source Gaming, overseeing videos and reviews for the site. He has a passion for obscure gaming so any article you see on uncommon titles like Nazo no Murasame Jo, Yuyuki and Marvelous, to name a few, are most likely from him. He also likes game design leading to the creation of Dream Smashers, a series on potential newcomers for Super Smash Bros. He wants you all to know that Yoshi is objectively the best Nintendo character.
Is also known as The Nintendo Chronicler on YouTube and his work can be found on NintendoLife, Ninsight, Ninty Fresh, Switch Player Magazine and more! Following him on Twitter @MrNantendo
One of Source Gaming’s on staff critics, Wolfman writes about game design, history, and the place of video games in broader culture. Typically, he’ll either be contributing to series like “Holism” or “The Forgotten, the Maligned” or giving his take on gaming news, though he also pops up now and then in video content like the “Adaptation Fixation” series. You can also find him on The Avocado as both a semi-regular guest on the Avocado GamesCast or as an infrequent writer.
AShadowLink makes videos discussing their favorite (and not so favorite) games with a passion. Their favorite franchises are Devil May Cry and the Honkai series. Also an avid composer and in-training game developer, composing for projects such as Ovine Replica and Ursine Science for Amorous Ursidae. Can be found as “AShadowLink” or “ThatShadowLink” on various platforms, such as SmashBoards, twitter, and SoundCloud.
Ever since May 2018, PhantomZ2 has contributed to the team with reviews on franchises they love and games that have an eye-catching artstyle. In addition, they’ve helped with breaking news coverage and appearing on streams and Good Morning Source Gaming. While it may take them awhile to get the gears turning, they hope to incorporate different senses of style in their content so people can understand how much they love something. Outside of Source Gaming, PhantomZ2 is a young artist and occasionally makes YouTube videos on their own channel. Once again, it may take them awhile to get the gears turning and take a break from obsessing about creating structures and organization – but they hope to find a way to showcase himself through their work while also finding themself by resonating with others’.
TRANSLATION TEAM
PushDustIn founded Source Gaming as a way to bring more information directly to the players. By incorporating translations, datamining and responsible journalism, PushDustIn was able to elevate Source Gaming’s position within the community and bring new information to the Smash Bros. fandom. While PushDustIn doesn’t work on Source Gaming full time anymore, he does contribute and advise the site rountinely. Currently, he’s the Head of Marketing for CharacterBank Inc. and has contributed to a number of different outlets including DidYouKnowGaming? and Nintendo Force.
MasterOfBear helps with translations at Source Gaming and also runs Game In Japanese. Feel free to reach out on Twitter if something related to either of those things is on your mind.
CONTENT TEAM
Part time writer/editor and full time retro gaming enthusiast. Resides in South Florida when not in his own head. Has come here to chew bubblegum and talk Smash Bros… and is all out of bubblegum.
Kawlun helps with the editing of content, both written and video.
Cart Boy wants to be the very best, like no one ever was. When the stars align properly, he also writes articles, edits his peers’ work, and runs Source Gaming’s Facebook page.
When he’s not playing Smash or Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Hamada’s probably writing articles on either of the two. He also participates in the occasional discussion, but largely sticks to the website where he helps with edits and writes Dream Smashers. Some of the franchises Hamada especially loves that you won’t hear the end of include Pokémon, Metroid, Kirby, Devil May Cry, The Legend of Zelda, Xenoblade, and of course, Super Smash Bros.
If you don’t see him playing Warframe, Clubhouse Games or something else that catches his eye, Liquid will occasionally make a video, join in a discussion, post Featured Content or help with assorted things on the site’s backend. Whenever he joins a topic of conversation, expect a pun within five minutes. Or maybe less.
Formerly a guest contributor before joining the team full-time, Creaks is the most recent addition to the SG team and is a member of our graphics team, creating headers and assets for the website. When not doing graphic design or creating art for personal projects, you can often either find Creaks trying an acclaimed classic for the first time, or just replaying a FromSoftware game for the eighth.
That one guy you’re pretty sure doesn’t exist until he randomly appears and makes you question yourself. Narrating translations, streamer, and Snazzy’s E3 sidekick. He also creates videos on his channel… once a year.

Congrats on your new member, but where on the page are they? I don’t see anything different from how it was before… (Emptying Cache) …Now I see it. It’s Marie. Welcome to Source Gaming, at least as much of a welcome that someone who just reads SG articles can give.
I know this is not the place for it and I’m sorry in advance but hey Source Gaming staff! Did you see that your picture of Harada and Ono’s 2016 interview was used in the Harada’s Bar interview with Sakurai part 1?! That was so cool!😁
