Kevin has been running SelectButton since 2011 and stands taller than everyone else on staff, which he insists makes him the natural choice for Boss. Between managing the site and capturing gameplay footage, he's probably replaying the entire Final Fantasy franchise (for the fifth time) or trying to 100% Metroid Prime, one of his favorite games of all time. Still waiting for a proper new F-Zero.

RageSquid’s path for Descenders is clear; make an extreme downhill game that can be accessed by anyone, but difficult to master.
