Gabriel Pendleton

Role: Gabriel Pendleton is President of BaltimoreGamer.com. Gabriel’s goal is to have a place or central hub of everything Gaming and Gaming technology in Baltimore. Promoting the industry of video games , shining the light on local indie developers and creating a community where developers, gamers, students, and creative minds alike will know that if its involves ANYTHING videos games, BaltimoreGamer will be involved or spreading the word.

Education: Now a student of “Simulation and Digital Entertainment” aka Game Design at the Community College of Baltimore County Gabriel plans to complete his Bachelors’ Degree at Baltimore University. After completion, he hopes to join a major video game production company as a game programmer or as part of the design team.

Current Work: Quality Assurance Video Game Tester at e4e Interactive.

Around Town: Gabriel is very involved in the video games community, always eager to learn more and meet new faces. He attends as many networking events as he can, such as BarCamp, Ignite Baltimore, Innovate Baltimore, IGDA Baltimore, and has developed great relationships with many great companies and individuals. “Building that chemistry with someone you just met, than four months down the road they call you up and say …I have an idea and I want you involved…. make those five min of face to face time more than worth it.”

Favorite Games: Metroid, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy X, Call of Duty, God of War, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Legend of Zelda.

My own words: I’m just a laid back guy who loves games. I like going out and having a great time with friends and meeting new people. Love sports GO COWBOYS! and will try anything once. Stuff I would like to do in the future includes going overseas to Tokyo or Brazil, running my own game development team or startup. This really all began when I was working at RadioShack and I helped a guy with some audio equipment. That guy, is the Lead Sound Programmer at Firaxis Games Dominic Cerquetti. Without Dom, BaltimoreGamer may be still an idea.
