Michael Newman
Co-Host of Skewed and Reviewed: Skewedcast
Michael Newman has been playing video games since his dad brought home
their North Star Horizon PC back in 1978. In a time before
the internet, he spent much of his youth playing games on the family's
Atari 2600 before upgrading to an NES.
While Attending the University of Arizona he built his very first PC, a 486-33 and has built his own gaming
PC's ever since. Michael is a big retro gamer and built his very first
arcade machine back in 2002, and spends almost as much time building them
as he does playing on them.
Outside of the video games and movies, Michael spends much of his time with his seven cats, and his wife who happily puts
up with all his gaming hobbies. He enjoys taking care of his Koi pond, and spending time at numerous pop culture and video game conventions around the
country.
Michael Newman has hosted 158 Episodes.
