Burnie Burns, Matt Hullum, and Joel Heyman all met at University of Texas, and began their career together by filming an independent movie called “The Schedule”. Their career paths took them to different places, and Burnie was left on his own in Austin, Texas working in the tech industry, where he met two new friends, Gustavo Sorola and Geoff fink. Together, they created drunkgamers.com, a website where they got drunk and reviewed video games. The website eventually shut down, and appeared to be over and done with, until the guys got their big opportunity in the form of a request from the magazine Computer Gaming World.
