Our Editor's Take

Married to the Games is a video game podcast that discusses gaming and family life. Host Gabe Patillo facilitates fun, energetic conversations with his cohosts. Tim Rauter, Chris McCrackin, and Ed Placencia join Patillo for hilarious gaming talks. They also share their outrageous personal stories and banter. All four hosts are family men but remain gamers at their cores.

Patillo is the podcast's primary host and husband to Jenni. His favorite game is the beloved role-playing game Final Fantasy VII. He developed a love of video games early, spending a lot of his childhood in arcades. Rauter is a newcomer to the world of gaming. But he became a passionate gamer when his wife gifted him his first PlayStation (PS) 3. He loves story-based games like The Witcher and Uncharted. A web developer for his day job, Rauter has a young daughter with his wife, Lauren.

Podcast cohost McCrackin has been a fan of the PS1 since its release. Metal Gear Solid is his favorite game of all time. McCrackin and his wife, Stacy, have a dog named after Ellie from The Last of Us. Placencia loves consoles and video games of all kinds. He is also a comedy fan, so he's never too far from cracking a joke.

Together, the guys discuss the latest game news. They talk about new releases and the games they played the past week. They also offer their thoughts on balancing gaming with family life. The show provides insight into the lives of four avid gamers. Moreover, it makes gaming culture more accessible and understandable.

Thanks to the show's focus on gaming and family, listeners have a welcoming, wholesome gaming community to join. Whether talking about jobs, family, or the newest games, the host's conversations are entertaining. New episodes of Married to the Games are available every Friday.
