Biography
I learned to be humble through 25 years in WV, spent three years in Juneau, AK to experience something new, and now reside in MN. I love learning new things and the less I know about something the more interesting it becomes. Through that mindset, I've been able to tell hundreds of stories through my journalism in written, audio, and video work. Every job I do adds to my skill set. Now I am working during the day as an Account Coordinator at Stride PR, boosting titles through communication and marketing strategy. However, I continue to sharpen my skills by writing about non-client games, doing eSports commentary, and streaming Minnesotan fighting game tournaments in my spare time. It has been an incredible journey so far. My overall goals include writing a fiction novel or two, working PR on more titles, doing deep dives into games, interviewing more people, and getting Forever Classic Games LLC off the ground with my business partner Zach Snyder.

By Alex McCumbers Verified| Forever Classic Games Verified A Tale of Souls Rarely RetoldThere was a time when I obsessed with all things fighting games, including some of the best from gaming’s past. I was a part of an esports organization that held multiple tournaments per week where I saw some of Minnesota’s best Smash Ultimate, Tekken 7, and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike players perform feats I barely thought were possible.
By Alex McCumbers Verified| Forever Classic Games Verified Despite Everything, Games Continue to Give JoyEvery year at Forever Classic Games we like to reflect on the state of gaming from our perspective and document our most memorable gaming experiences. As with any year, there are simply too many games so we only cover what we can as a small team. This is why some of the favorites of 2024 are not on this list – we just didn’t have the time for them.
By Alex McCumbers Verified| Forever Classic Games Verified The actual gameplay is a simple jump, slash, and light puzzling affair with a groovy bass-forward soundtrack that is satisfying to chip to away at while winding down for the night or over a few drinks with friends. I giggled through the entirety of the game and enjoyed going the extra mile to find all of the collectibles and upgrades. It can feel pretty stiff at times, but the jumping is responsive and collecting items is simple for the most part.
