Randy Salas is the assistant features editor of the Star Tribune. When he's not watching DVDs, he's playing video games -- occasionally even both at the same time. (It can be done.) He's been writing about games since Nintendo's main rival was Sega and was one of the first print journalists to cover DVDs regularly. In Randy's world, life is high-def.
