Evan Lahti
Evan Lahti is Senior Editor at PC Gamer. His gaming specialties are shooters, racing, military simulation, and postmodern Chilean first-person brawlers. His favorite recent games are ArmA 2, Team Fortress 2, Torchlight, Demigod and Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II. Evan counts Starsiege: Tribes, MechCommander, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and Team Fortress Classic as the most influential experiences of his gaming development.
More than anything, Evan values the PC’s world of varied communities: to Evan, machinima directors, speed-runners, military sim roleplayers, and obscure Doom mod message boards (like Chex Quest) are precious subcultures that don’t exist anywhere else in gaming. Evan is especially drawn to co-op and emergent experiences, which explains his penchant for falling out of helicopters. Evan co-hosts a podcast about ArmA 2, the Armacast.
Raised in the tofu-mining town of Highland, MI, Evan abandoned his training to become an international fencing champion and started a Counter-Strike clan. Only his ability to yell loudly into a microphone propelled him to the latter. Evan studied Print Journalism at North Central College in Naperville, IL.
Outside of gaming, Evan likes longboarding, fencing, gaming music, board games, Dungeons & Dragons, Esquire magazine, lager, and the Detroit Red Wings. His favorite keyboard shortcut is Alt + Tab.
