The Team

The RockstarWatch Team

So who are the people behind RockstarWatch? They are hardcore fans just like yourself, they work hard everyday writing about what they enjoy; and hoping you enjoy it all the same. They were all hand-picked for their talents and knowledge, and they not just a team, they are a group of talented people who just want to share their knowledge of the Rockstar Games franchise with you. Oh, and we are certainly not one-man show here at RockstarWatch. Everyone contributes to the site's over-all feel, aspect and of course the content; without everyone here, there would be no RockstarWatch.

Web Developer
Australian Jared Linwood
    (Founder)

Jared founded RockstarWatch in December of 2006 and coded the entire RockstarWatch framework. The site runs on a script developed specifically for it. It has a backend for staff to update content, add news, add pages, etc, as well as functions for how RockstarWatch looks for you, the user.

Interested in all things Rockstar, Jared has followed the Rockstar Games franchise for some years now. Along with his friend Aj, they work at uncovering all they can about Rockstar Games and their fantastic contributions to the gaming indursty. Aj and Jared have got in some trouble in the past, for finding things they weren't meant to find... however most of the time their hard work uncovers very informative finds.

Hardcore Knowledge
American Aj Collins
    (Co-founder)

Aj knows more about Rockstar Games than all the gaming websites (IGN, 1UP, you name it) put together. He's first with the news and can read the future of Rockstar Games like a book...prediction is one of his strongest points.

He is also becoming ever more talented with Video Creation, Web Design and Graphics. This guy can achieve anything he puts his mind to. Give him an idea and he'll give you tons of examples of how to execute it. If it wasn't for Aj, RockstarWatch would have never lifted off the ground. It's also believed he is the son of Jack Thompson, however, this is still under investigation.

Graphics & Design
English Barnaby Smith

Barnaby is the latest person to join our administration team. His knowledge of Grand Theft Auto, Manhunt, Midnight Club and others is fantastic. He also has some close friends who are reliable sources when it comes to news and information regarding Rockstar Games.

Barnaby is most well-known for his short-run Grand Theft Auto IV magazine which he ran at the peak point of the game's announcements back in 2007. The magazine is no-longer worked on, however old copies can still be found around the web due to the magazines popularity and quality.

Game Knowledge
Irish Ciaran Morgan

Ciaran is a knowledge database, in a human form. Ask a question, you'll get an answer. He hosts gaming clans and multiplayer matches, and knows games in both the single and multiplayer format back to front.

Video and Cinema
Australian Aaron Edwards

Aaron is an amazing video director, we wouldn't be surprised if he became a movie director one day. Equipped with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 in one hand and a huge collection of games in the other, he pumps out video of in-game situations, re-mixed trailers and video walkthroughs.

Creative, full of effects and terrific music... Aaron shocked all of us at RockstarWatch in early 2008 when one of his fan made Grand Theft Auto IV trailers was taken by many large public websites as being an official trailer release. It took a lot of proof to actually convince some of these sites that the video was not what they thought it was, rather it was a fan-trailer. Some still host the video however have edited details to specify the situation. If you do see one of his hit videos, be sure to check it out. We guarantee you'll enjoy it.

Retro Outlook
American Dylan Bone

Dylan was one of the early adopters of RockstarWatch, seeing the potential and wishing to lend a hand with the site. He has a great knowledge of Rockstar Games IP, particularly Grand Theft Auto as the series related to Scarface, which he is a huge fan of.

Dylan and his wife had a son in late 2007, which also makes him the oldest staff member on RockstarWatch. So naturally he takes the legal blame for anything we do wrong. He also gives us his retro look on our ideas, so as we can target people from young adults to adults as best as possible.
