If you haven't noticed already, Portal has been a monumental impact on the video game scene. Unless you live in a cave with no contact to the outside world, you've heard about Portal at least once in your lifetime.

He's also the icon of the video game industry, much like Mickey Mouse is the icon for Disney.

Ralph H. Baer, betting known as the "Father of Video Games", is one of the most admirable people in the industry. He's carved out from one of the roughest times in history and has made a name for himself despite it all. Through his trials, he has mastered the art of inventing newer technology and advancements. One of those happens to be part of the video game industry.

If you're not sure what Pokémon are, you have been living somewhere under a rock for who knows how long. These pocket monsters have been a phenomena since the 1990s when the games were released in Japan and North America. You can't go to a game store or convention without seeing the face of one of them plastered somewhere. This is all the result of one man and his childhood hobby. Get ready cause

When you hear it, you know where it comes from. I'm talking about some of the greatest soundtracks you'll hear in video game history that come from an equally great series -- Halo. The man behind the music has an enormous amount of experience, from television jingles to the games you play today. Meet Bungie's Martin O'Donnell in Arcade Sushi's newest entry in our Biography series.
