Din joined the staff in 2010 with the creation of Z-Talk: The Zelda Dungeon Podcast.  Din and Rish host the podcast as well as oversee its continual development each month. Specifically, Din is in charge of the audio creation (including background music, segment overseeing, ordering, and publication), the creation and running of The Keaton Quiz, podcast forum thread upkeep, fan and staff involvement, and of course hosting. She also became a Hylian Knight in 2010.  Din makes up  one quarter of the Canadian staff on Zelda Dungeon!  Din will finish her Secondary Education Degree at Christmas of 2012 and will out on the job hunt for a teaching position in a high school.  Her passions outside of gaming and Zelda include: biology, drama, writing and reading medieval fiction, and a fascination with gothic culture.  Din and Rish would both like to publicly thank ZeldaMusicLover and Axle the Beast for their contributions to the running of the podcast.  Without them it would be a much more difficult feat, their contributions and help are endless and much appreciated.

Ally joined the news team early January 2012. Other video games of note that she enjoys playing are Halo, Assassin's Creed, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and an Xbox original, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Even above playing video games, Ally's favorite activity is reading. Fantasy and science fiction are her genres of choice and could read just about anything as long as the author seems to know what he/she is doing (so that means Twilight is DEFINITELY out). A few of her favorite book series include Lord of the Rings and the Divergent trilogy. She also enjoys the LOTR movies, along with Star Wars and Happy Gilmore.
