About Lore Boys

Our Origin Story

The Lore Boys started as an idea over a round of beers on a sticky table at a local microbrewery in Montreal. Ethan brought the brains, Pete the looks, and James rounded us off with the charm.

The boys have been plumbing the depths of obscure sourcebooks, long-winded audiobooks, convoluted in-game item descriptions, and the occasional dash of wikipedia to bring out the stories and worldbuilding that exist on the periphery of the media we all love.

From the Argonian swamps of Elder Scrolls to the fall of Valyria in Game of Thrones, from the ancient fossils of Pokemon to mommy fingers in Elden Ring, even from the brutal and bleak grimdark of Warhammer to the goofiness of Glover, the Lore Boys spend their time asking the hard questions about the media franchises we grew up on and continue to enjoy.

We hope you enjoy our storytelling and alt-comedy just as much.

Ethan

Ethan began researching obscure video game lore at a young age, when paying off his parents debts to Mr. Hubert Wiki, creator of Wikipedia. Ethan had to spend long days delving into video game manuals and Nintendo Power issues to fill out Wikipedia pages so his parents could continue to support their crippling addiction to ordering box editions of Wikipedia over the phone. Nowadays, Ethan continues to research out a compulsion to get to the bottom of which came first: ancient robots or magic rocks.

Peter

Thankfully, Pete’s dad stole pens and paper from every job he’d ever had to ensure that Peter would grow up with at least one skill. It isn’t drawing, its stealing from the office. He has a love of the lore, but really he just loves hanging with the boys.
