About Us
The ChunkyRock is a gaming and pop culture site run by two brothers who have been arguing about games, movies, and board games forever.
Who We Are
We’re Awkward_Rock and Elfishchunk — two brothers based in the US who grew up with a controller in one hand and strong opinions in the other. The ChunkyRock is the result of that. No corporate backing. No review codes from publishers. No agenda. Just two guys who genuinely love this stuff and can’t stop talking about it.
The reasonable one. The voice of measured takes and calm analysis — at least until someone says something wrong about a game he loves, at which point all bets are off.
Awkward_Rock grew up on video games, has strong feelings about the direction of the industry, and really, genuinely likes rocks. Not metaphorically. Actual rocks. Don’t ask, just accept it.
You’ll find his byline on game reviews, industry hot takes, and the occasional piece where he defends an unpopular opinion with more conviction than is probably necessary.
The gnome enthusiast. The conspiracy theorist. The guy who will spend forty minutes explaining why gnomes are misrepresented in mainstream media and why that matters more than you think.
Elfishchunk brings a hyperfixation energy to everything he touches — board games, tabletop, movies, pop culture — and when he locks in on something he goes deep. Really deep. He’s also a massive Dune nerd, as in genuinely obsessed with the entire universe, the lore, the politics, the sandworms, all of it. If you want to talk Dune, he’s your guy. If you don’t, he’ll probably bring it up anyway.
Also co-host of the Awkward & Elfish podcast, where the gnome discourse and unsolicited Dune analysis continues unfiltered.
What We Cover
Why The ChunkyRock?
Awkward_Rock and Elfishchunk have been our usernames in every game we’ve played together since 2006. The ChunkyRock felt like the natural combination — a little weird, completely ours, and impossible to forget.
That’s kind of the whole vibe.
