Elias Poutanen

Elias Poutanen

Elias Poutanen (also known by his alias "Olmoor") was a host/computer-game critic for a number of related television programmes. Though officially a Finnish citizen he was born in Australia.

He started out as the replacement for Thomas Puha who previously hosted the programme called "Play" on MoonTV. The name of the show was changed to "Player" during this transition. He became noted by some fans as the channel's "cute nerd". He remained the official host for all console-gaming involved shows until MoonTV's cancellation in the early summer of 2003.

After MoonTV's demise Poutanen appeared only abruptly on television though resurfaced as a critic on the show "Play" on Nelonen, hosted by former MoonTV personnel Thomas Puha and Miika Huttunen. Towards the end of the show's run in 2005 Poutanen ended up replacing the show's female hosts who became either sick or unavailable for other reasons. Throughout its second season Play's ratings were not promising and as the show's cancellation became evident Poutanen was made its permanent host for the remaining last episodes.

On the final episode he interviewed "Jarno Sarkula", another former MoonTV host and game-critic.
