Addicted to writing, gaming, cute fluffy things and being out of my comfort zone.

Favourite Game: It's a three-way tie between Super Mario World, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Halo 2.

Favourite Genre: I play all types of games, but I love platformers, RTS and first-person shooters.

Favourite Game Writer: Joseph Staten.

Favourite Game Designer: It's another tie between Chris Seavor and Edmund McMillen. Lame! I know, but it's too hard to decide sometimes!

Favourite Developer: Bungie. No, wait! Blizzard. Bah! I suck at this.

Favourite Game Soundtrack: Easy. Halo 2. Martin O'Donnell is amazing! Although Hotline Miami -- Stop it, man!

All right. Enough with the favourites.

Other Stuff: I'm currently learning everything I can about writing for video games. If anyone else is interested in game writing, Professional Techniques for Video Game Writing by the IGDA / Edited by Wendy Despain is a fantastic book on the subject.

I think what I find most interesting about game writing is attempting to strike a balance between narrative and gameplay.

I'm a trained screenwriter, but I would also love to write for games someday.

I think that about covers it.

Thanks for stopping by and take care!
