About Connor McDonald

Connor McDonald is a writer based in the Detroit metro area. He's loved video games for as long as he can remember. When he was a kid, his Mom bought him his first game: Rugrats in Paris for the Gameboy Color. He tells people it was actually Zelda: Oracle of Seasons because Rugrats on the Gameboy Color is lame. When he's not writing about video games, he enjoys reading books, watching SuperMega videos, and, of course, playing video games! His all time favorites are Bastion, Metroid: Dread, and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
