The console I use the most is my Xbox Series X, but I also have a PlayStation 5 for whenever I'm in the mood for some Spider-Man action.
Favorite Games
It's so hard to pick favorites, but Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fortnite are definitely up there.
Industry Focus
I love analyzing narrative and atmospheric decisions in games. I also enjoy discussing trends in the gaming industry, especially when it comes to live service games.
