Industry Focus

I have two areas that I've found mself retuning to. I've been a Nintendo fan so long it's hard not to focus my efforts talking about them, but I also deeply care about narrative content and storytelling in games. The interactivity offers so much narrative potential that stories just don't have elsewhere.

Favorite Games

I've been crazy about the Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon series, for as long as I can remember. As I've grown, of course, I branched out into less child friendly experiences, and have become a huge Fallout fan. I also find myself returning to the Hitman World fo Assassination games pretty frequently too.

Favorite Console

I'm partial to the N64 and Gamecube eras, but probably have some bias since those were my first consoles. Although I probably have the most hours logged on my 3DS. I still return there pretty offten. I've also been known to spend a good amount of time on my PC.
