Favorite Games
Star Wars Galaxies, ELITE: Dangerous, 7 Days To Die, X4 and Stellaris, EVE Online, Star Citizen and XCOM 2. These are all games that I have hundreds or even thousands of hours playing.
Industry Focus
I'm a sci-fi junkie, and specifically space games. If it has spaceships I'm happy. I also have a weakness for zombie survival games.

Unlocking my Jedi character slot playing Star Wars Galaxies before the CU and NGE updates.
