About Seth Powell

Seth Powell is an essayist and screenwriter with a keen interest in video game storytelling. His areas of interest include explorable science-fiction worlds, comedic character writing and engaging ways of storytelling and choice-making. He will talk to you for hours about how Luigi is the better Mario brother, or how Sunset Overdrive deserved more love, so expect some passionately nerdy lists and reviews.

He also holds a first class degree from Lancaster University, UK, studying Film and English Literature.
