Favorite Games
RPGs and turn-based strategy games. The original Mass Effect and Dragon Age are still two of my favorites of all time, and I've lost track of how many hours I've sunk into the XCOM series.
Favorite Console
I'm loving my PS5 at the moment and my first NES will always have a place in my heart. My favorite of all time, however, has to be the PS2 for its incredible library of great games.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Fully competing The Witcher 3. It was a long and amazing game with so much to do. 100 percenting it was an achievement I'm still happy about.
