About the Author

Welcome!

I'm sure some of you are wonder, just who IS this guy?  Why is he talking about video games so much?

To answer the first question, I'm a pretty normal college student who just happens to love his video games.  Over the past few years, I've dabbled a bit in game design, although none of it has come to fruition.  I'm particularly skilled in Game Maker programming, but only have a rudimentary knowledge of other programming languages such as Java and C++.

Second, I like to think about things.  Maybe a little too much, but oh well.  Most people see games as merely a mindless form of entertainment, but I see them as something that is worth understanding.  What makes them fun?  Why is this game or that game "good?"  I like to look at games to answer these types of questions, probably prodded on by my interest in game design as a hobby.

Enjoy your time here, and feel free to comment on anything you find interesting.
