Favorite Games
I love narrative-driven games that engage with current issues – think The Last of Us 2. I also love a bit of surrealism, a la Disco Elysium and Kentucky Route Zero. I will also play any Like A Dragon game you put in front of me.
Industry Focus
I'm most interested in industry trends, diversity in games, and critiquing media through a progressive lens. I also have a particular interest in franchises that cross mediums.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Don't ask me, I have ADD. It's a miracle I've ever finished a game at all.
