Vitals: 35. Loner. Seems like such a normal guy.
Education: BA in Irrelevant Studies, Brandeis University.
Publications: Too many to count over the years including
Spin,
XXL,
Urb Magazine,
Paste Magazine,
The Onion AV Club,
Giant,
Popular Science,
PC Zone, Yahoo, numerous games Web sites and Chud.com.
Platforms played: All of 'em. I'm an equal-opportunity gamer.
Genres played: Anything that doesn't highlight the words "massively" and "multiplayer," with specific weaknesses for driving, turn-based oddities and arcade flavor.
Multiplayer or single-player: Solo is always the first and best option. With a group of friends, multi is key, but the unwashed masses on XBL can f*** right off.
My Top 10 favorite games ever played (in no particular order and fully subject to change):
Sinistar
Civ 4
BioShock (I'll give the ending a pass)
Advance Wars
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Out of This World
Unreal Tournament (and the hundreds of mods and maps I still have somewhere)
Grim Fandango

And, thanks to hours spent on the ColecoVision as a youngling,
Montezuma's Revenge
