Why is it that always when somebody asks a writer to write something, they hit a...
Um? Okay, wait. I got it! So here goes.
I consider myself to be the bastard, hypocrite child of the gaming world, born into an era where I was punished and praised at the same time for being a gamer. My fellow gamers praised me for my deadly accuracy and impeccable driving skills, yet the rest of society punished me for being a...wow, there are a lot of these I could use...geek, nerd, dork, loser, wussy, mama's boy. Well, you get the picture. So i got bigger. A lot bigger. As in physically bigger. I joined the rugby team and became the jock and kept my addiction to gaming down to the well-hidden secret that it was. It wasn't until one day, when one of my fellow team mates shoved one of my old gamer buddies into a locker and beat him up, that my fate was drawn. I was a gamer, and I would stand for justice...so I helped my friend up from the floor, helped my team mate to the floor, and began my true love for video gaming proudly.
Since then, I've left the sports and opted for gym to sustain my exercise habits. Otherwise, I've been playing games since before I could probably walk. As soon as I acquired the use of my thumbs and index fingers, my hand were glued to a controller. So since then, I never put it down again. Writing for me however was another passion that walked a fine line with gaming as well. I am a full time writer for television, and I write a show called Wild Ltd. But that still did not nourish my hunger for writing about video games. So here I am now, busting my fingers for the industry I love and living my days in the in the only way I know...the gamer way.
What do I want to be when I grow up you ask? You did ask that didn't you? Maybe that was my 3rd Grade teacher...mmmm. Well, nothing major or impossible. A Space Pirate Captain. Yes, that's right...a Space Pirate Captain. And all of you are welcome to join my crew of solar sea dogs and sail the seven million galaxies, plundering and pillaging as we go along! AAAAAAAAARGH!
