Some of my favorite games are Portal, World of Warcraft, Tetris, In the Pit, Super Mario Bros., Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, and Papers, Please.

I track my collection as well as gaming progression on Backloggery. It’s a great site, so check it out.

With both writing and gaming as passions, it’s no surprise that I’ve dabbled in game journalism. I write here, have been published on WoW Insider and Engadget, am an editor at Game Boyz, and have attended and covered events such as E3, 1C Company’s Another Night in Moscow at the Russian Consulate, and game launches. Check my game journalism log for more details if interested.
