On the occasions when I'm not talking about how good the Persona series is, I'm probably playing video games. When I'm not playing games, I'm probably talking about them on the Tiny Disc Podcast. I also enjoy practicing my cooking and mixology. Hit me up on Twitter, @Pinoptimist.

I am a writer and designer who has moved over thirty-five times in my life, including to South Korea for about four years. I may have started off with a Gameboy Pocket, but over the years I have fallen in love with hundreds of games. I'll play any game that can immerse me storywise and transports me to another world, so I'm not picky about genres or consoles. Just give me a coffee and game, and I'll be happy as a Dwarf at Brewfest!

The last one is a joke, hopefully.

I have been playing games since SNES made its debut and still have the system. While I do have the newer consoles I like to go back to the old school systems like SNES, PS1, and N64 from time to time. I grew up on fighting games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat. I love adventure games like Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, and Metal Gear. I guess you could say there aren't many games I would not enjoy playing. If I had to pick an all time favorite, it would have to be Ninja Gaiden 2 for Xbox 360.

Today he spends his days analyzing everything he plays, no matter how small it may be, as well as fighting not to get back into PSO2, where he claims to have over 2bn MST worth of cosmetics (although everyone knows he hardly has 100 MST in his possession).

I'm a 22 year old UNC Chapel Hill grad who knows more about Pokemon than I do myself. I've been interested in video games from a young age, and they have influenced me my entire life, leading me to study Japanese in college, with a dream of someday being able to translate the games I love so much! I've been a lifelong writer dabbling in both fiction and essay writing and I hope to use it to share my love of video games with the world. In my free time I draw, watch anime, watch other people play video games, or play video games myself, with my favorites including any Pokemon game, Fire Emblem, Persona, Tales of, Okami, Xenoblade Chronicles, Bravely Default, and Final Fantasy 15.
