John Morano

I'm a 23-year-old college student, currently in my last undergraduate semester at Monmouth University. I've majored in communication studies and minored in psychology, with the intent of applying this to video games.

My favorite games include Warframe, Final Fantasy VIII, and The World Ends With You.
