I'd call myself a casual gamer but when the right adventure game comes along I can easily lose anywhere from a weekend to a week on it. Most of my teenage years were spent lost in this way and it was all sparked off by an original copy of MYST I found at a car-boot sale. Apart from adventure gaming I spend a lot of time reading, and watching TV, mainly 'Lost'.
In my spare time I have a small blog which I post on where there's some info on the other writing I do.
Favourite Games: Myst (+ sequels), The Longest Journey, Discworld Noir, Broken Swords 1+2, The Curse of Monkey Island
