Hi.
I'm 24. I'm a writer. I've got a few screenplays under my belt and I'm shopping around a novel. I'd also love (LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE) to write for games someday.
In my spare time, and pretty much all my other time, I play games - adventure games are dearest to my heart, but I love just about anything you can throw at me, except for RTS games, at which I am uniformly terrible. I'm a lifelong PC gamer, but most of my non-adventure gaming these days is on the PS3. I've been playing adventure games literally as long as I can remember, but really got into the genre in 1996 when my dad brought home a bargain bin copy of Sins of the Fathers (apparently not realizing that a game featuring a man hanging from a noose on the cover might not be the best choice for a nine-year old).
These days I've spent time going back through old classics that I missed the first time around rather than playing a lot of modern adventure games... but I suspect that's about to change.
Favorite Adventure Games: Grim Fandango, Curse of Monkey Island, Full Throttle, Gabriel Knight (series), Myst (series), The Last Express, A Mind Forever Voyaging, Photopia, L.A. Noire.
Favorite Non-Adventure Games:
ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid (series), Silent Hill (series), Half-Life 2, Red Dead Redemption

This surreal experimental indie is intriguing at first, but the lack of gameplay or coherent story is a blunt force blow to its interactive photographic experience.
