Hello! I’m GamesBeat’s Culture Editor. Over the past decade I’ve written for various sites and magazines such as gamesTM, PC Zone, X360, and Destructoid. Even though I own them all, my favorite console is (still) the Sega Saturn. I mostly write unique game guides, top 10-type posts, and editorials exploring or celebrating gaming culture.

 

I also co-founded an indie game company and am currently working on Z., a crowd-funded zombie trading card game, among others.

 

Full disclosure: Crystal Dynamics Community Manager Meagan Marie is my girlfriend and to avoid any conflicts I do not cover Crystal Dynamics news or products (such as Tomb Raider) in my articles. http://venturebeat.com/ethics-statement/
