I like to write about playing games, obviously. Right now stuck in the south, watching regional sports television for a living, but less than a year away from moving to Seattle and hopefully doing something for a living.

In a weird experiment I try to avoid games that require any language skills at all and find the results surprising.

Racing is a sport where you have a controller (the wheel) wired into a machine (the vehicle) and you look through a screen (the windshield) to see where you’re going...so why aren't racing sims more like a sim than a game?

Nintendo has realized it's finally time to take us back into the clouds with Pit, but maybe it's also time to get back to the islands with Mike Jones.

When you look for a new console, you choose by taking into account what has more games you'd want to play. What happens when you do that with the new motion control devices from Sony and Microsoft?

"I always felt there should be a "Crossfire" type show, but for games. That could be difficult unless you found a good group that varied in their tastes and could keep the arguments reasonable but entertaining."

I really believe that games journalism needs to get more professional, stand up together and fight the PR machine that the game industry has become, and start writing pieces about games, gaming, and it's related culture, not just news. I'm a big proponent of the latter, as I don't enjoy writing reviews, previews, or news, I enjoy writing about the culture and the history. Magazines like Kill Screen and sites like this where there is more writing in that style are hopefully the future, or any kind of respectable games journalism is doomed."
