While his academic credentials are from Austin College and Rice University, his gaming “cred” stretches back to leading the Games SIG of the Apple Corps of Dallas at age 14. He has been a reviewer and feature writer at Inside Mac Games and MacReactor (where he was an Assistant Editor) back in an era when the Mac was a more robust gaming platform. He has recently returned to writing reviews and features at the gaming blog Tomodom, including his feature series “Heroes in the Academy,” a look at video games and their business through academic models. He is strangely proud he still owns bagged copies of Ultima and Aklabeth.
