I’m sort of known as the local “horder” amongst my group of friends. I collect video games and video game memorabilia, and I rarely sell my games after completing them. Walking into my game room can often feel like walking into a video game museum in many ways, but unlike most collectors I...

I review books as well as video games. A book takes me about 5 hours, maybe less, to play through it. I don’t ever get stuck in a particularly tough boss chapter section where either my skills or the book’s design prevent me from moving forward. I watch movies, too. I can imagine that reviewing...
