The people who write these stories paint vivid pictures of characters that come to life and force us to either love or hate them.

I love how video games allow you to be in so many different scenarios. It's like music, there's a game for every person in any situation. Console gaming is my favorite, but you can find me on a pc from time to time. I'm an avid kung fu lover and own 265 Shaw Bros. movies. Currently I'm working on a book and I also write for ThoseGamers.com.
