About

Half of the work in getting a Ph.D is purely logistical. This is my attempt to create a degree of coherence in the influx of game-related news, data, tidbits, announcements, CFPs, book reviews, commentary and nonsense that finds its way onto my screen every day.

Currently in my 5th year, my primary directive is the completion of my dissertation project at Columbia University. In addition, I write extensively on video games for both academic and commercial audiences. Some consistent tropes are: gaming bibliography, mods, big games, wargames, and video game vocabulary.
