About

I am a video game developer, mostly known for creating Fallout. I plan to use this channel to tell stories about game development, including stories about design, programming, team building, working for development companies, pitching to game publishers, and even a few stories about my short stint as a co-owner of a company, Troika Games. I have been doing this for more than forty years, so I have a lot of stories to tell. I also eat a lot of dark chocolate.

I talk about how you should play games, but feeling like you need to play ALL games before you can discuss, review, develop, or finish your own games is a trap.
