Author of the Captain Gamer webnovel and webcomic, as well as the proprietor of the website they reside in.
Longtime lurker, recent contributor. Self-professed "video game scholar" who wrings every bit of stab-in-the-dark meaning from gameplay and/or plot, or goes the other way to see what games apply to any given trope. Enjoys thrusting more obscure games into the mix. Oddly enough, is NOT the originator of Captain Gamer examples on this site. Can't say that ALL such examples aren't by his hand, though.
