I am head of game development at Armor Games, a small game developer and game website. I have always had a passion for video game politics and history, researching how they have influenced mainstream society from the early 1970's to the present. My studies in college focused a lot on how the industry has evolved and has become part of the home entertainment market.

In my free time I love to ride my road bike and enjoy the sights of the web. I also enjoy scuba diving and traveling when the opportunity comes :).

This has got to be one of the coolest mods ever. Someone managed to squeeze an entire famicom into an NES cartridge.

This Virtual Wall concept replaces stoplights with a much larger more expensive way to notify drivers that if they don't stop, their wheel wells will become clogged with pedestrians.

The watermark for IGN accidentally appears on the Wii box... whether this was a bad Photoshop or just a strange error is beyond me.
