Some time ago, we here at RPGamer adopted a new stricter system for writing reviews. The original plan was for each review posted on site to be screened by two other official reviewers. Somehow this quite quickly changed to a policy where every review was screened by me. While the task of harping over the grammar of half a dozen people can be quite time consuming, it gives me a sense of pride to know that every review on the site lives up to a standard I'm comfortable with.

Obviously I don't spend all my time writing and proofreading reviews. Most of my day is spent playing through RPGs in order to review them. RPGamer has always had a policy that no game can be reviewed until it has been completed. Normally this isn't a big deal, but when I receive a review copy of an hundred hour game just under two weeks before the release date, it can become quite a challenge to beat the clock. This policy is also the reason why the average score of my reviews is a bit above a 5. The truly terrible games have a tendency to gather dust, particularly when not officially assigned to me.

While to be quite honest there isn't more to my life than the playing and reviewing of games, when I take a break to get some air, the scenery is quite nice. I live in a small secluded area surrounded by trees, but within walking distance of civilization.

Since there isn't much more to be said about me, and I still have some space to fill, let me just make a general reply to all the e-mail I've ever received about my reviews since my e-mail setup doesn't allow me to do so directly.

If you have a problem with an aspect of one of my reviews and wonder what I was thinking, read it again and pay more attention.

If you found a review of mine particularly helpful and complimented me on it, I'm glad I could be of service.
