So apparently the average time it takes before someone quits jobs similar to mine is a meek two years. Well, I've got a few more months to go until I hit that mark with RPGamer, but I don't see anything stopping me that soon.

Heylo, my name's Phil, and after being the Co-Head of News & Media for over a year, I've taken on RPGamer's brand spankin' new "Senior Analyst" position. What does this entail, exactly? Mostly, I'm responsible for coming up with ways to improve the site. At the time of writing, my influence on the overall scheme of things has been relatively minimal, but you folks will be seeing a few of my more influential brainstorms manifest themselves soon. Other than that, I do a lot of random things such as reviews, special features or coverage that generally don't fall in the news, media, or interaction sections, and news, because gaming journalism is still lodged into my soul.RPGamer aside, I currently live in Louisville, Kentucky (well, actually Jeffersontown, Kentucky, a suburb about 15 minutes away from downtown, but my address actually says Louisville...) and am fulfilling the stereotypical gamer persona quite well in that I'm in between jobs, and don't really get out that often. Things will change soon, however...

I enjoy good conversation, so feel free to hit me up using the following avenues:
