Sorry, Gamestop, That’s Not How It Works [Stealing Stuff You Paid For]

On joining the games industry

There was a portion of my life where I was certain I’d be a computer programmer. Well, not really a programmer, more like the guy who hooks computers together; a networking guy; the dude with the wire closet. That didn’t pan out, however, but giving it the Old College Try™ did yield certain benefits. Out …
