Well, hello there! I'm Aaron, and I work in the cutthroat realm of games journalism, where the slightest misstep can spell certain death.
I was born in Phoenix, AZ, a place much too hot and miserable for a pale, pasty kid like me, but spent most of my life in the graciously temperate lilac city of Spokane in Washington State. I attended college at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA, where I studied English with a focus on creative writing and media studies. I still live here, because moving is hard and expensive.
I've been playing games since I was little, and have since developed my obsession into an avid focus on games as a creative medium. My reign of tyranny in the realm of games journalism began at Destructoid, where I worked as an associate editor and, later, reviews editor. I'm currently pissing people off at Shacknews, and have since January of 2008.
