- ≈35 years of gaming experience, going back to the Sinclair Spectrum days, though the various generations of Amiga, to PC from 1994 onwards, practically all consoles from the fourth generation onwards, through to now.
- Back in the day, I played a lot of PlanetSide [www.mobygames.com] and BattleField 2 [www.mobygames.com], and collected more than a few war stories.
- Played EVE Online [www.eveonline.com] for 10 years (before retiring), which probably accounts for my scepticism.
- Spent 7 years running EVE University [www.eveuniversity.org] in EVE Online, herding cats.
- Council Member on CSM7 [community.eveonline.com] in EVE Online, as an Internet Space Politician.
- Founded DUST University [www.dustuniversity.org] in DUST 514 [www.dust514.com] (on PlayStation 3)
- Worked on PlanetSide [www.planetside2.com] at Sony Online Entertainment [www.soe.com], crunching numbers.
- I was the Technical Designer on H11 [www.H1Z1.com] , and designed many of the core systems, as well as created the majority of the residential environments, wrote the script for the trailer, and various other things.
