Kitten giving a thumbs up.

Wow, thank you so much to everyone who has followed me here! Beyond grateful.
There’s been a reason for my recent silence — I’m going back to academia! I will be moving from an industry job back to working at a university, the research team are incredible and I’m beyond excited.

Hatsune Miku Project Diva f for PlayStation Vita

Rhythm games mean so much to me as a genre that completely submerges my head and hands for five minutes before I get back to conquering the world. I know people associate me with Taiko no Tatsujin, but Project Diva f held me together in my final year of undergrad.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

The fact that Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is the hardest I've ever cried at a piece of entertainment is a testament to the quality of the writing and the level of storytelling involved. I wholeheartedly believe this is a game for everyone, please play it!

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Have to start with the two games that're responsible for my life now.
Grew up obsessed with Devil May Cry, knew of someone who loved it too, met up with them to play Marvel vs Capcom 3.
We're now engaged, have a house and an adorable dog together.

Get to know my game taste. For every like, I will post one game I love.

Hello friends old and new!
Haven’t done something like this in years for fear of annoying 6000+ people, thought it’d be fun to do here in a more intimate space.

Hello friends old and new! I love spreading the good word about gaming and wellbeing so I'm looking forward to the future of this place.

It's not just video games and research, I also have a very cute dog to share!
