When I started studying I wanted to do an internship at LucasArts, didn’t care which department. I loved the games, be it the classic Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, the legendary Monkey Island or Jedi Knight. I scoured the Website for fitting openings and fantasized what it would be like, living alone in the US and being a part of creating these worlds, these stories. In the end, I stayed, and, years later, turned my back on the world of PC games and went running instead. Today I am assassin, cyborg, ranger, spec ops-agent, an empress’ luckless bodyguard, master-thief o witcher, depending on which story I want to play. I own two consoles and a growing collection of games, some of which I know by heart, others of which I am only beginning to explore. Mostly I play loners who have to deal with baddies and conspiracy in various ways, though stealth is my passion. I love the worlds, ranging from Renaissance Italy to cyber-punk Detroit, being part of a story in a way no book or movie could let you experience them. Here you will find reviews of the games I have played or am currently playing, books I am reading, places I am exploring. Comments are welcome.
