Jamie can be found writing about indie games and chatting to developers about their upcoming titles. He'd love to buy all the retro consoles he had growing up; Amiga, SNES, N64, PS1, Dreamcast; but his wife would kill him, plus she needs the money to fill the house with more plants - you can never have enough plants apparently. Instead he games on his PS4 and uses his laptop as a sort of retro time machine, playing ports of classics, or the latest indie homage to JRPGs, CRPGs, or point and click adventure games. Also loves sushi, star wars, and sci-fi/fantasy books.

Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials
