Ever wonder why Iām in Japan? Or how I got this super duper job? No? Well then, donāt click past the jump. If so, hey, clicky-clack away.
A few weeks back, tech journo Victor Godinez from my hometown paper The Dallas Morning News did a profile on me ā and I was finally sent the hard copy by my parents. Iām rather tickled to be in the DMN as it was the first newspaper I ever read.
The article is right next to Dear Abby, and thereās my picture ā a picture that my wife says makes me look like it should be on a Wanted Poster.
In the profile, I talk a bit about how I got to Japan, how I got this gig and about arcades and Arcade Mania. There are two versions of the interview: a shorty and a slightly longer Directorās Cut version. Read either, both or neither. Whichever!
