Twine is a simple programming tool that allows the user to create simple text-based adventure games, much like the Choose Your Own Adventure books of old. \n\nRelatively simple though it is, users have created complex stories of breathtaking scope and (to those who know of and experience them) great significance.\n\nI wrote this resumé in Twine to demonstrate that, though I may not know much about programming, I am not afraid to try learning something new.\n\n<<back Hub>>

My talents lie primarily in writing, creative thinking on a time crunch (what former college student can't say the same?), and researching. My work on the Ontological Geek requires a monthly writing/editing schedule, which I was able to keep while finishing my senior year in college. I have never missed a deadline, and in fact am able to work at a very rapid pace.\n\nI am also a very fast learner, capable of picking up new concepts, and mastering them, quickly. For example, though I am not very skilled with coding or programming, I coded this resumé using the open-source engine [[Twine]], with which I had only nominal experience before now.\n\n<<back Hub>>

Why would I want to work for Bungie, creators of the Marathon and Halo games? Well, because you're Bungie!\n\nMy first introduction to the initial XBOX was a game called Halo: Combat Evolved (Perhaps you've heard of it?). And it was good. Having never been much of a multiplayer fan, I became absorbed in the fiction of this game that launched a legitimate console family. It was one of the coolest fictional worlds my eleven-year-old self had ever encountered.\n\nBut gradually I became aware of the other projects Bungie had been involved with, the labrynthine, hardcore sci-fi world of Marathon. It was there, in games and stories unhindered by Microsoft's leash that I saw the true extent of what Bungie's storytellers could do. \n\n[[And I want to be a part of that.|Bungie2]]

There's no denying the direction in which games are heading; far from simply running right and jumping over/on things, games are increasingly becoming vehicles for compelling, meaningful stories. Just as a century ago, when the first film directors began to appear and people realized that there was more to thes fancy machines that projected shadows onto walls, the industry, even the world, is realizing that the medium of games is capable of so much more than what it's been used for previously.\n\nAnd I want to be a part of that. I want to help you as you change the face of gaming.\n\nIn addition to having been a writer for over a decade, I've spent the last year and a half actively writing about games at [[The Ontological Geek|Geek1]].

Bethesda games have been perhaps the most formative in my career as a writer. I've played many Bethesda titles, and have loved them all without exception.\n\nIn a market increasingly flooded with depthless sandboxes and lifeless worlds, Bethesda has never failed to create game worlds that are alive and felt as though they have been so for centuries before the player has started his or her adventure. Since Oblivion, where the games first truly learned to talk (Morrowind, the first major Elder Scrolls game with actual voiced lines, still relied heavily on text to tell its story), Bethesda's releases have only become to feel more alive, to where the worlds of Tamriel and the Capitol Wasteland have become my adventuring locales of choice.\n\nAnd I want to be a part of that. I want to help you bring those worlds to life.\n\nIn addition to having gamed for as long as I can remember, I've spent the last year and a half actively writing about games at [[The Ontological Geek|Geek1]].

This position, as I understand it, involves creating content for a new game called Destiny. Everything I've seen about this game makes it sound like something I want very much to help create.

Why would I like to work with Obsidian? Well, I've been a fan of Obsidian since KOTOR II, where the impossible task of improving an incredible game was met and surpassed, even in its rushed state. And if we're being honest, Fallout: New Vegas is probably my favorite game of all time (as an examination of my [[CV]] will indicate). I have always marvelled at Obsidian's ability to take amazing games that are already strong on story and make those changes needed to transform them into legends.\n\nAnd I want to be a part of that. I want to help make legends.\n\nI realize that I am not, at first glance, a no-brainer shoe-in candidate for a games writer, having never shipped a single game.
