About Me


Currently I'm working (full-time) as host/staff writer for IGN Entertainment !
Enjoy all the upcoming event coverage,tips and tricks, and developer/editorial interviews as you can stand!
If IGN Entertainment is too slick of a production for you and you'd like to get a little more down & dirty, check out my personal YouTube page: Chobotenator .
These little snippets of my life are taken with my crappy Sony CyberShot (or borrowed work camcorder) and are utterly nonsensical.If you're a TOTAL stalker and need even more connections to my private life, head over the my Facebook page (am I allowed to post that here???)It doesn't get much more unprofessional than this folks!
Some side projects include:- Currently working w/ Steven Lisberger of Tron fame on a new script! Announced as Soul Code . The script has been sold to Reliant Pictures, the article(s) in Variety released and wheels set in motion. Wish us luck!
More IGN stuff: Bi-weekly article for IGN's newly launched anime/manga channel. It goes by the name: Super Happy Fun Write!
Want to read my blog posts? They're not here. Instead, head over to IGN Blogs! Now in FULL EFFECT! Look for my IGN.com blog: The Baroness
It isn't all about me though-I can be a team player too! Check out IGN.com's newly launched video channel here on MySpace Video!
Every Monday evening around 5:00 (Eastern Time)and 10:15 am (PST)I join in on Maxim's Sirius Radio station. Feel free to call in, and I'll answer your queries & problems as truthfully as possible.
