I’m Shamus Young, a 34 year old software engineer and a happily married father of 3. In my free time I tend to play videogames, watch Anime, play D&D, and write software of dubious value. I also tend to write about these things here.
I don’t have any sort of degree.
You can probably extrapolate the rest by just looking around the site. I’m a stereotypical nerd. I’m the author of this Cyberpunk novel, and was the guy behind this politcal satire site.

Grand Theft Railroad
Grand Theft Auto is a lousy, cheating jerk of a game.
Mass Effect Retrospective
A novel-sized analysis of the Mass Effect series that explains where it all went wrong. Spoiler: It was long before the ending.
Batman: Arkham Origins
A breakdown of how this game faltered when the franchise was given to a different studio.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
You look like PC from those new Mac commercials. ^_^
Dude, I hope to be your age and still do all these things.
It really makes me happy seeing there are people out there still who can appreciate the finer things in life!
keep it real !
Later.
Well, Shamus, I’m right about your same age, trained as a radar electronics technician but currently working in photographic equipment sales, happily married father of 1. Obviously, with similar interests, of course.
Nice to see I’m not the only ‘grown-up professional’ that still finds time to ‘play’.
Has anyone ever told you you look like Bill Gates?
Hysterical and endearing.
