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.

Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
Steam Summer Blues
This mess of dross, confusion, and terrible UI design is the storefront the big publishers couldn't beat? Amazing.
Why I Hated Resident Evil 4
Ever wonder how seemingly sane people can hate popular games? It can happen!
Spec Ops: The Line
A videogame that judges its audience, criticizes its genre, and hates its premise. How did this thing get made?
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
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.
