Meet the Team: Jason Dobson

- Name: Jason Dobson
- Job Position: Blogger, drinker of Kool-Aid
- Past Experience/Education: I graduated with a BA in MIS from Northeastern State University in Oklahoma in 2000. I began writing about games on my own website etoychest.org as part of a senior project, which got my foot in the door with a handful of other gaming sites, including Gamasutra, Serious Games Source, and of course Joystiq.
- Life outside of the 'Stiq: I'm 33, married, and a proud father of a young son who is well on his way to being a gaming nerd himself, and have 2 rambunctious miniature dachshunds and an Italian greyhound. The Dobson house is a zoo.
- Why I'm blogging: Since I've been old enough to know spikes = death, I've been in love with video games, and if there's one thing I like more than playing games, it's talking about them.
- First game experience: The first game I remember playing was probably Windham Classics' PC adventure game Below the Root, a game I have still never finished
- Favorite games: Wizardry 7, bar none. In fact, Wizardry 6–8 make up one of the best trilogies of video game nirvana ever put to code.
- Who shot the food? Duh, the elf.

I want Ludwig... in a gerbil habitat on my desk. That would be neat. I would even decorate it to mimic his homeland; with little baby rhino toys, too.
This is why we need to expand resources for cloning.

You win so hard for owning Dachshunds (aka the best breed of dog ever).

You graduated at a college like six miles from my house!

This one didn't really do it for me. Maybe because I can't "W00T" to anything that was said. Anyway, Hi Jason! I'd hate to have your name, just because it's so similar to James... -shudder-

This picture is a good reason why you should never attempt to hug Wolverine.

On the "looks like Gordon Freeman" scale, I'll give you a 7.
Also, it's a good thing you have that 1up on your shirt.
Also also, I really really really wanted to get into wizardy, but since I missed the boat on it, it became a bit too old school for me.

what does that wolverine thing DO?! i saw it at urban outfitters but it was $20... I really wanted one though....

I think the 'drinker of Kool-Aid' is far to broad. We need to know what kind of Kool-Aid. I am a light blue and green drinker myself.

You need to use grunspeak at the top with your shuba to glide accross.. once there - collect some wisenberries.. this will enable you to kiniport your body to that guy up on the rock..

He looks like the guy from the South Park WOW episode, the guy they're fighting against. Same pose and everything.
