In the world of professional game blogging, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups: the bloggers who investigate the stories and readers who make silly comments. These are the first group's stories.
- Name: Scott Jon Siegel
- Job Position: Blogger / Columnist
- Past Experience/Education: Four years as a Literature and Integrated Arts major at Bard College; Game Politics correspondent from way back in the day.
- Live Outside of the 'Stiq: Just moved to San Francisco, following a six-month stint living it up in the South of France (Bonjour! Où est la bibliothèque?). When I'm not blogging, I'm designing games, and blogging some more. I'm also engaged to an awesome blogger. Imagine that!
- Why I'm blogging: I like writing, I like video games, and I like paying my rent on time, so it made sense. I started as a columnist (Off the Grid's coming back soon, I swear), and graduated into a full-time blogging position once I got out of college.
- First game experience: I really can't remember. Must've been so awesome it erased itself from my consciousness, lest I become incapacitated by its glory. Obviously.
- Favorite games: Rez, Metroid II, Chrono Trigger, and basically everything in this photo.
- What do you really look like? This, plus 16 years or so.
There's
more to come every Tuesday and Thursday.

You may hide your face from the Internets, Scott, but we will find you.

The guy on the right looks so depressed.

Just had my pills Mr Siegel, and you're looking mighty tasty.

Haha, yet another clever entry in the Joystiq meta posts.
Huzzah, on someone else liking Metroid II!

Cool.
Much respect for designing games. Did you ever finish petrol panic. It sounds kinda cool.
I think I might try to juggle the numbers in it sometime this summer, unless you are done.

I found the final version of Petrol Panic. I'm gonna try it.

Did you do some crazy searching or did you already have that page bookmarked?
