Tim, just keep writing.

Though I haven't heard your music, I know that writing is your gift.

Please keep sharing that gift, and let us know when you plan on having a book come out.

I would just like to say that i seriously envy your clarity of understanding in the video game industry (and as it would appear by this bio, everything else). Today i was going to write something about why super Mario brothers is perfect, and how it could be compared to the successes and failings of other games, and looked on Kotaku to find every point i was going to make was already made by you. Your easy understanding of how something works and why it works is something i aspire to. i read your article on "can video games be our friends" and found that to be the most insightful look at gaming i had ever read, and now this one comes along and tops it. keep up the good work. that, and make a video game plz.

@dracosummoner: well, i have plenty of jobs. i just don't like most of them.

the questionably starred commenter who captains this particular thread seems to think that my certificate in journalism was my wannabe golden ticket into the CIA. not so! i also have degrees in chinese, russian, and farsi. that would be one way into the CIA! the certificate in journalism was mostly just for fun.

I can imagine that that would be quite .. intriguing. The subject matter would certainly be quite original!

@trit: I don't think your computer setup is ergonomically correct... you should probably move your monitor six inches or so to the left, and put some books underneath it so it's at eye level. #about

This article disappoints me :-( and I'm not sure this Tim Rogers could ever understand why. Which sucks because it sounds like he's spent his entire life being able to understand things at a relatively fast pace.

Wow, a new bio, and it seems to tell of monthly columns written by Tim Rogers. If this does indeed happen I will be quite pleased as I have grown quite accustomed to reading your columns in gamesTM each month with near menstrual efficiency, and you can never have too much of a good thing.

May I also add that this is probably only the first time I have read something by you in the third person. How does it feel without the mighty "I" with which you can voice your opinions?

@simplyPARTICLE: well, you know, the reviews on Action Button are written in the first-person plural (the "royal we"), or else completely focused on the game and not on "me" -- and i can't TELL you how many flaming comments / emails i get re: each review telling me that the reader would have enjoyed the review "more" if i would have stopped talking about myself -- even though the word "i" never appears once!

people just don't read, sometimes.

anyway, i will strive to make my kotaku columns WAY better than my gamesTM columns because

1. they are paying me more

2. no word limit!

3. can't embed youtube videos in a magazine!

i will also strive to include at least one video of me playing the guitar in each column. (probably (purposely) terribly)

it could be fun!
