I have to avoid things like 'World of Warcraft' or 'Minecraft', otherwise I'd never get any work done.

I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.

I wanted to be able to write in the voice that I talk to my friends and assume that everybody would know what I was talking about.

Cops pull me over just to get a better look. They never give me a ticket, even if I'm speeding, but they will ask to take pictures.

A river of words flowed between us.

Everybody has this fond association with the car from Back to the Future, but most people have never seen one. I've seen people drive off the berm trying to take pictures. It ends up being dangerous.

My favorite video game of all time is called 'Black Tiger'. It's a Capcom Dungeons and Dragons game from 1987. I have the actual arcade version sitting in my office.
