Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.

I was a child of a tech family. My grandfather was a nuclear physicist and was always a gadget guy.

Obviously geek culture is super influential, the web kind of started from a very geeky point of view because geeks are all about technology.

I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day.

What I love about what I get to do is that I'm allowed to create the stories that I want to tell with minimal interference by some very big corporations like Microsoft and Sprint and EA and BioWare. The advantage that these tech companies have is that they understand the space organically, versus traditional media companies.

As far as the MMOs go, especially with the voice chat, it becomes like hanging out with your friends in a chat channel, and you're playing at the same time. So it becomes a lot more social than people would probably think.
