About Devin Friend
Devin Friend is a graduate of McNeese State University with a bachelor's degree in creative writing. Starting from the day that he played Super Mario Kart on a Super Nintendo that he received as a gift, he has been fascinated with games. That compared with a childhood love of cartoons formed a desire to research and analyze all things fictional. He digs deep into many games, looking into characters, plotlines, and other sources of information that can be found, either critiquing or expanding on the world of the game in question. There is a special place in his heart for older games, especially those that he either grew up with, or has spent a lot of time revisiting over the years. Game glitches, cheats, and innovative strategies are particular points of interest for him. When not playing games or writing about them, Devin is frequently brainstorming ideas for his dream of being a published novelist.
