About Mina Smith

Mina has been playing video games for her whole life. She hails from Virginia in the USA, and she loves cozy games, FPSs, MMOs, and puzzle games. She lives in Richmond with her husband and her kitty, Kaalia. She currently owns a PlayStation 5, a gaming PC, and a Nintendo Switch.

Favorite Console

Her favorite console of all time is probably the Nintendo Switch; it's versitile as it can be both a TV console and a portible one. It's a fantastic innovation for gamers everywhere. Mina says her second favoite is probably the NES because it was her first console, but that's probably nostalgia talking.

Favorite Games

Mina's favorite games of all time are Baten Kaitos and Final Fantasy 1. Baten Kaitos was one of the first games she played for the GameCube, and she has held onto the ancient system all these years just to be able to play it. Final Fantasy 1 is the first game she remembers obsessively playing, and she still ranomdizes and speed runs FF1 to this day. She also loves a variety of other games, including:
- Unpacking
- Baldur's Gate 3
- TOEM
- The Watermelon Game
- Final Fantasy X
- Slay the Spire
- Lucy Dreamig

Industry Focus

While Mina writes a whole lot of different kinds of articles, they are all about video games. She mostly focuses on guides, helping people to get through challenging puzzles and pick load outs for the most fun gaming experience possible. However, she has also writted reviews and gaming news. Her focus and expertise is all about puzzle games and indie titles.
