About Thomas Hawkins

I've been playing video games almost my entire life, with a particular preference for RPGs, Strategy Games, and 3D Platformers. When I'm not writing or gaming, I usually work on my own game projects or do a spot of baking.

Favorite Games

Elden Ring, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, Persona 5 Royal, and City of Heroes typically come to mind first when I'm thinking of my favourite games. The Spyro Trilogy (and Especially Year of the Dragon) also ranks highly for me, as does Sly 3 and Jak 2.

Favorite Anime

My Anime preferences are pretty varied, but my favourites are Digimon (Especially Season 3), Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (Part 2 is my favorite so far), and Kill la Kill.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Easily the Platinum Trophy for Armored Core 6, which I spent a long time learning all the little details of. I'm also pretty proud of my 117% completion (yes that's the right number) of Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
