About William Carter

William (He/Him) is a features writer covering all things RPG, and action/adventure. Sometimes dabbles in other genres, and big advocate for easy modes in games.
In his spare time, William is a keen sports fan, following the Seattle Seahawks and spends much of his free time on the golf course, and binging the Uncharted series for the hundredth time.

But mostly, William just likes writing about Persona 4.

Favorite TV Shows

Other favourite TV series' include Smallville, Justified, Doc Martin, Heartbeat, Home and Away, Coronation Street, and Friday Night Lights.

Favorite Movies

The Social Network is William's favourite film, which he believes to be the perfect blend of witty writing, strong performances, and wonderful editing. He also has a particular fondness for American Pie 2, which he believes to be the greatest coming of age film ever made (yes, he seriously believes this).

More of William's favourite games include Persona 4 Golden, BioShock, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Final Fantasy XIV, Mass Effect 2, and Stardew Valley.
