My Writing
I've been writing for longer than I've been making games or music, and still do it!
My main writing project was a a post apocalyptic, scifi alternative universe known as The Demonic War, which makes up the bulk of my writings, but recently this has taken a back seat to more varied material.
Disclaimer: Some of my writing is not suitable for younger readers. Blood and violence and all those fun things. Go play video games or something kids!
CURRENT PROJECTS NOT FEATURED ON HERE:
Bullet and Cigarette: a surreal, scifi adventure about one man and his dog fighting to for revenge against an enemy the don't really know about for a crime they can't remember. Everybody else remembers even less than they do. In a world with no memory of a catastrophe, can man and beast set things right?
Assyblian: Vekro ni Drontas: An abstract scifi horror about the collision of two worlds, and the annihilation of all we hold dear. I started writing this for NanoWrimo 2011 but then got a job which took up basically all of my time, though I do intend to finish it. I also expect it will be largely incomprehensible, which is kind of the point.

The Demonic War
I used to write a lot for The Demonic War, and at one point even ran a roleplay forum based largely around it. However I've grown a little tired of it, and the continually expanding universe has started to gain internal conflicts. I'm considering a bit of a reboot, but here's everything I've written for it so far.
In roughly chronological order of writing, oldest first.
THE END OF D13, in which I start off the demonic war saga at the age of 15.
FADING, in which I further explore the fate of a character from the previous story
BLITZED, in which we see another version of events following the end of Unit D13
DOWN, in which a man running from more than his past has a severe encounter
OUTSIDE, in which a disgraced scientist finds something very interesting
STALKING, in which we observe a demon in its unnatural habitat
THE FACE, in which a man with a scary face does horrible things to strangers

Other Fiction
Here's everything else I've written outside of the demonic war. I tend to write surreal flash fiction mostly.
In no particular order...
THE IMPLANT, in which I write stream of consciousness because I was hot and stressed
JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR DEACON SMITH, in which an assassin does his thing. This is part of Human 2.0, another story universe I came up with and then proceeded to do very little with.
I AM A LEGEND, in which a silly screenplay is produced out of boredom
HUNTERS IN THE SKY, in which the hunt for Skywhals continues
NO DOGS ALLOWED, in which dogs try and eat you
SCORVE KILLS ELLEN, in which Human 2.0 skips the entire first story arc and half of the second, and two major villains face off.

Game Design/Reviews
I love games. I love game design. Lets talk about those things! Links to my articles on games/design.
SANITY METER IMPROVEMENT, in which I consider the ways sanity/insanity has been simulated in games, what has been wrong with it, and how to make it better.
MASS EFFECT THE NES GAME, in which I mentally demake Mass Effect for the NES
GAMES ARE TOO LONG, in which I explain why many games are needlessly long, and argue in favour of shorter, more intense and full experiences
GLOBAL INVENTORY GAMEPLAY MECHANIC, in which I propose a mechanic for the game world to have it's own dynamic inventory from which to source items for its inhabitants
HAZE DEMAKE CONCEPT, in which I consider demaking a game I spent hours and hours testing, removing many of the areas which were not to my tastes
CAVE FULL OF SPIDERS RETROSPECTIVE, in which I deliver a post mortem of my first ever game, Cave Full of Spiders.
TRAPPED BY THE DEAD RETROSPECTIVE, in which I deliver a post mortem of my second, and far less successful in almost every aspect, game.
REVIEWS, in which I tell you what I think of games of course. These take a fairly design centric perspective and often go into more detail than standard reviews on the specifics of the design decisions and the benefits and problems they present.
15 MINUTES AT GAMECITY7- (Criticism of a gaming event rather than an actual game)
FINAL FANTASY XIII
RESIDENT EVIL: OPERATION RACCOON CITY
FABLE 3
ENSLAVED: ODYSSEY TO THE WEST
ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS
SUPER CRATE BOX
