GW @ TTH: So, let's start this off by asking you to tell us a little about yourself! I'm sure that lots of people out there are curious about the background of those getting into a career related to game design.

Kevin Gadd: My name's Kevin Gadd, and I'm 19 years old. I grew up in Sacramento, California, and recently moved to Issaquah, Washington. I've been an avid gamer for about 13 years - I was basically raised on video games and books. I spent my earlier years enjoying games like Star Control 2 and Civilization, and screwing around with programming in QBASIC and Visual Basic.
