Nathan Grayson
Nathan hails from the Dallas, Texas, mythical land of big guns, bigger hats, and crushing boredom. As a child, he naturally gravitated toward games like Fallout, because they presented worlds significantly more enjoyable and slightly less radioactive than his own. After a brief period of console gaming during his youth – which will henceforth be known as the Dark Time – he accepted PC as his one true gaming platform and never looked back.
He then spent most of high school with his face buried in either some sort of book or all sorts of games. And that’s when it hit him: “I could write about games, like, for money and stuff!” Then he went back to reading and gaming for the next four years. Come freshman year of college, though, he tried his hand at freelancing. Eventually he was published by fine, upstanding publications like Maximum PC, GamesRadar, Joystiq, GameSpy, and ultimately, gloriously, PC Gamer.
When he’s not replaying Deus Ex for the 27th time or shouting Zeno Clash’s praises to all who will listen, Nathan spends his time listening to vaguely folkish alterna-prog rock, coming up with ideas for stories that’ll never be published, beating Chris black-and-blue in kickboxing matches, and getting his arms horrifically maimed by Chris in Jiu-Jitsu matches. If you wish, you can follow his occasionally sane ramblings on Twitter @Vahn16.
