Describe your ideal weekend. Curling up on the couch with my hubby and two pups and bingeing a really good show.
What famous person or historical figure would you most like to meet and why? Â Â Roberta Williams. One of the earliest games that I can remember getting really invested in was Kings Quest V, and Sierra On-Line games left a huge impact on my early gaming experience during the late 80s and early 90s. I adored point & click adventure games, and being able to speak with her about her experiences in the industry and her process of game design would be amazing.
What do you like to do for fun? Taking the dogs out for a jaunt on a beautiful day, getting lost in a good video game, and socializing with friends for some tabletop gaming (Magic the Gathering, Pathfinder, or other assorted board games).
