Shout Out to My Fellow Panelists
Just wanted to send a shout-out to my fellow panelists at I-CON. It was a really educational (and humbling) experience. Thanks for letting me blather on!
Scott Price
Scott has spent his professional life trying to make computers work for people by helping people play with computers. He helped the Math Forum create digital manipulatives for math students, built an IT Department during 6 years as teacher, dean, and IT Coordinator at Exploration Summer Programs, developed databases for non-profits, and performed quality assurance testing with Scholastic, Inc. Outside of 'work' he is writing a RPG setting based on an animated television series, plays in and runs AD&D groups, writes about hypertext on Textuality.org, and rarely passes up anything that can be called playtesting. He is thrilled to be able to admit all that in a biography. [MORE]
Dave "Fargo" Kosak
Fargo is one of the founding fathers of GameSpy, starting in 1996 when he helped company founder Mark "The Freshmaker" Surfas launch PlanetQuake. He left a job in the advertising industry because he couldn't stand saying good things about games he didn't like, and he's been a full-time writer and creative lead in the gaming industry ever since. Fueling the big move was a passion for online gaming and everything that the Internet brings to games: player interaction, multiplayer gaming, game modifications, tournaments, downloads... he gets all breathy whenever he talks about it, which, frankly, is disturbing. Fargo writes the longest-running column on GameSpy, a weekly humor column called PlanetFargo. He also publishes a daily World of Warcraft comic: Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth. [MORE]
