About Me

Hey there, my name is Joey Crundwell and this is my website. I set this up as a place to leisurely write about video games. I studied video games at Northern Illinois University and currently work as a copywriter in the video game industry, but I wanted a venue to write more freely about various thoughts and personal experiences with games.

​Of which I have many, seeing as how some of my earliest memories in life are of playing my family’s ColecoVision and Bally Astrocade. Video games have been such an important part of my history and the fabric of who I am, and I love writing about them. Much of what I post will likely be less than cogent, bordering on rambling, but I don’t have any specific audience in mind for this site. I’m not looking to teach anyone anything or make any grand observations. I’ll just be writing what I feel like writing.

​I’ve fallen behind a bit on posting here due to… well, just life. Work, walking my cat, playing as many video games as I can, hanging out with friends. But I’m tryin’. I’ve also recently seriously ramped up my retro game collecting, so I hope to chronicle some of my adventures with that. At some point. Maybe. Stop pressuring me.
