About Me

My real name is Mark. But my name is also Mooks. It's short for Mookie. I want to be a writer, a director, a musician, a game designer, an actor, and a constantly awesome person. Most days I forget I'm a senior in college.

I have been gaming since I was a newborn, when my uncle put an unplugged NES controller in my hands. In some ways, I've never let go. From there I took the Nintendo/PC path down gaming lane. I had a Genesis, but the only games I had were Sonic games. My favorite game growing up was Earthbound.

I am obsessed with story in video games and am always looking for the next game that makes me laugh, cry, or think. Although I also love a good mindless shooter or puzzle game here and there.
On the topic of best stories in games, I believe these titles, in no particular order, showcase what I believe to be indicative of our medium moving forward as respectable artworks.

Mother (1 2 and 3)
Metal Gear Solid (particularly 2 and 3)
Anything touched by Tim Schafer
Killer7
Ico
Shadow of the Colossus
Silent Hill
Eternal Darkness
Half-Life series

More to come as I think of them.

But yeah, that's it for now. See ya around D-Toid.

Eddie Riggs Joins Psychonauts' Raz for a Ten Year Double Fine Celebration! Mooks | 10:00 PM on 07.28.2010 5 comments

So, I really like Double Fine. They are among my favorite developers out there, despite only having made two games, one an industry darling, and one a divisive love note. They are, however, headed by Tim Schafer, who just celebrated twenty years in the industry, and that put them several hundred points ahead anyway. At anyrate, Double Fine just celebrated it's tenth anniversary, which is quite the accomplishment for a small independent group. And to celebrate, resident Art Director and overall awesome guy Scott C. drew up an amazing comic in celebration, bring together the three mascots of the developer. Long live, Double Fine, may you keep bring completely awesome and original ideas to the industry. Time for some Psychonauts for me! The comic can be found here. Attached photos:
