About


Name: Peter
Home State: New York
Currently Residing In: Utah
Birthday: October 13th, 1985 (I'll always secretly consider the NES to have been a week-late birthday present to me from Nintendo.)
Specialty: Writing

I'm a Mass Communication/Journalism graduate from the University of Utah, which I'm starting to question, since it was a tough field to get into even before the economy went down the toilet. I love writing; Not only do I consider it my passion, but I also believe it's an invaluable skill for this socially-connected age in which we live. Writing about video games brings me more joy than I can even describe in words, which is saying a lot, considering.

As far as video games go, I've been a gamer since I was two-and-a-half. I try to play whatever interests me, despite what other people think of those games. I suppose I consider myself to be "obsessed" with gaming, but not in the sense that all I want to do is beat games. I'm fascinated with the industry as a whole, and in some way, shape or form, I'd love to be a part of it professionally someday.

Metal Gear Solid Series (PS1, PS2, & PS3)

And away we go!

I hadn't seen this on Destructoid at all yet, so I thought I'd throw it here. I'm crazy excited about this now -- Anthony was one of my favorite writers for this site, so to see him being given one of my most anticipated games of next year is a thrill for me. I've followed his stuff since he worked here, loved every HAWP that was released, and occasionally just wonder what he's up to. This has been the most pleasant surprise of my night.

Good luck, dude -- I'll be cheering for you from here.

Yeah same here! We should start a Anthony fanclub! You should listen to the hawpcast (their podcast) it's pretty great! Though he said that he won't answer any question about the Borderlands 2 story I still think I will pester him about it xD And yeah , I think Hey Ash is freaking brilliant, it's exactly my type of humor most of the time, and I can kind of relate to their extreme relationship thanks to my sibling :)
I'm anxious to see what a Burch story in a game would be. After Runner, I don't know what to expect.
I'm pretty excited about this too.

Judging by the stuff he digs (Dr. Who, Firefly, Avatar, other serial action dramas), and the web content (HAWP and Anthony Saves), I think smart, sharp dialouge will be on the menu.
Ugh, I really don't like the man. Actually, he was the reason I stopped visiting Dtoid for many months. I know he has his fans, but I dont think this is a good thing. Oh well.
For as much (really good) criticism he lobs at games, I really want him to put his money where his mouth is and blow us away with this. I have probably unreasonably high expectations.
I like Anthony, but I have a concern that he'll be TOO smart for this project. I hope he is able to write humour that can appeal to a broad class of people and that he doesn't go too much towards the more intellectual humour that he seems better known for.
The script is probably the least of my concerns for Borderlands 2 but I'm excited to see someone from the site rise to such great heights! Don't fuck it up, Anthony!
I arrived here shortly after Anthony left so I can only go by what I hear about him. I have seen the Hey Ash episodes and liked them. I wish him good luck, and we're all waiting and watching!
