I've been intrigued by politics my whole life. And, yes, I am very close to the Clintons. I was a Hillary person until I was an Obama person. And she was a Hillary person, too, until she was an Obama one, evidently.

Exposure to the arts and culture is enormously valuable.
For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.
Games are advancing in terms of storytelling and trying to create a character, and its a brand new audience for me.
