I did a 30 minute interview with CBS which is coming out tomorrow. If you're looking to understand #gamergate beyond a soundbite, it's great

What if we said "the dollar is expensive" instead of "the dollar is strong"? Would it change that whole discussion?

@HennsEggs Five brothers. We all got equal time on the computer and my dad made sure there was a how to use BASIC manual in the house.

@HennsEggs My father didn't teach me directly, but he let me write games using his computer, and provided me with blank floppies.

@HennsEggs As it is, I still attend IT conferences (like GDC Next) because IT and entertainment are intertwining in interesting ways. :-)

@HennsEggs If I were in college now, I think I'd be more interested, because there are so many different things that require programming.

@HennsEggs ...I decided the only thing worth sacrificing my schedule and much of my life for was writing, not coding. It wasn't worth it.

@HennsEggs ...solving problems in code can be unpredictable, and the gaming industry expects you to live your whole life at work...

@HennsEggs ...the games they were putting out. I applied for Her Interactive, but they were small then and not hiring. The hours you work...

@HennsEggs ItI took CS courses in HS and college, then applied to work at Electronic Arts in QA. It was fun, but I had zero interest in...

8chan/#gamergate just doxxed me, posting all kinds of personal information about me. Guys, THIS is the war on industry women. Wake up.
