On his fifth birthday, Tyler received a Nintendo 64 and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, and his life since then has been a continuous gaming binge. He would later cut his teeth on early MMORPGs like Asheron’s Call and Everquest, often playing into the early morning with his friends from school. With the release of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty he became a full-fledged PVP addict, climbing to Diamond in League of Legends and Grandmaster in Battlerite. When he’s not pounding coffee and smashing his keyboard, he likes to hit the gym or bang on his drum set (much to his neighbor’s chagrin). A reader and writer by trade, he holds a B.A. in philosophy and a Graduate Publishing Certificate.
