#PortfolioDay I'm Dustin, a game writer, narrative designer, & VO producer. I have a background in game journalism but would much rather make something than tear it apart. I'm a member of #IGDA, #ISA, and a #TND alumni. I'll be attending my first #GDC this year! - oh, & I write award-winning poetry.

I’m geeked up on that pure Na’vi yayo while an eight foot tall goth cat gf cuts me. I’m high off that Pandora Payakan talking directly to the ancestors. We sipping pure Tulkun brain goo. That Mangkwan coochie got me waging war on Eywa. I’ve died. I will die again. This shit ain’t nothing to me man.
