Shamus Young

"Yes. I have an editor now. Yes, the people at The Escapist are nice and we get on just fine. No I can’t get you Yahtzee’s autograph. Shut up."

- Shamus Young

Novelist, humorist, software engineer and general Jack of All Trades (at least all the nerdy ones). Writer of the webcomics DM of the Rings, Chainmail Bikini and Stolen Pixels and the game opinion column Experienced Points. Member of the Let's Play group Spoiler Warning. Has a regularly updated blog and a YouTube channel. Outside of his Speculative Fiction writings (e.g. The Witch Watch and Free Radical) his works usually vary between edutainment, reviews, insightful analysis of video games (and several other media) and the demonstrations of his own adventures in graphics programming and game design.

Known for having radical political opinions and strong religious beliefs, but not blogging about them ever. Also known for detesting DRM and Digital Piracy in equal amounts and frequently writing about both topics and the interconnections between them.
