My name is Dale, and I've been a freelance writer and video games journalist for about 10 years. I got my start blogging on a personal site and slowly progressed until I was getting paid to write reviews and guest blog posts.

Eventually, I pitched a column to a local paper called The Weekender - theweekender.com/games - and it was accepted. My biweekly column has appeared in print and online since 2008 and is distributed throughout North-East Pennsylvania.

From there, I continued my own blog while contributing to various sites on the Internet, including EscapistMagazine.com
I'm a staff writer on the US Team covering video games at BrutalGamer.com
I'm also a staff writer at AndroidRundown.com where I cover the mobile gaming industry on Android-powered devices.

I generally like to write human interest pieces, including interviews with other gamers and developers doing something interesting in the industry. However, I do my fair share of hard news when I find a good scoop.
