I’m Duncan, and what’s there to say about me? I typically write stories about nerdy topics like video games and movies, but I can get a bit out-there sometimes. I’ve even done a water review. The results? Sparkling water sucks. Anyways! In case you’re curious what games I’m into as of writing this, we’ve got Lethal Company, the Fallout series, New Super Mario Bros. DS, and various Pokemon games. Speaking of Pokemon, I’m a spriter for Pokemon Infinite Fusion, Pokemon Amalgam, and Pokemon Sweet: Rebaked. I happen to be leading the dev team of Rebaked, a reimagining of the original Pokemon Sweet rom hack. That’s all, flashbang! And I’m g o n e!
