I don't play Video Games

I have a confession to make. I don't play video games. Well that's not entirely true. I casually play 2-3 video games per year. I am always surprised to hear that people think you need to play games to be a game designer. This is not true. I believe playing games can limit my creativity. 

The most damaging phrase in the language is "It's always been done this way"  - Grace Hopper

I believe it is important to explore many new ideas and concepts.

As a game designer, I really appreciate the game of Golf. I am fascinated by the balance of strategy, skill and luck. The course design itself tells a story and increases in difficulty for the player. The challenging holes are followed by a simple hole, building off what the player has experienced.
