Eyz questions
Who are you exactly?
My name starts in E and ends up in Z but online and under my pen name, you can call me Eyz.

What do you do?
I try to be a cartoonist.
Like to be an artist.
'Seem to be a graphic designer.
And are a gamer most of my time.

How did you end up graphic designer?
I first got a diploma in Mathematics & Physics.
Then I went into art & graphics at IPAC Design in Switzerland. I learned about Communication, Medias and Visuals.
From 2008 to 2009 I've worked as a graphic designer at SL&C Supercomm Language Courses working on the new school books (the French, English and Chinese ones) and everything communication related.
Around 2010 I started working for PHYDRA a web design and communication agency in Geneva.

Blog questions
I found typos in your blog, what should I do?
Woaah! Don't hesitate to tell me if you find errors! I type as fast as I think..which doesn't allow sometimes to check stuff and correct letters here and there...
I try to pay attention to errors...but if you find some, just write it up to me in comments/send a mail!
- Thanks for the help ;)

Why did you create this blog?
To talk about stuff. Which incidentally only really happened a year after that post!
Also a place for you, the reader, to discuss about said stuff.

Are you a gamer?
I guess this qualifies me as a gamer. :P

How do your ratings work?? 
Ratings.

Send a mail or a comment below!

What's your favorite movies?
List.

What's your favorite TV shows?
Another list.

Explain me the Star Wars expanded universe easily!
A'right.

Do you actually play through the games you review?
As a matter of fact, I do!
It may take me some time, on some occasions. I don't play hours and hours of games straight from start to finish. I like to take some time, play an hour or two a day, maybe sometimes even less than 5 hours of said game a week! But I always finish the game 100% before reviewing it!
I won't ever review something I played for 3 minutes like some serious professional gaming websites did *cough*IGN*cough*.

What is your favorite gaming system?
I might go into more details in the future.
For now, let's agree I equally love the PC Engine, the Sega Saturn and the Dreamcast more than any other systems.

Are you a Sega Nerd?
Yes.

Which are your favorite game developers/publishers?
Sega, for one. And probably Ubi Soft, who did evolve quite nicely over the years and Capcom which are forever in my gaming heart! Long live those 3!

What's your view on multi-console gaming?
