Rated NA 129

Scott

Hi, I’m one of the founders of Nerd Appropriate and the Rated NA podcast. I like good and bad sci-fi films/tv, synthesizers, and the retrofuture. I am primarily an Xbox gamer, but also do some PC and Switch gaming as well. By day, I am a research scientist, mostly in topics related to human-computer interaction and user experience. Before all of this, fellow NA co-founder Matt and I played music together in various bands. I also used to make "comedy" videos for my high school morning news program before there was a place to post them online. Favorite Star Wars character? Admiral Ackbar. Best Bond era? Timothy Dalton (Craig a close second). Top 3 games? Let's go with System Shock 2, A Link to the Past, and Super Castlevania IV. Thanks for being a part of this labor of nerdy love with us.

We all want to call you Dr. Scott now.

Thank you so much, Sean, for being so open and honest in sharing your struggle and story, wow! It’s inspiring hearing about using humour with illness, and most of all, going after what you want through difficulty. What a great interview, and dialogue! I completely agree that people would be surprised at what anyone can survive through, and still be successful (and happy?).

Thanks for the recommendations of indie games 🙂 always looking for more! Ahhh I never seem to be able to write down all the game names you guys list.
