About Dan Conlin

Former writer for Game Rant, Grown Gaming, and GameCola. Dan watches movies and TV shows sometimes, which tends to be helpful when writing about them. He's also an avid player of video games, but nobody's perfect. He spends his free time staring straight ahead in silence for several minutes before realizing he forgot to do something.

Favorite Games

Usually anything from BioWare or Bethesda. Though Boyfriend Dungeon, Baldur's Gate 3, and Tales From the Borderlands have also captured my heart.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Spending a solid hour defeating the Archdemon in Dragon Age: Origins using a ballista because my party and reinforcements had expired roughly half a second into the battle.

Favorite Console

Playstation 2. Great games and also looks kind of like it belongs in an office somewhere so I can pretend I'm doing business.
