About Mark Hospodar
Mark Hospodar has been an avid gamer ever since he fired up the original Medal of Honor on his PS1. A history teacher by training, Mark has branched out into the fields of fiction and non-fiction writing. He has co-authored several published works, including Future Imperfect and Tales from the Grimacing Goblin. However, his love of gaming has never dissipated over the years. A good, old-fashioned RTS title will always bring him back into the fold. His other interests include horror movies, toy soldier collecting, and anything Batman-related.
Favorite Games
Age of Empires 2, Crusader Kings 3, The Elder Scrolls series, BioShock, the Total War series, and Batman: Arkham Asylum
Favorite Console
The PS1 still brings back fond memories for me. Even now, I'll still periodically revisit games like WWF Warzone, Medal of Honor: Underground, and the Army Men series.
