Shallow Depths

I go by the name Cha, and I'm a Research Assistant from Melbourne, Australia, who also happens to be passionate about computer games.

I enjoy writing about gaming. In the past I have submitted occasional articles to The Age "Screen Play" blog, most notably my article on gaming online with social anxiety, which won their Your Turn contest for January 2009. My other contributions have been a review of Baroque (Wii), and my thoughts on walkthrough writing.

I would like to write more about gaming. What I am most interested in is the place gaming has in my own life, and the personal stories I have to share. Since I doubt Fairfax wants to be swamped with a lot of personal stories about my life, I created this blog instead.

The first few posts will be edited versions of things I wrote elsewhere over the last couple of years, so if they seem a little out-of-date, that's why. That said, I'm not always interested in keeping up with the latest things -- there are some classics I still intend to experience, and if I end up having thoughts to share about them I won't let their age stop me.
