Anastasia started playing adventure games when her parents brought home their first computer. Playing all these games gave her the very reasonable goal of growing up to be an adventurer. That lead to some wandering around and occasionally ending up in buddhist monastaries, but she still hadn't figured out where one applies for it as a paying gig. So she ended up being a strange jack of all trades surviving off academia. Naturally, she didn't want to study anything practical, so she designed her own major in undergrad that she called "Digital Narrative Studies"--basically, the study of art, design, literature, american studies, film, pop culture, and anything else connecting to computer games. Then she wrote her M.A. thesis a couple years ago on the King's Quest games specifically and the current dearth of storytelling in computer games. She now confines her adventurer lifestyle to ballroom dancing, doctoral studies, teaching cyberpunk, working on a children's literature MFA, and otherwise serving as a non-productive member of society.
