Duties at MassivelyJef currently pulls double duty as both a news blogger and game columnist. In addition to scouring the nerdosphere for the latest dirt on MMORPGs both large and small, he pens a weekly feature focused on Funcom's Age of Conan as well as Community Detective, a bi-weekly look at industry customer service and community issues.
Offline time
Jef stays pretty busy offline, flying airplanes for both work and play, and is also currently slaving away on a 1946 Aeronca Champ restoration (that's a plane, for you aviation newbs). He also dabbles in carpentry, listens to Rush (the band, not the radio host), and occasionally has delusions of grandeur regarding the great American novel.

Gaming History
If it's come out for the PC or an American console since 1984, Jef's probably played it. Lasting impressions were left by Sundog: Frozen Legacy, Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Morrowind, Ico, Shenmue, and more recently, Red Dead Redemption.
Fun Facts about Jef:
* Jef studied architectural design at Georgia Tech before realizing he sucked at it and finishing up his undergrad degree in film and journalism.
* He has a large comic book and sci-fi memorabilia collection (as well as a girlfriend, who'd have thunk it).
* He finds stormtrooper armor to be uncomfortably tight about the buttocks.
