Michael is a strategy game fanatic and collector who spends most of his limited free time playing Magic The Gathering and listening to records of the afro-loner-psyche variety. He is a world traveler and unrequited scholar whose passion for gaming permeates all aspects of his life. Naturally introspective, he is drawn to analytical games that reward creative thinking, resource management, and foresight. When he knows there is little chance to win a war, Michael will intentionally shift gears for the sole purpose of producing as much chaos as is humanly possible.
