Ashley has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pencil, and playing games since she was old enough to hold a Playstation controller or a Gameboy Color. Growing up she voraciously consumed anything she could get her hands on - fantasy, action, horror, RPGs, racing, puzzles; nothing was off limits. Her current favorites include the action-adventure Okami, the indie darling Undertale, the emotional The Last of Us, the strategic XCOM 2, the hauntingly beautiful Shadow of the Colossus, and the challenging Bloodborne. To Ashley, writing about gaming and other nerd culture comes as a natural extension of who she already is.
