Andrew Vestal has been with the GIA since the beginning and will stick it out until the end. A graduate of Stanford University, he majored in procrastination yet received an M.A. in Creative Writing. Recently, most of his days are spent teaching English to adorable Japanese high school students. It's not a bad gig. Though he's been making websites since the pre-Netscape dark ages of the Internet, the GIA is by far his favorite. A graphics whore who still plays text adventures; a narrative fan repelled by Xenogears; an innovation freak who adores Skies of Arcadia; his mind is a mess of contradictions, or maybe just a mess. Even so, he knows that one day games will change the world - and that if you look carefully, that day is already here.
