My name is Ryan Scott. I’m the guy behind the keyboard around these parts, and I’m not too different from most of the other opinionated and socially retarded nerds who clog the internet. My hobbies and interests read like a definitive How To Ensure No Woman Will Ever Have Sex With You checklist: videogames; comic books; tabletop RPGs; PC-building; and uber-geek TV shows/movies such as Buffy, Angel, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. Somehow, against all odds, I’ve managed to make the best of my irresponsible lifestyle: I kicked off a successful career at Games for Windows: The Official Magazine (formerly Computer Gaming World) in 2003, where I currently serve as reviews editor; and I live with my wonderful (and equally nerdy) girlfriend April in the very boring city of Sunnyvale, California.

The Geekbox (the word “geekbox” is Ebonics for “computer”) began as the title of a short-lived high school newspaper column of mine around 1996 or so. Geekbox.net, which I wound up registering in 1998, has at various times acted as a Linux resource repository, shameless self-promoting videogame review/preview showcase, and boring personal homepage. Now, I use it to inflict scattered, facetious, and occasionally nonsensical musings upon an unsuspecting interweb. Besides, blogging is totally, like, the cool thing to do these days.

If you’re trying to get in touch with me, it’s probably easiest to just leave a comment in one of my blog entries. Or if you prefer, I can be reached via e-mail at geekbox-mail AT this-domain’s-name.
