About - Hailey Griffin: How did I become said quirky weirdo (see Auther Description)? Ask my Mother. She started it! Seeing as she's not here right now, I will imagine for you what she might say were you to ask her: "Oh, honey, you're not a weirdo. Quirky, maybe, but not a weirdo. Hmm, I believe it all started when I would play The Longest Journey game on PC. You would scoot right up next to me and stare avidly at the screen. I don't know why I let you watch that, now that I think of it. It's definitely not appropriate for a young audience. I would also let you watch me play Myst and Riven. I hoped that you would peek over my shoulder and begin to develop a sort of mind that is good with puzzles. Hell, I could hardly make it through those games without looking at a walkthrough. From there, you were off and running. We bought you your first PlayStation (2) for Christmas one year. I remember you playing games like SSX, Rocket Power, Pink Panther, Halo, Harry Potter, oh man, the games were endless. Um, from there you became obsessed with movies. You bought a new one every chance that you could get. I took you out of school that one year, remember, to watch the Two Towers in theaters with me. Now, you seem to have gravitated towards Game-Based Learning. Graduate school had a lot to do with that. With a Masters in Adult Education, you concentrated your efforts on making educational video games for the upper-level students work. I just like Sci-Fi adventures, you're a geek."
