Jamie Olson is an author and gamer in equal parts. And equally obsessive about it.
As an author, he has, as of this time, written and published the 600-page sci-fi epic "Humanity's Stars: Angels and Demons of the Past" with more to come in the not-so-distant future.
The choice of sci-fi as the setting wasn't random. It, along with his decision to study physics in university, was a spark lit by a selection of masterpiece games that share a similar setting, such as Stellaris, Starcraft II, Space Engineers, Apex Legends, and more. In several of these games, with the addition of others such as League of Legends and Total War: Warhammer II, he has sunk hundreds or even thousands of hours, including the creation of mod collections and research.
While video games are built to provide endless hours of fun to the player, Jamie Olson believes that to experience the truly unforgettable moments gaming has to offer, you have to dig deep. To discover that surprisingly fun build in League of Legends. To come up with cheesy strategies in RTS campaigns. To break the AI into submission. And when he tells you how to beat that end-game crisis in Stellaris, you better take notes.
