Trivia
- Since the universe of Star Citizen took elements from Ancient Rome, he reread old textbooks about that period as well as talks about the Sci-Fi classics (Template:WP, Template:WP, Template:WP, Template:WP, etc.) He has always been a fan of Template:WP so he re-watched Template:WP which hardly counts as 'work'.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
- With [[StarCitizen::Category:Cassandra's Tears|Cassandra's Tears]], he went to the Mystery and Imagination Bookshop in Glendale and picked up old copies of the Sci-Fi/Fantasy anthology magazines to try and capture that style used in the 1950's Template:WP type of story. While StarCitizen:Kid Crimson was naturally more of a Template:WP flavor.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
- He drew the most inspiration from music. When he started writing something, he'll try to collate any songs that put his head in that world or capture a scene or emotion/mood. Therefore, his Star Citizen playlist is a variety of songs from all sorts of genres, from Template:WP score for Template:WP to Template:WP and Template:WP Template:WP score to Template:WP to a Template:WP. Anything that sparks the brain to the material.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
- He grew up as a gamer but his family always seemed to have the 'other gaming platforms'. They didn't have Template:WP but the Template:WP. They didn't have a Template:WP 64 but Template:WP II PC. So until PC really caught on, they never really had the popular games in the house. He kept playing games through high school but fell off a bit after college as he was broke and couldn't afford the systems.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
- Around 2010, he started playing games again but had slowed down. Recently, He has been watching his roommate work his way through the Template:WP game which has been fun. He played through Template:WP 2 in 2012, so he jumped on that bandwagon relatively late.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
- He played Wing Commander while growing up, and sold StarCitizen:Wing Commander II and StarCitizen:Wing Commander III while he worked at Babbage's (pre GameStop) in high school.<ref name=":2" />
