Rae Swain-Blogger

Hey guys! My name is Rae Swain and I'm one of the bloggers for Undiscovered Gaming! My love for video games began many years ago, when my parents let me play Super Mario on their Nintendo. Soon afterwards, they gave me a Playstation for Christmas, where I played Crash Bandicoot and Spyro for many hours on end. Since then, I've played on pretty much every system, my favorites being the Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, and PC. My overall favorite games tend to be the action and RPG genres,  including the Mass Effect Series, Dragon Age Series (I'm a bit of a Bioware junkie) the Witcher Series, and The Last of Us. I'm also fond of puzzle games like Portal and story-telling games, like The Walking Dead. I love anything where I can be immersed in the world and the story; it inspires both my fiction and non-fiction writing, and I love finding topics among those games to discuss and share with my fellow gamers. 

Other than video games, I've been an avid reader and writer for as long as I can remember. I'm always inspired by the things I see and hear. I'm also really into television and movies, so much so that I got a degree in film and creative writing, so I could learn more about the story-telling process and how to portray it on screen and on paper.  It is my dream to be a writer and author, and my purpose for writing has always been to entertain others and give them something to enjoy. Even if it's just for a few seconds, if someone takes the time to read and take some delight my writing then I've done my job! I'm really appreciative and excited for the opportunity to write for Undiscovered Gaming! :)
