Welcome to Playing the Game of Life

Hi friends. Welcome to my new blog. It’s been a long while. Almost 4 years to be exact. 

For those who’ve followed me over from my old domain, I am astounded and flattered at your interest over the years, despite my rambling and long absences; for all of you fresh faces, welcome to Playing the Game of Life, now in a better location.

For those who don’t know, my name is Austin Ryan Snider — or as I have recently taken as a pen-name — A.R. Snider. Others may know me by the long term gaming alias DesertEagle PWN — a name I created in Halo 2 on Xbox when I was 11 years old and hadn’t even the slightest clue what a Desert Eagle was. I still seem to somehow stubbornly refuse to relinquish the name, despite the fact that I may have done or said a few embarrassing things that kids do online over the years under that name…

but people grow. They change and learn… well, at least they change; hopefully they learn as well, but maybe that’s too much to ask. But that is what this blog is about. Changes, Learning, Life, and of course Games and other assorted Geekery.

This is a blog of my journeys through Life as a lifelong game enthusiast and student of play, and — now that I’m a proper adult — a video game and XR technology developer and entrepreneur.

So welcome to Playing the Game of Life. I hope you’ll find my notes and stories at least half as interesting as I find living it.

Regards,

A.R. Snider
