I spent my formative years in the idyllic Welsh countryside, but now have left home to discover the wider world (England!) and study for a degree in English Literature. I live with my two flatmates, and, unfortunately, share a first name with both of them. While no doubt a dream situation in lame sitcoms, in reality having three Claires in one household is perilous - food labelling is a constant hazard and cases of mistaken identity frequent.

My love affair with adventure gaming began with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - a welcome relief to nerves shattered by numerous action games. Today my favourite adventures include Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, Grim Fandango and Beneath a Steel Sky.

I adore Jane Austen novels, coffee, and films starring Johnny Depp.
