Anson is a Writer at TechRaptor and has been playing games for as long as he can remember. As far as he's concerned, games are one of the greatest forms of artistic expression to date. Outside of his normal day job, you can usually find him playing something on Xbox Game Pass to get some Achievements or occasionally reading a book. He might also be exploring the modding side of Bethesda games, mostly for educational purposes.
Although Anson will always be interested in games that push the boundaries of the medium, he firmly believes that the gaming industry should always prioritize the working conditions and rights of the workers.
Anson initially started writing for TechRaptor to pass the time while looking for a full-time job after college and has contributed to just about everything, though he mainly focuses on guides, reviews, and opinion articles. That being said, he first started writing about games in his school newspaper, so it's not unexplored territory for him.
To Anson, there is nothing more satisfying than dissecting a game in order to appreciate the labor that went into developing it. Guides, reviews, and opinions tend to require a deep understanding of a game anyways, so it seems appropriate that those are his favorite kinds of articles.

As the world's most popular game streaming platform, Twitch has certainly seen a lot of usage over the years. For many, it's the place to watch your favorite online personalities play games. On other occasions, Twitch has been used to broadcast some of the most notable moments of internet history, ranging from Bob Ross marathons to a fish playing Pokemon. There is almost no figurative limit to the things that you can watch on Twitch, though it seems doubtful that anyone could have predicted that the platform would also be used by active American politicians to play games with actual people.
