Hey there, I’m Dan. I’m the Managing Director and Editor in Chief of Parable. I adore gaming and have a big background in console eSports, which is probably why a lot of my pieces put such an emphasis on it. Aside from that, any good RPG, FPS or Visual Novel can drag me away from the real world for double digit sessions. I also write for Decerto.net and Team eNigma, leading eSports brands.

    I refuse to accept that vsXIII is cancelled until it is confirmed then confirmed once again. It was announced to have entered full production 8 months ago and i hold on to hope that it still exists :(
