Calum Fraser

Founder of Alpha Beta Gamer and all round video game enthusiast, especially quirky indies. Aware that we're now in the golden days of video gaming. Hairier than any human should be.

Got a soft spot for Braid and Limbo though because they were the first ones that really got me into indie gaming.
