Biography
Noah is a PhD student in the Critical Game Design program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Currently, he is researching play, performance, and the archive. Through his work, Noah seeks to position let's play content as critical objects to be preserved in videogame archives, particularly for the ways they document alternative play and performance. Outside of studying and research, Noah also writes reviews and features for RPGFan.com, and when he's not doing that he likes taking care of his house plants and playing SEGA Saturn games.
