{{Master Editor}}
I'm a [[software engineer]] by trade, and a dad by leisure. I spent about ten years of my professional career in the [[video game industry|game industry]]. In fact, I was the [[lead programmer]] on two of the games I worked on: ''[[Clue (1998 video game)|Clue]]'' and ''[[Scooby Doo: Mystery of the Fun Park Phantom]]''. Being a [[video game developer]], I got an entry on [[MobyGames]]: [https://www.mobygames.com/person/41629/chris-nash/ my Rap Sheet].

==Wiki History==
I've started scores of articles, but the ones I'm most proud of deal with the [[video game industry]], which I used to be a proud part of. With a few exceptions, I either completely authored or totally overhauled all the articles below. Of course I can't take credit (or blame) for the current state of any of the articles (Wikipedia ''is'' a community effort), but I'm proud that I was able to give birth to such important and interesting articles:

* [[Video game developer]]
* [[Video game publisher]]
* [[Video game industry]]
* [[Video game producer]]
* [[Game programmer]]
* [[Game programming]]
* [[Game tester]]
* [[Game testing]]
* [[Game designer]]
* [[Game design]]
* [[Level designer]]
* [[Level design]]
* [[Level editor]]
* [[Game development tool]]

I often edit articles about subjects I have no particular interest in, usually with just small changes to grammar and formatting (in this sense, I'm often a [[Wikipedia:WikiGnome|WikiGnome]]). But here's a list (in chronological order, more or less) of articles with which I've had a great deal to do with. Some articles I've created, others I've just greatly expanded. I haven't included stubs that I've created (they don't count!) unless I later expanded it into a significant article. Newest work appears at the bottom.

I've also created numerous categories.  But since the 'pedia has about 16,000,000,000 categories right now, I'm not sure that's something to be proud of...

{{icon|FA}} Indicates entry was a '''[[WP:FAC|featured article]]'''<br>
<sup>†</sup> Indicates the article was featured in the [[Template_talk:Did_you_know|"Did you know..." section]] of the [[Main page]] when the article was new.
<!--
==Bragging Dept.==

I'm proud of all my contributions to the 'pedia, but my article the [[Golden Age of Arcade Games]] was edited mercilessly within the first few hours of posting.  It was then featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know..." section!  The edits made it a much better article, but most of my original content is still there.  Check it out if you get a chance... :-)

<font color="blue">'''Update:'''</font> '''WOO-HOO!''' This article became a '''[[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]]''' on [[September 2]] [[2004]].  My first '''featured article''' ever!  Though I didn't write the current revision all myself, I started it ''baby!'' :-D

<font color="blue">'''Update:'''</font> '''WOO-HOO!''' The article was featured on [[October 6]] [[2004]].  Do I '''rock''' or what?!

[[April 17]] [[2005]]: My article on [[Will Harvey]] was featured in the "Did you know..." section of the [[Main page]]!

==Projects==
Projects I'm officially interested in, but not necessarily an official member of.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Arcade games]] (started by me, turned into [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Arcade|the arcade game task force]])
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games]] ('''member''')

==Genuinely interesting==

Though I didn't contribute a whole lot to these articles, they are interesting nonetheless:
* [[Steve Wozniak]]: A true hero to every nerd
* [[Voynich Manuscript]]: Truly weird; a hoax or genuine?
* [[Alexander "Sawney" Bean]]: "Father" of a cannibalistic, legendary bandit family.  Did they really even exist?
* [[Spring Heeled Jack]]: Probably just a time-traveler using futuristic technology to scare English residents (my theory)
* [[Sieve of Eratosthenes]]: A cool, ancient way to find prime numbers!
* [[List of French words and phrases used by English speakers]]: sprinkle these phrases throughout your daily dialogue in order to sound intelligent
