About

This site's content is a reflection of my own thoughts and is unrelated to my employers or affiliates. 

Hi there. My name is Nick and this is my blog. It's primarily meant to be a place for me to practice my writing skills, and to cover a range of topics that I normally wouldn't be able to cover for my day job (video game reviews and commentary for the most part). In terms of who I am, well, feel free to check out my Twitter linked below. But in short, I'm somebody with a History PhD who likes to write about stuff. Hopefully you find what I have to say to be interesting! 

Disclaimer: What is written here is not to be understood as a replacement for scholarly research, nor does it serve as a substitute for traditional education. I created Profnickgarcia.com (formerly Gainsense.com) in 2012 as a space to polish my writing skills and explore topics of interest.
