BIO My name is Nathaniel Pope, the soul peon behind ludogrind. Born in San Diego, California, I graduated from La Costa Canyon High School in 2003 and am currenly completing a bachelors degree at the University of California, Irvine, double majoring in economics and film and media studies. Somewhere along the way, I picked up a French minor. C'était un invitation au voyage: in 2006, I studied the French film industry in Bordeaux and Paris and ever since returning I have been tumbling down the synthetic rabbit hole, only to hit the desert of the real time and time again. This past summer, I was a SURF-IT fellow at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and continue to research the economics and culture of online games and their impact on society under the tutelage of Professor Peter Krapp. Yet all ludogrind and no work leads to quite empty pockets. So I have worked my passion at the Teaching Learning and Technology Center and increased some Pizza Nova rep, completing delivery quests more fun than any turtle escort in Azeroth. As an athlete, I play for the ACHA and PCHA sanctioned UCI Ice Hockey team.  |
