Some people know me as "PoshAlligator", others by my actual name, Oscar Taylor-Kent. I'm a fan of stylish action games and adventure games, think Devil May Cry or Ace Attorney, and I'm still awaiting the perfect combination of the two genres (it was not Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, unfortunately). Interested in anything that isn't boring. I also did most of the localisation for Gal*Gun: Double Peace, so take what I say about it with a grain of salt! Follow me @MrOscarTK on Twitter!
