About AJ Hurst
AJ Hurst probably spent more time playing Team Fortress 2 and the Left 4 Dead games in college than any of that education or socializing nonsense, but the student newspaper did give him a platform to write game reviews. His love of fighting games and the Persona series also gave him no choice but to become a tournament-level Persona 4 Arena player, and even organize, promote and run tournaments for his local community in Kansas City. And he unironically loves ska music.
