-Twitter bio
Austin Walker is a grad student with a chip on his shoulder and a hole in his pocket. When he isn't spouting off about historical materialism and critical posthumanism in a paper, he's here on Stream Friends, spouting off about historical materialism and critical posthumanism. He streams a wide range of games, from indie life sims to triple-A first person shooters. Somehow, the latter turn out way weirder than the former.
