Growing up between grey concrete buildings, Michael found that the courage to start something new is what he likes in games. Crazy ideas, melancholic dreams, kafkaesque nightmares or musicals with singing cats shooting lasers to save the world?! Much to his friend Manu Fritsch’s dislike, Michael questions them later. Together, they host the daily podcast Insert Moin.

For Michael, video games are an art form, inviting people to freak out. Accordingly, his articles for Gamestar, International Games Magazine and other websites are rather unconventional, like his entire career. He is curator and artist, worked on indie games such as Rainbow Skies or Villagers, and works as a lecturer at the Akademie Deutsche Pop.
