Bree is an unrepentant escapist with a predilection for MMOs. When not compulsively proofreading cereal boxes and newspapers, she can be found modding, PvPing on the auction hall, and touring the Next Big Thing with her guild on a quest for the elusive perfect game.

At Massively, Bree spends her hours slavishly copyediting features, dueling with PR, co-hosting the podcast, and tinkering in the darkest dungeons of the site code. Formerly responsible for One Shots and Betawatch, she currently pens the Week in Review and Ask Massively and contributes to The Daily Grind.
