Tom Parsons

QA TESTER

 

LINKEDIN

Meet TJ, our meticulous QA Tester at Koffeecup! He tests our games, reports any issues, verifies, and prays to the bug queen, they're fixed in the next build. Tom brings a keen eye for detail and a passion for gaming to the table.

An afternoon enthusiast, Tom enjoys munching on corn nuts and sipping on Mai-Tais, preferably on a sunny beach. 

He always wondered how it would be to talk to animals and bets they have a lot to say, from which we can learn from – but has a strong feeling that bugs are pure psychos.

At home, Tom's companion, who apparently shares a brain cell with rocks, is Bailey, his golden retriever. Bailey's fluffy charm makes him irresistible – even when he’s eating dirt, which is like… all the time.

An introvert by nature, Tom finds solace in the virtual worlds he explores, unravelling their mysteries one world at a time. Tom's love for mystery extends to his favourite book, movie, and TV show choices, which include Mulholland Drive, 12 Monkeys, Donnie Darko, and LOST. He's drawn to stories that twist, turn, and linger in the mind long after they're over.

As for games, Tom grew up playing Nintendo games (N64) and later on branched out to Xbox, PS and PC. His favourites include Rain World, Outer Wilds, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Tom mostly plays narrative heavy games as he loves gaming for the interactive, individual experience a game can provide that other media can't – especially exploring worlds and getting lost in their mysteries.

Don’t even dare to challenge Tom in his favourite party game as he’s the undisputed, the unbreakable, 10x couch champion of his inner circle, never-lost-a-single-match godlike player of SUPER MARIO PARTY… or do, at your own peril.

Koffee: Strong, Just a splash of milk, piping hot, hopefully in a cup.
