There isn't really a lot of in-depth analysis needed here. I know these kinds of people and what they like, because I'm one too. (Minus the point-and-click adventure games and old-granny music tastes.) This persona shouldn't be too difficult to create.

Tomorrow I'll interview the rest of my teachers so I can finally begin on the personas.
