Obsessive Shenmue Fan & Blogger

Stuart is also known as Miles Prower within the Shenmue Community, and also for his Shenmusings blog and Twitter account. He's a longtime Sega fan, in particular of the Sonic the Hedgehog and Shenmue series. The Shenmusings blog is where he writes deep dives into obscure knowledge about Shenmue, with a particular focus on Shenmue II and its many NPCs (as well as a sub-site focusing on analysis of the Game Jam beta of Shenmue II). He has also previously guested on the Shenmue Dojo podcast, and can regularly be found chatting in the Dojo's Discord server. Shenmue as a series is a masterpiece and one of his deepest passions, and he'll tirelessly be a part of the campaign for it to continue. #LetsGetShenmue4
