I have introduced myself on the forums. So I thought since the forums are down, I would introduce myself on the C-Blogs. My name is James. I am 26 years old. I have been playing games since I was about 5 years old. My first memory of gaming was when I was really little. My father had to take on odd jobs because we were really poor. He was working at a church as a janitor. They had an Atari 2600 in the youth room. He would have never brought me normally but there was no other that day. I had nothing to do until I found that 2600. I remember playing Pitfall and dying a lot but I loved it. What hooked me as a gamer though was the NES. I got the NES with the pack in Track and Field. I have never looked back since then.

I own almost every major game system. I don't have a Neo Geo (sad face), Sega CD, and anything before the 2600. I have multiples of the same console. I think that pegs me as a nerd. I mostly play my 360 right now. I have been putting a lot of time into Far Cry 2. I really like that game. It has it's flaws but something keeps drawing me back to it even after I lost my 95% of the way through the game save. My favorite console of all time is the Dreamcast. I still have it hooked up to my TV when my friends come over for some fighting action. They always beat me. I slap the controller and hope that something happens.

My favorite games are the Metal Gear series, Resident Evil, Contra and any of the Scumm games. There are many other games but these are games that I can go back to anytime to play and still have a great time with them. I have been an adventure game fan since I was little. I grew up on those Scumm games. My uncle had a collection of them, me and him spent hours in Sam and Max. Those games introduced me to the idea that games could have good stories and from those games I went to more adult games, like Gabriel Knight and Laura Bow. I which that I had a good PC to play some newer games but I am happy going back to those games. They hold up better than any other genre of game.

What I do outside of gaming? Well I like to read and watch TV. I have not been reading as much lately. I have been playing Phoenix Wright before I go to bed, so the books have been on the backburner. I don't watch TV as much as I used to. I have been trying to limit myself. My favorite shows are Lost, Futurama, and (ugh) Simpsons ( I know that it is not good anymore but I feel some connection to the show for some reason still). I watch mainly older movies. Hollywood has not had a good idea in so long. My favorite movies are Robocop and Die Hard. I am an action movie junkie. Here is a picture of Robocop on an unicorn to break up this wall of text.



Right now I work part time for a national radio show. It is not as fun as it sounds. I screen calls there and call people back. I am looking for a full time job but no one is hiring around here just like everywhere else in America.

I found Dtoid through the podcasts. I started listening to Retroforce Go and It felt like I was listen to friends talk about video games. I started visiting the site and subscribed to the other podcasts. After listening to a couple, I knew that I wanted to be part of this community. I joined the forums and lurked for some time but after while I decided to make an intro post and failed. I fixed it and then everyone was cool. I learned a lesson that day. DON"T SUCK. So I hope that I have been not sucking since then. Well to end my intro blog, here is a picture of me and Jessica Rabbit. Why Not? Cartoon Boobs are boobs all the same.



My gamertag is AgentBBJ and my Playstation Network ID is Agent_BBJ. If anyone wants to add me.

Alright, be honest. Did this blog suck? or not? You tell me.
