Well, been hanging around Dtoid for ages (like six months or more) and finally got my lazy
ass signed up.
This blog thing is pretty cool - something I'd only been peripherally aware of before.
So, a bit about me then....

I'm Rob, early-thirties longtime gamer from sunny Jersey. I'll play just about anything if it's
any good, and my games-collection will bear that out. Right now I'm playing through NFS:
Pro-Street (decent enough, looks pretty and handles well), Kane & Lynch (not as bad as
people make out, shocking controls and camera), Braid (what's all the fuss about, eh?) and
Geometry Wars Evolved 2 (pure awesomeness in every way). These are all on 360 BTW - my
PS3 makes a great BluRay player but not much else, sadly. Looking forward to Wipeout next
week though, and Super Stardust HD keeps my DualShock3 busy!
I've owned or own just about every system as far back as the C64 (represent!), and have
played pretty much everything of worth on all of them. To my likely discredit though, I just
don't get Nintendo. Never have and probably never will (I have a Wii which gathers dust and a
DS Lite which my missus has stolen). I was a Sega fanboy back in the day, to the point where
I sold my beloved Amiga 500+ to import a Megadrive from Japan. Spendy but worth it - I
have three of the bloody things now (one boxed as new, one on display and one which gets
played every so often) and still look back on those days as the best time of my gaming life.
All-nighters on SFII, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Earthworm Jim and
Gauntlet.....*sigh*

I was drawn to Dtoid by the rantings of Sir Jim of Sterling - Metacritic pointed to a few of his
reviews as outliers in the scale of things, and the RE5 "controversy" brought me to the site.
Since then I've checked-in every day for my gaming news and thought it was time to become
a member of the community. Cheers to you all!
