I'm 20 years of age and have been gaming since I received a Sega Genesis with Sonic 2 beautifully bundled with it. I played a hodgepodge of genres with kid-friendly characters until I purchased Final Fantasy VII for my 10th birthday after playing a demo of it, effectively changing my life and the way I game forever. I am now a self-proclaimed JRPG connoisseur with around 100 different titles completed under my belt (not counting replays, naturally.) I am currently a full-time employee in the videogame section of my local Best Buy.
Videogames are a huge influence in my life as I am in the game making process myself, and they are a huge inspiration for the music I create both for the game and for my band. You can check out my band right here:
Videogame inspired Post-Hardcore
As of now I am playing through Lost Odyssey for Xbox360 (which I am not really digging too much. Kind of having to force myself to complete it) and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for the PSP (which I am finding refreshingly awesome)
