I'm Jake, 22, from a tiny, religious, redneck town. I've been lurking around Dtoid for a while now but never took the time to join. I currently play drums in a punk band with my brahs. Right now we're pretty much starting over since we had to kick out our singer and guitarist. I also just dropped out of college, it was messin with work and the band. Aside from that I really like video games. When you're young and live miles away from anywhere you tend to get pretty bored, so I'm pretty sure that's how video games and I became lovers. I've been playing since the NES days, tried getting into stuff that came before that for nostalgic purposes, but no matter how much I try, I just can't get into it. Since then I've played SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, PS2, XBOX, GameCube, XBOX360, Wii, PSP, and every GameBoy since day one. I sold my Wii cause I hated it, but I'll be picking one back up for Brawl. I also haven't bought a PS3 because it still needs more games. I don't play much of the older consoles any more, but they're still in my collection, safe from harm.
