About Me

What can I say? Basically, I've been playing video games almost my entire life, currently 25 years old, starting all the way back with the Atari and moving on up over the years. I loved playing with the Atari, but my "hardcoreness", I suppose you could say, didn't really set in until I got a Nintendo Entertainment System.

Super Mario Bros. was great and all, but Mega Man is what solidified my love of gaming, at least that's what stands out the most reminiscing of my childhood of gaming. Also games like Super Mario Bros. 3.

My next console leap was to the Sega Genesis and sometime later I got the Super Nintendo. Super Nintendo was hands down the better of the two consoles in my eyes. The Genesis became an abomination toward the end of it's life cycle. I'd like to claim it was pure hardcoreness that led me to purchase a 32X and such, but honestly it was stupidity, heh.

I skipped the Saturn, wasn't a big fan of Sega at this point and honestly I didn't have any interest in anything on the system. I got a Playstation and eventually a Nintendo 64.

Playstation 2 was next and then eventually a Sega Dreamcast. The Dreamcast was a great system but still ended up failing, which sucks since it ultimately set Sega packing in the console making business. Playstation 2 was great. I got an XBox later and followed much later by a Game Cube.

This generation of consoles I have an XBox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. Both great consoles in their own ways. Don't yet have a PS3, I refused to purchase one until Yakuza 3 was announced for release in the US. It hasn't been officially announced yet, but it's not looking too bad. I may have a PS3 not long from now, but one positive thing about waiting so long is that I'll be able to pick up many great games for low prices if they came out a while ago.

I enjoy a lot of different games and genres. I play a lot of FPS, action/adventure, horror, etc. Love the Resident Evil series, Legacy of Kain series, early Mega Man titles, various wrestling titles, etc.

Tales of Etrian Odyssey Trevor McGee | 12:06 AM on 05.24.2008 2 comments

First things first, I haven't played the first Tales of Etrian Odyssey. So I can't very well post my feelings or thoughts of the game since I haven't yet played it. However, I do find it a bit unfair that I'd have to, to enter this contest. That's pretty much like having a "Purchase Necessary" contest as opposed to the typical "No Purchase Necessary" clause. Besides, if I did win this it could very well help get me into the games to where I actually have to go out and buy the first one, and besides I love a good soundtrack with some extras. So I ask; why can't I be counted? Well, hopefully I will and the people who're running the contest will see fit to allow me to enter with this blog despite not having actually played the first. At the very least, I think I should get an entry for not being a dick about it and stealing some info from GameFAQs or Wikipedia and acting as if I have actually played it. So there you have it. I have a feeling some people will not like my doing this, but ah well, it's worth taking the chance. Attached photos:
