Wow...so after a lot of reading and a lot of lurking I finally decided to take the plunge and join the neighborhood. We'll see how it goes.

One of the reasons I didn't join originally when the C-Blogs were getting started was the fact that I already had my own blog as it was. But some of you may know, blogger sucks. And unless your post is about 'how to get more traffic' or porn pics then good luck getting any readers on blogger. Of course, just because there's already a community doesn't mean squat in terms of readers but at least its a start and no worse off than I was where I was at.

Granted I have no idea why anyone would read my stuff. My journalism is shoddy and my work ethic is puke. Hmmm, maybe that's why no one wants to hire me. Note to self -- work on uhm 'that.'

But I guess I do have a spin no one else has here. I own a DS and a PSP like just about everyone else. I have a PS2, an SNES, N64 and a Turbo Grafx-16 (albeit broken), all of which makes me nothing special. Although I just might be the only one here that doesn't own a friggin 360 or PS3. I do have a Wii but until Brawl, No More Heroes and Endless Ocean in 2008, the thing has collected dust.

Yep. I'm soooo last gen still. Of course that might change real soon as I'm just about out of my debt but of course, something else will come up -- something with the car, a surprise hospital visit, legal fees in an alledged stat. rape case -- women really ought to wear signs around their necks with their ages on them.

But I wouldn't call myself 'not hardcore' or 'uncore.' I started with a 2600 and going on up until now, I've owned just about every console in between. Sadly I've sold just about every system and game I've owned when I went to college. My number one wish is to be able to go back 10 years ago and kick 16-year old me's ass for even thinking about selling the Saturn. And to tell him to buy a copy of Panzer Dragoon SaGa or I'll be
back.

Oh how I wish I had you...



What I am is fucking poor to the hardcore.

So I guess I should end with the games I like but that might take forever. I love just about every friggin genre. I grew up on RPGs like Rogue, Bard's Tale (not the gay new ones,) Ultima, Phantasy Star and two other games some sort of Fantasy and Something Quest -- but I've developed Adult ADD and I can't even count how many RPGs I have lying around the house that I've started and never finished. That and you know -- having a job and paying bills makes playing through Baten Kaitos a secondary priority. I don't really want to be panhandling outside the library and smelling like rat piss and booze. Though I guess it wouldn't be the first time. Tony Hawk Pro Skater II pretty much got me fired from my job back then.

But yeah, I'm a lot like Chad -- I hate just about nothing. I can find something enjoyable with any game. It's all AMAZING!!! So hopefully I'll fit in here. If I wind up being a douche, I'm sure you'll let me know in your own special ways.

And yeah, I need a real banner.
