Hello Dtoid,

It's about time I started this blog, I've been a lurker and reader for a long time. The tipping point was my boy JamesOn starting his blog. Check out the PC he's building.

I wouldn't classify myself as a hardcore gamer, but I have potential. Games added flavor to my childhood, but were not a main focus. I entered college never having played Halo, and having only barely heard of it, but am now the proud owner of a never-RRoD'd 360. Knock on wood.

I am passionate about the things that interest me: sports, movies, and games (shocking, I know); I hope to contribute impassioned and knowledgeable discussion of these topics.

EDIT Facts that the comments so far have spurred me to add:

I am a 21 yo male (sorry everyone!) living in the continental US. JamesOn is my friend from college, and 'my boy' was intended as 'my friend.' I'm not his mom, the PC he's building is, sadly, not for me.

Although full posts on 'games I have played' and 'games I an eager to play' are forthcoming, I will say my current 360 library consists only of: Orange Box, Mass Effect and Halo 3. I can't wait to join some FNF fun in Halo and especially TF2, but my tubes are, at times, mildly clogged.

I am glad to say that the comments I've received so far have been more positive than expected, it's nice to see a community I've enjoyed as a lurker isn't as punishing as I had feared!
