Alright, I'm not so poor. I am, however, "a representative of the larger majority of video game players" - meaning I'm male and 16-28 years old. I'll write a post here for the now-and-then that regards what games I'm playing. They're usually free. And pretty damn bad. But hey, beggers can't choose. Some quick background: I'm a PHP & Java programmer; self-taught (mostly). Teaching myself Python right now. Games got me into programming four years ago, and I enjoy both. I suck at FPS, but like them anyway. Pretty good at strategy games but only ever enjoyed Starcraft (Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War wasn't bad either - and no, I don't play Warhammer). Don't really keep up with MMOs any more; they stole my soul for a while there. I took it back though. Consoles... Well I have a Wii sitting here. Not mine though. Hell, I don't even play it. I'm usually always around a PC through out the day, so that's where most of my gaming takes place. Simple.
