About

Name: Peter
Home State: New York
Currently Residing In: Utah
Birthday: October 13th, 1985 (I'll always secretly consider the NES to have been a week-late birthday present to me from Nintendo.)
Specialty: Writing

I'm a Mass Communication/Journalism graduate from the University of Utah, which I'm starting to question, since it was a tough field to get into even before the economy went down the toilet. I love writing; Not only do I consider it my passion, but I also believe it's an invaluable skill for this socially-connected age in which we live. Writing about video games brings me more joy than I can even describe in words, which is saying a lot, considering.

As far as video games go, I've been a gamer since I was two-and-a-half. I try to play whatever interests me, despite what other people think of those games. I suppose I consider myself to be "obsessed" with gaming, but not in the sense that all I want to do is beat games. I'm fascinated with the industry as a whole, and in some way, shape or form, I'd love to be a part of it professionally someday.

CURRENT FAVORITES:

Metal Gear Solid Series (PS1, PS2, & PS3)
Fatal Frame Series (PS2, Xbox, Wii)
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES (PS2)

I am so happy in the face right now. (Shortblog)

7:48 PM on 01.31.2012

I'd like to add my personal good news to the plethora of excellent Phoenix Wright stuff that's been coming out this week. Today, I have FINALLY secured the last game in the series, which gives me the complete Ace Attorney series in one place!

It took me forever to find these games after Jonathan Holmes introduced me to the series on the Wii, and now that they've been out for such a long time, they're all crazy expensive. After months of searching, I ended up finding them at various GameStops -- all in mint condition -- for less than $20 a piece. One of the games was also a birthday gift, so I actually only paid about $70 TOTAL for the entire series.

But the centerpiece of the collection isn't any of the games, oh, no. It's this amazing stylus that was a preorder bonus for Justice for All in Japan that my girlfriend was able to track down online:

IT'S HIS ARM, PEOPLE. HIS POINTING "OBJECTION!" ARM. And I don't even mind the fact that it looks like his finger is wearing a condom!

I'm in my glory right now. If I had paid the full prices for these games (i.e., what they're worth NOW), I wouldn't be nearly as giddy. The fact that I paid next to nothing for the series is what's blowing my mind.

Viewtiful Joe is one series I was never able to get into, but I've only played demos.

Dayum. Well done.

Jealous, I am jealous. I've only played the first game (and loved it) because the remaining games are so expensive.

If you don't mind downloadable stuff, the Wii versions are totally worth it. I played the first one on the Wii, and it was great.

I actually haven't played any beyond the second game, since I don't have a DS anymore. But I'm going to borrow the hell out of my friend's DS here pretty soon.

knutaf

Awesome stuff. I have only played the first one, but really want to at least play the second one. Custom styluses are rad. We only have the transparent feather that came with Phantom Hourglass or something.

Love the stylus! Congrats on finding a thing you love.

OHMYGODDATSTYLUS!

Seriously though, this is a great series (although I thought Investigations was a little meh), so good for you for having the complete set!

Kaggen

Woah, finger wearing condoms is the new fad!

BumGamer

I never got what all the fuss was about Ace Attorney. The games look fun but the writing, judging by YouTube videos, is laughably bad.

@BumGamer

That's part of the appeal, really. It's a cheesy as hell series, but you still can't help but majorly get into it.
