What started your love for gaming?
I was 3 and my parents had a sega master system which had sonic the hedgehog built in, ahh my first love. <3
WTF do you do on your blog?
I currently do two things..
1.I post reviews
2.I have this show called personal jukebox which I highlight my fave tracks from video games.
I do plan on making other shows for my blog in the near future.
Wait a min? Your 19? How can you be a retro gamer?
I believe that age has nothing to do with it and by the way I'm not that young, I still remember alot about gaming over my life, I remember running into my local Kmart and seeing rows of NES & master system games and I also remember seeing games evolve.
Man I can write a tangled up in blue like song about this.
Besides video games, what do you like?
I like tabletop games like yugioh,Dungeons & dragons, Warhammer and heroclix which I hope to do articles on.
I also like movies, heavy metal and collecting vinyl records.
What got you started on writing reviews?
It all started back in 2006 when I started watching a show called video masters TV. (check it out)
I loved how they were so honest about video games and I thought they were the wisest gamers I've seen which inspired me to review myself.
Since I started reviewing I managed to get a job on a review site called gamerau, so if it wasnt for them I wouldent have been able to experence this wonderful job.
So I would like to say thank you to the video masters tv crew for getting me into writing.

Day 3 of 7.
On todays episode of Happy B'day gameboy I bring you my 6th installment of personal jukebox with some tracks that came from games which played a big role in my gaming lifestyle. well since this is the 6th episode of personal jukebox, you may not know what it is. Personal jukebox is a show where I highlight my fave tracks from certain video games. I will post a season 1 marathon once I've done with the gameboy party. Todays tracks are: stage 1 theme - Kirbys dreamland stage 1 theme - Super Mario land theme b - Tetris FEVER! - Dr.Mario Intro theme - Pokemon Red Intro theme - Donkey Kong land 2 Enjoy. I will do this again on the 6th day but with gameboy color games.

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
There's something about Mario traversing through Japan, and flying/scuba diving with fireballs that makes it completely original. I often times got sick of the later Mario games, but not "Land".
