As there are many blogs you could be reading right now let me tell you why the greater interest of mine is so terribly slight.

My gaming adventures started on the old Nintendo's of yester-year, to be more specific the SNES.(Super Nintendo for all the youngin's!) I like to think of Nintendo gamers in categories, so ask yourself this: were you a Zelda kid, a Donkey Kong kid, a Mario kid, or a Metroid kid? I was a Donkey Kong kid. However, I did also enjoy the liking's of Sonic the Hedgehog and Earthworm Jim on the Sega Genesis. Though I'm not trying to say that anyone who played these games as a child were different from each other in any way I'm just saying that I played the shit out of the original Donkey Kong Country games, and that other people enjoyed their particular series as well. In later years I found myself divided, "where should I go? Do I continue my loyalty with Nintendo? Or do I branch out and expand my options?" Well as it turned out I received my first PlayStation 2 with two very different titles: Grand Turismo 3 and Dark Cloud. Thus began my humble beginnings into the video game world. Since then I've remained a Sony fan but also getting a small helping of the Wii on the side.

So you read where I started and got a taste of where I am now when it comes to my hobby, but "what is a man?"... but "who is the man?" I should say. I'll just transition that horrible Castlevania joke and I'll just list my favorite games... in no particular order.

Bioshock
Shadow of the Colossus
Donkey Kong Country 2
Catherine
Chrono Trigger
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the Gameboy Colour
Yoshi's Island
Magic the Gathering Battle Grounds(terrible game but really fun)

However if I had to pick one game above all others, without a doubt in my mind it is Sly 2: Band of Thieves. I've never had more fun with a game, and I've never felt the same sense of playing a Saturday morning cartoon. Beyond that the differences between The first game and the second are staggering.

Now how it became so that I am even typing this today, how I found this community of gamers at large. It all began in 2009 when a friend recommended I watch a show on The Escapist called Zero Punctuation. I had a good laugh and I've been watching ever since. Then last year I saw an ad on Escapist for a show called The Jimquisition. I ignored it at first, thinking the guy on the cover of the ad looks like a complete douche. Well I was right, in a way. I personally loved his character and really attached immediately. The first episode I watched was "The Ugly Secret of Horror Games!" After watching for a while I decided to check out the site he kept mentioning and now here I am.

In closing, that's my story I hope you liked it.
