Jorvik's profile

I live in Maine.

I like playing in the snow.

I love playing video games. Especially retro games, but I appreciate modern ones as well. The first game I ever played was Pool of Radiance back in the 80s. After saving the city of Phlan I was hooked for life. But Link to the Past remains the greatest game ever.

Currently shmups have displaced RPGs in my gaming life, but I still have a soft spot for Chrono Trigger.

Digital Slaves:

Genesis
Saturn
Dreamcast
PS2
Gamecube
Nintendo 64
Xbox (Magical)

I like Euroboard games. Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Bohnanza, Samurai, these are fine things.

Random Fact: I am a curmudgeonly old man who studies English grammar in his spare time. Someday I aspire to write good.
