I live in a fairly small town in Oregon which makes being a part of the larger gaming community a little difficult (thank you Destructoid!). The nearest EB Games/Gamestop is about 35 minutes away in the next town. I'm 24 and have come and gone through several colleges, but none of them ever seemed to work for me. Currently I'm going to a Community College to brush up on some of the basics and hopefully get some type of career in the gaming field.
My very first memory is of playing Mario and Duck Hunt (separate cartridges) on the NES back in 1987 or so. My dad bought us a NES before we even had a VCR, so gaming has always been a part of my life. I'm open to playing any type of game as long as it can hold my interest.
Current Games Being Played:
Team Fortress 2
Rock Band 2
I also love music. My original major was going to be in music until I found out that Music Theory = Sucking the soul out of music. My favorite musician is Frank Zappa. Everything else is second compared to Frank. I know how to play several different instruments but my favorite is an Electric Bass.
