Hey there, I'm Jon. I'm 23 and live in Queens NY. Video Games (and dorky stuff in general) has been a constant driving force in my life, based off the friend's I have made and the things I do. It just felt natural to start a blog here since I can be among like minded individuals who share "the passion" of something that honestly not many people "get".

My key genre is the JRPG since I like story in my games. Aside from the platforming classics of Mario/Sonic etc, I really got into gaming when I discovered the likes of Final Fantasy, Lunar and the Lucas Arts Point and Click adventure games, so I like more linear games that have more of a focus on character development etc. People disagree with me but whatever. I like just about every genre except for sports and post-guitar hero rhythm games (A minority there, but I can deal). Basically, if it looks good and interesting; I'll check it out.
