You can call me Glenn.
I'm old school, man. Some of my favorites:
Strategy: Civilization series, Battle for Wesnoth, Warcraft II, RoTK series
Action/Platform: Katamari Damacy, Dynasty Warriors Series
RPG: Chrono Trigger, Xenogears
Sports: NBA 2K series
FPS: Deus Ex
Rhythm: DDR series (yeah, I said it)
Other stuff from back in the day: point & click adventures like Gabriel Knight, Sam & Max, Quest for Glory series. Doom & Wolfenstein. Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Super Mario 3, Mario Kart. The first thing in my house that played games was a Commodore 64. Giana Sisters was good times. First and only online-RPG I've played at length was The Fates of Twinion on the iMagination network. Never been a fan of Metroid or Zelda. Don't ask me why, I don't know.

Other interests:
Playing guitar and listening to music, singing (rock, folk, jazz, electro, french old school and nouvelle chanson, bossa nova and Brazilian popular music, plus many other styles)
Movie watchin': Films by Bergman, Kurosawa, Jean-Luc Godard, Hayao Miyazaki, Kubrick, Satoshi Kon, Jeunet & Caro. Stuff like A History of Violence, Serial Experiments Lain, Before Sunrise/Sunset, Inland Empire.
Book readin': Some fave novels are 100 Years of Solitude, Steppenwolf, Lolita, The Invisible Man (Ralph Ellison), Midnights Children, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Comix: Blankets, Maus, Persepolis, Y: The Last Man. Others: Guns, Germs, & Steel; Down and Out in Paris and London

Basketball

I want to use this blog to make translations into English from French game sites or mainstream press articles about video games. Maybe the occasional review or opinion or something like that.
