sonic1Poet? Warrior-king? Egomaniac? If any of these words describe you, then we have something in common.  This is good news, because I’m going to be writing for our new blog!

 

I grew up playing video games, like a good chunk of the men in my age group. That’s not to say I huddled in the basement with a controller 24/7, just that I enjoyed the classics growing up. I owned a Sega Genesis (and later a Sega CD) and for the cost of a kiss or two, I had frequent access to my neighbour’s Nintendo. She was Player 1. Not much has changed in my love life since then.

My brothers and I used to rent games from a small, family-owned video store not too far from our house. Which meant that for 2 dollars we could play a game for a week, and if we got bored of it there was another one next week. We only owned 2 games – the ones that came with the system. My parents were good with money.

 

So I’ve been a gamer through the old Genesis days through the N64, Playstation 2, XBox 360 and finally my Playstation 3 era.  So until Sony releases a new console that massages my feet while I play, you can expect mostly PS3-related posts from this kid.  I feel that I represent the everyman gamer, the casual gamer.  The handsome, debonair, narcissistic gamer, with eyes that you could get lost in… sorry, I was looking at my reflection in the monitor.


Cheers.
