My Way of Saying Hi
Ok so I guess I should explain who it is that I am as this is my attempt at a (hopefully decent) intro post. Avid gamer (maybe stating the obvious) as long as I can remember gaming with the likes of the original Nintendo back when the pursuit of gaming was without fanboys and you could use pixels to learn how to count to 100... or if you had a small attention span 25. My 'avatar' name is the title of a Gaunt's Ghost novel by Dan Abnett (warhammer 40K and definitely recommend the series) and well... I think it sounds bad ass.

Can't quite say exactly what got me into gaming in the first place really. Back in the day I was rockin' original nintendo with games like the ninja turtles and sky shark it was alwsys me trying to get that much further and see if i could beat it. Most of you, fondly or otherwise, remember the dark days before sony introduced the massively expensive memory card (honestly $40 for an 8mb card... while gig SD's were only 30...wtf)
But from there it had to be Metal Gear Solid that MADE gaming for me. I mean a game that was unconventional and had REAL characters that you cared about ( I got blisters on me fingers from rapidly pressing O to save meryl from ocelot). But then there are also the staple franchises like Final Fantasy. X is my current favourite, IX is the sentimental favourite... and ok ok I get that I am BLATANTLY COMMITTING HERESY for not putting FFVII there...BUT... when VII was released I wasnt really there for it... I had never played FF before and only just learning about the ways of the bandicoot and FFIX was the first FF that I played so steady on, and FF tactics... well if you played this game then you know. And then all the titles of Naughty dog - crash, jak, and most recently nathan.
