Hi, my name is Lyle.
I started gaming back in the Megadrive/Genesis era. The first real video game I ever played was Sonic and Knuckles.

Alas, five years later and we're still very happy. She's the best thing that ever happened to me.
I have a degree in English, and dream of one day becoming a video game journalist. It's a hard industry to break into, but I'm still young and very determined.
