  A Little About Me

  I should have written this when I first thought about doing so, when I had the enthusiam to do so. Nevermind, bullet points will suffice. I should also have written this years ago, but better late then never I suppose.
  
  Gaming Related
  
  * I have been gaming for almost 18 years, or when I was just 3 years old!
  
  * The first game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive (Genesis in the US).
  
  * I consider myself a 'retro gamer' as I enjoy the games between the NES/Master System and PS1/N64 eras more than anything.
  
  * My all-time favourite game is Super Metroid on the SNES.
  
  * My all-time favourite console is currently the NES. (Although having to blow into those cartridges as often as you did could really hurt your cheeks!)
  
  * I consider Super Mario Bros. 2 (Doki Doki Panic with facepaint) to be the best Mario platformer released. (It is also my 2nd favourite game of all-time!)
  
  * I think the GTA series is incredibly overhyped, although i'm a big fan of GTA and GTA III.
  
  * I once wasted nearly an entire year playing Socom II online almost every single night. (I'm well aware how much this makes me a loser and I admit the game isn't that great either lol.)
  
  * My current console of choice is the DS. As I write this I have just completed Phantom Hourglass, yay!
  
  * I'm currently studying 'Game Software Development' at University.
  
  * I work with a friend on a Youtube project called VGgameplay. It involves playthrough's of entire games, mostly retro. (http://www.youtube.com/VGgameplay)
  
  Non-game Related
  
  * I was born and live in the UK. Not the most popular of countries, but it'll have to do!
  
  * The only 2 sports I really follow are Formula 1 and NHL. The latter of which i've only been following a year. (I do try keeping up-to-date with the Tennis too.)
  
  * My favourite movies include Wayne's World, Kill Bill, Battle Royale, and as of 3 weeks ago The Dark Knight.
  
  * My favourite TV shows include South Park, Family Guy, Peep Show, Spaced, Scrubs and The Office (US Version).
  
  * When I was 13 I got run over on the way home from school. A little worse for where, I picked myself up off the floor and immediately apoligised. (Sadly a few of my friends whitnessed this event and hold it against me 'till this day lol.)
  
  * I've never officially broken a single bone in my body, although i've two near-invisible scars on my chin and nose lol. (I say officially, I stumped my big toe about a month ago and it still hurts today!)
  
  * I absolutely love hugs and cuddles and i'm not afraid to admit it! (Although of late these have been few and far between.)
  
  * I only drink to get drunk and so I don't get drunk, I get hammered!
