About Me
The following images are over a year old however I do plan to get some more recent pictures up in the near future, not pictured are some new systems such as a Wii,PS3, DS Lite, more shelves with alot more games (especialy PS2 360 DS and PSP games), and some new posters/signs (like a HUGE official Atari Jaguar Banner). Some things have changed around alittle bit, however this is a pretty good depiction of what my collection looks like today (as I never get rid of anything), just missing alot of new items. I would also like you to know that this indeed IS my bedroom, and I have been playing games for around 16 years, and have been "collecting" games for around 8 years. ***You can find a bio about me by scrolling to the bottom of all of these pictures***

I like to spend my life thinking, playing, talking, writing, and collecting videogames. It's what I do! I have other interests like drawing, web design, graphic design, movies (horror, sci fi, anime), and alot more. My other favorite hobbies are Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I have easily seen all the stars movies all together about 100 times, and I have seen each LotR movie 3 times in the theaters and way too many times at home on DVD.
If I'm online I am most likely at www.digitpress.com/forums or browsing sites like Gamespot, youtube, Joystiq, keeping up on my gaming knowledge so that I am never outdated in what I know in the world of games. I dont haveto play a game to know about it, I look into almost each and every new game title that is coming out, even ones i never plan on buying. I also listen to a ton of gaming podcasts, I even did my own until I no longer had time for it between work and school. Ones I listen to alot are Allgames Interactive, Achievement junkie, Videogame outsiders, EGM Live, the 1UP Show, Major Nelson, and alot more. My favorite videogame ever made is Ico on PS2. Anyone that knows me knows exactly how obsessed I am with that game.
I play online games alot, and when I get addicted to an online game I literaly spend thousands of hours playing (My all time highest amount of time put into a game was SOCOM on PS2, clocking in about 4,500 hours as well as being ranked 20th in the World. I also play Final Fantasy XI on 360 right now (long time player since release on PS2, however I also take frequent long and extended breaks from the game) and have over 3,500 hours invested in it.
My DVD collection only consists of anime, horror, fantasy, and sci-fi, some TV series, and of course Star Wars and Lord of the Rings box Sets, easily my two most favorite movie series ever. I am a HUGE horror fan and enjoy the oldies, its getting arder and harder to find a good horror flick from the past couple of years. If you check out pics of my room you can basicaly see that the only thing I spend my money on are games, dvd's, star wars, and lord of the rings.
You should also know that I am not one of those Hot Topic kids who thinks hes a 'retro gamer' because he wears videogame related shirts that are from games from the 80's. I know my stuff, and have been a gamer since I was like 5 years old. I started off with a colecovision and from there I became addicted to any game system I could get my hands on. I own systems from all companies and time periods, and am not a fanboy in anyway, but I am not afraid to pinpoint bad systems, but I do not have a bias against them.
I have been a game collector for about 8 years, I found a lifestyle and hobby that truly is now my life. I have over 1000 games, spanning over 45 different systems. Its also an addiction, as I spend 90% of my money on strictly gaming related material, the other is spent on clothes and such. Sure I own old games, but do I play/still buy them? I find myself buying more old games than current generation games, I mostly buy from ebay and do online trades at websites such as www.digitpress.com. I also play my old games, infact one of my most recent systems is a 3DO, which I simply fell in love with, and in over a months time I have amassed over 60 complete 3DO games which cost me around $350.
So please add me to your friends list if you are a fellow gamer, or someone just seeking gaming knowledge. Feel free to IM me, message me for my SN, if you ever wanna talk nerd, and be warned, I go afk alot without putting up an away message, if thats not the case then I simply just dont wanna talk to you :^)
