video games have been a part of my life for a long as I can remember. My grandmother bought me the NES the day it launched and I have been a hardcore gamer ever since. I have had every system that has been released and played PC games for a bit but can't hide my love for console gaming. I played WoW for 2 years and decided it was taking to much of my life. Just joined the site because of Drunk3nDuffman. he and i work together. great site from what I have seen and awesome topics. I gotta be honest though I dig xbox over everything else out right now but Sega Dreamcast is the greatest system ever released in my opinion. the games were amazing and the graphics were astounding for the time period. i think it was released to early for it to strive. other than that im looking forward to being a contributing member of the site!
