Thank you all for the warm welcome, I guess my intro may seem a little vague, so I'll take a little more time to describe myself a little more.
First off I'm living in sunny Florida , although I grew up in upstate new York , I moved to Florida after my parents moved here, I may add I'm a little bit older, lol I'm 47 and I've been gaming since the days of pong, and Atari , I'm married with 2 sons that also game , my older son is attending college studying computer graphics and design , he is a gamer as well and belongs to a site called RoG .... My other son is also a gamer he is 12 yrs old, but he loves ice Hockey , yes "I know I'm in Florida" lol , he is on a travel team and we travel all over from Miami,Florida all the way up to Ottawa ,Canada ...a lot of tournaments on Holidays, we are a Hockey Family-Household ..
May as well add that I'm retired, at 45 I ended my working career , I worked two jobs most of the time and I made some lucky investments,purchases when the real estate market was crazy , flipping houses paid off and at 45 I was done.
My wife works in corporate finance, she's a senior controller at NASCAR .....needless to say she's always busy but after 25 years of marriage we must be doing something right.
When people ask me if I am getting a new release more then likely the answer is yes, I have a huge game collection , for systems from Nintendo -64 , GameCube ,original x-box, PS-3, and X-box 360 , and I also have a 16 bit sega system , now most of these are boxed away , my "go-to is and always will be my X-box360 ......laughing , my wife just shakes her head and laughs when she sees all of these games in wrappers , but I will play them all someday lol, my buddy has been the store MGR , at my local GameStop , and every year after the E-3show I go to his store/w a list and pre-order my games for the upcoming season....the only downside is they get price reductions sometimes before I even open the game ...."oh-well "
Been a member at several different sites, and even tried having my own site with a few friends, it turned into a lot of work and became a drama filled experience , so I'm not trying that again,lol I was part of a site that lasted about 4-5 years and then it sort of came apart, for several reasons, currently frequent a site that is like a family type place with a little touch of gaming ? It has a few restrictions such as age, and its male only ?
Wow I'm starting to ramble on to much , lol don't want to scare anybody .
There's plenty of room on my fr-list , I'll say I enjoy playing Battlefield, and I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Borderlands game , sprinkle in some RPG,s and that explains my gaming tastes, I'm not into cheating, or Bullying in lobby's , I think helping somebody get some specific achievements is different then boosting or cheating , I'll say it's teamwork !
So there's a little more "in-depth "intro , I'll warn you sometimes my punctuation, and my grammar may not be of Harvard or Ivey league , but I usually can get the point across lol
Looking forward to meeting some new like minded gamers, thanks for having me here !
