An avid gamer for nearly twenty years (makes me sound really old!), I originally cut my teeth on the NES. I participated in my fair share of console wars until age and experience taught me the true meaning of being a gamer. Now that adult responsibilities have the tendency to eat up the majority of my time, I tend to stick with old-school games, oddities and rare titles, and anything that offers a challenge. I'm a major RPG enthusiast and feel that they give an opportunity for you to break away from life's daily grind, allowing you to really detach from the worries and the monotonous routines of modern day living. *exits soapbox*
