My time in the spotlight was a big wakeup call to update this severely outdated profile. Alright, Im James, and have been at the forums since mid 2001, so "Ye old forums", or now the old old forums. I've been quite active here since that time. Although I'm not a spammer, Id like to think my post-count counts. I've been a mod here, but am now less active then I was then, mostly do to an increase in school work and social life. Ive travelled extensivly, from Anchorage to Ushuia, the most southern civilian city on earth, as well as East onto Europe and Asia (Isreal, turkey). Ive been gaming all my life, but mostly casually. i didnt get deeper into gaming until 2001, or basically, thanks to the forums. Before that, i had a SNES, N64, gameboy and gamegear, but mostly got games through gifts. Luckily, the majority of these games were of high quality, by luck. And even when they werent that good, i had fun with them. Me, myself: I was born in Mexico City, but only lived there for a year, before moving on. From 2000 to 2005, I lived in Southern Brasil, Curitiba which is the capital of Paraná. Its a nice city, with 1.5 million people, but still manages to feel small, but providing all the features big cities do. I graduated from ISC (International School of Curitiba) which follows the American curriculum (and offers the French one as well). I did the IB, and am now in college, BU (Boston University). I'm currently studying business and management here in Boston, and we'll see how that works out...
