Platform:
I enjoy playing vintage computer games, along with a bunch of free stuff off the net. I also had a playstation early on, and upgraded to the PS2.

Genre:
This is a big question. I'll play anything, but I'm partial to strategy games. Action games have their place, and I'm a big fan of FPSs, but I perfer one with SOME thought behind the trigger. Games like Rainbow Six kick ass, while Unreal and Quake are nice way to kill a few minutes. Strategy would also include RPGs. They are mostly a story, but there's nothing wrong with that. RPGs like the final fantasy series I find shallow, but Final Fantasy Tactics (which was actually made by Quest) was the best game on the playstation. Now, the peak of strategy is, of course, NetHack. (It's a rouge game, nothing to do with hacking the net) To that effect you could say my favorite genre are rouge- like games. NetHack is not only a great game, it's a great legacy, and totally free! However, games like Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto were beautiful games that are unique and actually worthy of the $50 I shelled out for them.

Personal info:
I’m from a middle-class family, so I can afford a new game every now and then. I’m on the smarter side of society, hurrah. and I’m proud to say that I am really a geek. I have plans on becoming an engineer. I’m a freshman in college right now, and am suffering through dorm life without a computer. This hurts because I like to dawdle in programming and graphic art. I’m also a decent fencer, mostly foil with some epee. As far as games go, I’m a sucker for new ideas, or clever twists to games. They used to take up a large portion of my life, until I realized that they don’t let people develop. At some point you just have to go out and live.

Personal info that you don’t need to know:
I am currently the leader (Shaman) of a cult. The cult of COW no less. (relax, it’s more of a meat club, but you didn’t hear that from me)

Thanks for your time, I'd like to voice my opinions on the industry, it's effect, and why it will go on despite this.
