Born in 1981. Diagnosed with autism at age 3. Grew up with Atari800 and NES in elementary school, and remained a fan of Nintendo ever since, while also buying other consoles from time to time and upgrading my PC for gaming. Today, primarily a fan of Nintendo's games and indie games, along with a few non-Nintendo big budget games. Kind of a variety gamer who loves being surprised by games I didn't know I'd love. I love how the indie scene has led to a massive burst in creativity and passion for new ideas that, to me, has revitalized gaming. Having grown up with older games, but moved on to new ones, I have a healthy respect for the past and how it led to where we are today. I try to see the good and bad in all eras of gaming.
