Introduction to me.

[groovekittie]

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there. K, that was lame. *sigh* (Here via ashley's post on dw_community_promo.)

I'm probably way older than everyone here (as I find I am in most communities); as I'm 33, but that's fine. :) I'm an old school Nintendo fan. My first console was the original NES, complete with the gun and game pad for the Olympics! I've had every single Nintendo console since then, up to and including the Wii.

I've also had an Atari console and played the original Sega and Sega Dreamcast consoles as well. Oh and the old Colecovision too. The Smurf game in particular.

I even played the original arcade Mario Bros. at the corner store ... yes, I'm that old. :P

As for PC gaming, I just stick to World of Warcraft and a few emulators. I do like Shakes & Fidget when I'm at work. Shhhh. :P

Uh ... yeah.

Ooh, I am totally obsessed with the Lego games on Wii! Totally obsessed. Right now, I'm working on Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 (I got it for Christmas thanks to a gift card from my boyfriend). I have 100% completion on Lego Indiana Jones (the first game), 99.6% on Lego Batman (game's scratched and can't complete), and will start on Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga once I'm finished with HP (we lost it for a while before I got to it, but it is now found).

So glad I found this little comm!

Greetings!

Hi, everyone! New to this community and to Dreamwidth; figured I'd introduce myself. I'm a mid-twenties lady (or "individual of mysterious and indistinct gender", depending what kind of mood I'm in) of mixed race from Canada, and I've been into video games as long as they've existed. The stuff I love mostly skews towards narrative-based games, from classic LucasArts adventures (Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle) to experimental interactive fiction (Photopia, Galatea, Blue Lacuna), though they'll occasionally venture mainstream as well. Lately, I've been playing a lot of Echo Bazaar -- I usually get tired of games where you have to grind a lot, but the darkly humourous writing makes it worthwhile. :)

I'm also an indie game developer, which I blog about on my public site. Recently, I released an ambitious little project called Life Flashes By, which is currently in open beta and available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. I've also done a little work on some higher profile games, such as DeathSpank and the first Sam & Max series by Telltale, and have spoken on a few panels at PAX in Seattle.

Nice to meet you all!

Hola!

Where to begin? I go by the name Bat (self appointed nickname) and I'm 24 years old. I've played video games since I was in diapers. My mom is a gamer too , has been since before I was born (and STILL is at 45). The very first system I played was Atari as a baby and later, Nintendo (when it was brand new - my mom had to have it). I seem to have a natural knack for playing video games, be it from playing from such a young age or out of luck, and I tend to piss off (usually my bro) or amaze people with my skills (don't misjudge though, I'm not cocky nor do I compete, just play because I love to). I've also recently realized that my seven year old sister is a gamer. <3

I love RPG games above all other genres but I play everything. Can't play FPSs for too long though because they start making me nauseous. Also don't play MMORPG games because I have an old computer. T-T

Consoles I currently own: XBox (broken though *sigh*), Game Boy (still have mine from when I was eight!), Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance SP, DS (recently acquired from my mom), half ownership of my brother's PS2 (odd story), and I use to own a PS1 (gave it to my bro) and a Game Gear (but someone stole it). Currently looking to acquire a Wii or 360. x3

I've played just about every other console though, except for Dreamcast. >.<

Favorite Games: Final Fantasy series (played/ing I, VII[OGC and DoC] - X-2, XII and XII: RW, and all Tactics games (which I love the most out of the series), Silent Hill series (played 1 - 4), Metal Gear Solid series (played 1 - 3), Fable series (played 1 and some of 2), Resident Evil (played 3 - 5, but none of the side ones), Wild Arms 3, Jade Empire, Thief: Deadly Shadows (so much love), Jet Set Radio Future, Elder Scrolls series (PWNEDplayed 3 and a wee bit of 4), Pokemon games (shameless love), Yugioh games (and cards too - both pre-GX), Legend of Zelda series (played 1 - Ocarina of Time *is behind*), Bioshock series, Deus Ex series (CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEW ONE!), Street Fighter 2 (old school love!), Spryo games, Tomb Raider games, Splinter Cell series (played all except the most recent one!), Whacked (silly XBox game but I love it *guilty pleasure game*), Marc Ecko's Getting Up, Project Overkill, Wild 9, Sims Castaway, and recently, MySims Agents. Got to play Assassin's Creed once too and I LOVED it, but I just don't have the console for it. *weeps*

And from my favorite games list, you can currently assume one thing about me - I love variety. xD

I also occasionally write fanfiction for games, mostly Final Fantasy stuff but I've written Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid fics too. I write mostly femslash/yuri stuff, but there's some het and slash fics too. I plan to do some Final Fantasy fanart soon and I've drawn Spyro the dragon and use to do a lot of Pokemon drawings as well (did a picture of Goku from the Dragonball games/anime once too). =3

Nice to meet you all!
