The Basics:
The most important thing I can tell you about me is that I'm a lifelong gamer, having played video games for more than 30 years beginning with arcade classics like Tempest and home consoles like the Atari 2600. In that time, controllers evolved past one stick/one button configurations and games beyond blocks of a few pixels. Ironically, I'm still a noob LOL.
I've been trying to think of what else to tell you that might give you some insight on who I am without compromising my crime-fighting alter-ego (haha), so here goes ...
