Well Since I'm new to the site, but a long time "Jeff" fan due to the site that shall remain nameless, I thought I'd introduce myself in a bit more of a formal manner. My name is Jesse, I'm 18 years old and I reside in Minnesota, in a small hick town where I don't fit in what so ever. I'm about 5' 7" and I'm around 150 lb. Some would call me emo, but that's only because of my unique style. I'm a compassionate person who is sick of the "racist" and "homophobic" children on Live.
As for hobbies, I like to skateboard. I've been skating for a few years now and I'm pretty good. I don't blindly follow the Tony Hawk games, though. Obviously another hobby I have is the art of playing video games. I've been playing games since the Sega Genesis. I have fond memories of playing sonic and golden axe and some, more obscure games such as cool spot.... I believe that's what it's called. It's where you play as the dot from the 7up logo. The most clever character/ promotion idea ever. Everytime I played, all I could think about was the cool, refreshing taste of 7up, bestoying it's greatness upon me.
Out of the current gen consoles, I own the 360 and the Wii. I have no future plans of buying a PS3 but who knows. As for older consoles, I own a bunch. The promonant ones being the N64, PSX, and all the last gen consoles..... well maybe excluding the gamecube. With that being said, you may have guessed that I'm not much of a Wii fan. It's okay but I don't even remember the last time I turned it on. I only own super paper mario and super mario galaxy for it. I feel no desire to waist my money on any other Wii game. Also, the controller bugs me. I like one peice. Whenever I play Mario galaxy, my left hand limps a little so when I think I'm pointing straight, mario swerves off to the left. I could go on and on about other annoying things about the Wii but why bother. You get my point.
As for the 360, I love it. I do have Live ( GT= Ryoujoku No Ame ) and I play it a good amount. Mostly Halo 3 but once RE5 and Gears 2 comes out, I'll probably get off the Halo 3 for a while. Oh and if you add me on Live, be prepared to be ignored by me until you make some effort of be-friending me. I only play with good friends. Plus I mute everyone. Oh and before you ask, my GT is a song by my favorite band, Dir en grey. They are a Japanese band. I believe the song translates to Rain of Indignity. Anyway, some other 360 games I own that are worth mentioning are Gears, Bioshock (which I still haven't played past the first level), Uno, Doom,..... Ya, Halo 3 makes it hard for me to get another game. It's just easy to jump in and play. I tend to play mostly shooters, incase you didn't notice. I like plenty of other game types but shooters interest me the most.
I'll list off some other old games that I enjoyed a good bit. Super Mario World/ 64, Most Zelda games from the 64 and beyond, the Halo series, the Onimusha series with 2 being the best, Hot Shots Golf Four, the Tony Hawk games up till THUG, SKATE, DBZ Budokai 1-3 and Burst Limit, PGR series, all GB/ GBA Pokemon games, Pokemon Collosium for the 64, Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Mario Tennis, RE4, Syphon Filter for the PSX, WCW vs. NWO Revenge, Banjo Kazooi, Diddy Kong Racing, Sonic 1-3 on the genesis, Rachet and Clank up till Up Your Arsenal and.... that's all I can think of that really pop out in my mind, at least at the moment.
Music and Movies..... I listen to mainly harder music, the occasional old rap, and a few obscure artists like Johnny Cash. I hate country music but I love Johnny. Favorite artist, as previously stated, is Dir en grey. Japanese rock is much better then American rock, IMO. As for movies, I'm into whatever. Not so much into the chick flix. Horror and comedy seem to be the movies I enjoy the most. Martial Arts is also great. Enter the Dragon FTW. Most of my dvd collection is anime. That doesn't mean cartoon network, children.
I guess I'll just list off other tech devices I own. A Toshiba laptop, an iPod video, a Samsung F-250 cellular device, an older sony reciever/ 5 disk dvd changer with 6 speakers and a sub woofer, a dock to play my music off the iPod onto the nice system, a large collection of DBZ dvds (I'm a hugh fan of DB), a 32" Vizio LCD tv, a beautiflul, black glass and metal tv stand, a Black and Decker tower fan, and an emo haircut. Yes, I know, very technically equiptment.
I learned about this site through the podcast formally known as the Arrow Pointing Down Podcast, now known as Giant Bombcast. A few other podcasts I listen to are the Bungie Studio's Podcast, Gamehounds.net Podcast, and Major Nelson's Podcast. Others have stopped running and I moarn the loss of them. They are Podtacular and Gamer Andy Live!. Gamer Andy live! in particular is one that I miss greatly but i guess Gamehounds in a decent substitute. Also, with me being a once time Yu gi oh fan, I watch Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series. It takes clips from episodes and molds them into a montage of adult humor, as well as internet meems. There is still progression as though it is a running series, which makes it even funnier.
Well that's about all that really matters to me. Feel free to ask questions, even though I know you won't. I, myself love to prey on other people and invade into thier private lives and I'm sure alot of you share that desire so I'm sure some of you will have no choice but to read this epic blog. I'll just rap it up then. Peace.
