I started gaming as far back as life itself, back in the Atari/ColecoVision days.  I have a big Atari tattoo on the back of my neck, symbolizing this, which is some of my first memories of being alive.

I am a Blizzard Friends Lister, and have been Beta testing their games since Warcraft 3 (if Diablo 2's Barbarian Open Beta doesn't count).

I want to say that I am the best in the world @ Mortal Kombat II :p  I used to be able to beat the Arcade CPU on just 1 Credit, with every Character, and no one in my home town could beat me.

Out of all the Giant Bomb Main Staff, I have met Vinny and Brad in real life.  I have also seen Ryan riding the SF Muni back in the day during his GameSpot days, but didn't really make the effort to say "Hi" to him.  I saw Jeff play live in Midnight Brown, at Peir 29's GameSpot Event, back in 2006 i believe.

Work-wise, I am a Software Developer and Data Center/Network Engineer.  At the Company I'm with right now, I am writing the Installation Programs.  2 of these creates/update MS SQL Databases at install-time.  Currently, I'm upgrading our Data Center with Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V.

The game that I'm most looking forward to, in the near future, is Street Fighter IV!  I made it quite far at GameSpot's Ultimate Street Fighter Showdown Tournament and also kicked some major ass at SFC 2009.  I've played with such Street Fighter pros such as Andry from Shoryuken.com (http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/23393).  I have pre-ordered both the Collector's Edition of Street Fighter IV and the Tournament Edition of the Mad Catz FightStick!!  I seriously cannot wait!
