Throughout my years, there have been a few key phrases that I’ve heard uttered in my presence that I feel describes me. “Andrew’s a guy.” “He likes games.” “He’s the Viceroy of Badassery.”
…Well, not so much the last one… Although it’d be awesome if someone did call me that. *nudge, nudge*
Anyways, I’m just your average gamer with a boner for the apocalypse. I’ve been gaming since I was 7 years old when I was given a Sega Genesis and Sonic 2. Ever since that fateful Christmas Day, I’ve been pretty much trying to keep up with the times, playing games on almost every system I could get my hands on (that damn TurboGrafx-16 still eludes me), with my favorite genres being more on the action side of things like FPS and RTS. That’s not to say that I don’t enjoy a good arcade racer, platformer or RPG.
I primarily play my Xbox 360 (achievements are my crack) and PS3, although I own a Wii, Xbox, PS2, PSP, DS, SNES, NES, Genesis, N64 and Dreamcast. I also have a pretty decent gaming computer.
I’ve written for a handful of gaming websites such as XGPGaming, FeverGaming and GotFrag.com’s console division, DPAD. Like Karen, I’m studying to become a journalist. Yet while some in the concentration are more focused on being the next Jake Hooker or Katie Couric (poor souls), I’ve wanted to be a game journalist since I decided to take up the profession. Ultimately, I want to wind up living in L.A. and writing for 1UP.
Currently Playing: MGS4 (PS3), Warhawk (PS3), Rock Band (360), COD4 (360), Burnout Paradise (360), Audiosurf (PC)
Random Fact: Gaming is just one of my hobbies. I also love to perform and have been involved in theatre, radio and have dabbled in fronting heavy metal cover bands.
