So, I don't know how to fill these in usually, so I found a thread where I could steal a ready made template from and made it about me, so as I said I would do (meant to do this sooner, but been working too hard), here is my introduction.
Name: Chris
Age: 26
Gaming since...: I can remember.
Gaming heritage: Thinking about this actually makes me realise how much I was spoiled as a kid. First computer I remember having was a Commodore 64 before I upgraded to a NES. From there I ended up with both a Mega Drive and SNES (so I never had to pick between a speedy hedgehog and a fat plumber). From that point I skipped the (original) Playstation, although my brother had one, and went for the Nintendo 64 which spawned some of my all time favourites (Ocarina of Time is still to this day, amazing). After that point, I got a PS2, Gamecube and Xbox (although the 2 latter consoles didn't last long before I sold them on). Since then it's been Xbox 360 all the way (although I did own a Wii for a brief period when they were first released). I also have a selection of handheld devices including a PSP (original model) and the 3DS.
My favourite type of game: I don't really have a single favourite type, I'm a mixed bag sort of gamer (if you saw my collection, you'd see why).
You will mostly find me playing: Recently it would have been Skyrim, but since yesterday, I'm working my way through UFC Undisputed 3, so until Mass Effect 3 is released, I'll go with UFC.
I will hump the living shite out of you on: Probably nothing, I'm an average gamer if I'm honest, my best bet would probably be UFC 3 since I'm getting a head start.
You will best me on: Fighting games, racing games, first person shooters, FIFA, Madden (those Americans must play it non-stop) and probably most other games you can think of.
As a gamer, I am: As sad as it sounds, one of the people who is annoyed with all games developers now having a tendency to focus on multiplayer modes while single player campaigns get shorter and just seem uninspired. I don't mind playing online against friends or occasionally jumping into a game of Battlefield, but it'd be nice if we could get some thought for people who don't want to get annoyed by kids who shouldn't be playing the games in the first place.
Anything else you want to know that isn't already there, feel free to ask, I might not answer, but it'll be fun finding out. Anyway, enough babbling on, I hope to be around as often as I remember and I'll try and be as productive as possible.
