Whazzup? I'll cut to the chase, I've been gaming since I was four, but I was sadly born pretty late into the golden years of gaming (1992, man I missed the best years. I'm a big SNES fan), but I had a neighbor friend who's big bro (like 10 years older than us) was a MAJOR gamer and had like every system (which helps me balance out my gaming now, as I play all the systems, even the ridiculously unknown ones). So even though I was born late my first game was Donkey Kong on the NES and I was addicted from then on. I'm a hardcore gamer who thinks gaming is an art form in its true form and I study for a career in that field daily for about 2 years now and many more years to come.
That being said I was born a nerd anyway since I picked a love for comic books and when I finally got introduced to manga and anime I was converted into an Otaku very quickly. This was probably due to the dead period Comic books were having and Anime was just exploding in America, but thankfully comic books are coming back so I read them a lot too.
And being raised in the ghettos of Cali may suck like :mad: and being a hardcore gamer and otaku at the same time is really tough on my already light wallet (not to mention how it pisses the hell outta my parents), but thanks to the ghettos I've actually managed to see a lot of culture mixed together in true American form.
Whoa, I rambled, well I do that a lot actually. I'm a very opinionated person so whenever it comes to something I love, I'm always talking about it...a lot. Seriously on my other forums (the only one I've been in till now with this one) I'm like in the 8000s now (after 3 years). Though finding forums with good communities is hard since I tend to only find kids my age or younger whom call themselves hardcore gamers but haven't really played anything above Halo. And I'm not one to have the FFVI get bagged since it doesn't have L33t cinematics so I always got death threats and crap. Though it seems that I've finally found another forum to talk in 'cause yesterday (if you didn't notice) I finally braved to join Atlus' forums and it has turned out to be pretty cool. Thanks for great community guys and I hope the best for Atlus, one of my favorite, "By the Gamers, for the Gamers, and of the Gamers", publishers ever! d(^-^)b
BTW even though I'm called TheLD by my friends, my buds usually shorten it to just LD
