Former 1upper. Not a blogger but a daily reader and semi-frequent commenter. Figured I'd give this place a shot since I need a game site to go to and prefer places more intimate than ign.
I've been playing games since the atari and the commodore 64 days. I've owned a NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, all three playstations, a gameboy, Vita, and 3DS.
Honestly, I play a little of everything. I like platformers, puzzle games, RPGs, shooters, adventure games (used to be a huge sierra and lucasarts fan), actions games, etc. If it looks fun, I'll give it a shot.
It’s hard to make a list like this, and I’m sure it’s very incomplete (and I haven’t played some of these in years), but…Super Metroid, Dark Souls, Persona 3&4, Super Mario Kart (the original), Megan Man 2, A link to the Past, Super Mario World, Pyschonauts, Jumpman, M.U.L.E., Archon, GoldenEye, Tony Hawk…
I’ll always have a great fondness for Adventure Games too, especially classic ones. I've owned, played, and enjoyed all of the Sierra and Lucasfilm/arts adventure games. My favorites were the Space Quest and King’s Quest Series, as well as Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island.
I'm not really choosy when it comes to genre, but I guess you could say my favorites are punk/post-punk, folk, old-school country, and alot of indie bands in general. Some of my all-time favorite bands are Neutral Milk Hotel, Mountain Goats, Social Distortion, 16 Horsepower, Jawbreaker, Johnny Cash, The Pogues, Radiohead, Jay Reatard, Dead Kennedys, Fugazi, Built to Spill, Archers of Loaf....
