Hio. I've been a member for some months now I guess, but I lurked for longer before that. At first I just wanted to see the chart updates, but then I started reading some forum threads and was impressed with the overall level of competence in the discussions. And bored at work as I was, I figured eh what the hell, let's jump in.
I tend to avoid joining the discussion in threads concerning statistics, partly because I'm not an expert in the area (don't have the personal interest to be such) and don't know how much I could really contribute, and partly because I'm happy to just wait and see how the console wars turn out (I have my personal predictions, and they're informed ones, but I won't go into the numbers as deeply as others to explain them.)
I like posting about the state of the industry, game design principles, games as art, mature content in video-games, and other more general topics in gaming. That's my fortee. I also like crackin' wise about yo mamma.
Great site, ioi; it's good to see that you care about what you're doing here. The site looks better all the time. (I note you took the Beta label down and made the letters all pretty. Wheee!)
Glad to be a part of this. (You've attracted the swarm! Protect your crops or all your labors will be for naught!)

Prediction: Wii passes 360 in US between July - September 2008. (Wii supply will be the issue to watch, and barring any freak incidents between now and then as well.) - 6/5/08; Wow, came true even earlier. Wii is a monster.
