Pretty cool gaming history, the Megadrive + Sonic 2 bundle was one of the first game systems I got New was one of the best Xmas presents I ever got my grubby little child hands on. Nice spread of systems you own now too, I'm the same when it comes to gaming, if you wanna fanboy 1 system or company you are going to miss out on a whole load of great games, no idea why anyone would do that. You pick up anything cool in the Vita Easter sale? just getting moto gp 13 and guacamelee now.... altho lol if you noticed buy that on the ps3 and it's cheaper + gives you a vita license for the game too.

Anyways welcome to the site mate, if you've not been lurking for a bit I really advise you take one look at the rules on here, there is just 16 of them http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/forum-rules.php#content but it's safer to have a fast read since the moderators on here will crack down on some things pretty fast, especially from newer users, it does mean that you wont have to fear trolling or flaming on here tho, just feel free to use the report button if anyone is being an ass to you and then you can get back to posting in peace while the mods do their work on the offender :D

Happy postin

Thank you for the welcomes! I actually just gave the rules a quick skim so thanks a lot. I will do my best to not break any of the rules.

Ah there is always going to be a point when even the most kind natured poster gets into a heated argument with someone else and crosses the line :) You grew up on NES gaming tho, if you can take some of the unfair shit some NES games threw at you you should be more than fine here haha :D

Main thing to take from those rules tho, is just to never enter a "who can insult the other person more" competition, you see um a fair bit here and yeah once you "win" the other person will happily click report and you get sat out for 3 days to bask in your victory hehe, just saying that mods can't read every post so if someone is being rude to you just report um rather than be rude back, that way you bring the moderators attention to the thread and you can let them deal with the trouble maker.

Dear Lord this thread brings up my overly cheerful, terrible posting past.

I demand this is locked at once.

Your happy posting and various people threatening to kidnap you were good times... now you've become hardened by all the offers of candy and free rides in peoples internet vans.

I think i'm a newcomer but I DON'T KNOW ANYWHERE.

you don't know anywhere? or how to control the VOLUME OF YOUR VOICE.

I'm lost pls help. HOW'S THAT FOR VOLUME.

Well as the name suggests, I'm Heiny Reimes :).

After being a gamer since 1979/1980, I finally decided to go into the gamesindustry and use all my skills as a concepter and graphic artist to this new table. But if there is something I learned as an old illustrator for Hallmark, it is to go out and check what the people like and why. So this is kind of my mantra: "By gamers, for gamers and 'with' gamers".

So one things I've been doing is trying to mingle among other gamers, since that is something I am myself, but now with the aim for not just trying to find the games I like, but checking what everbody else likes.

I've always been doing alot of research as an informationjunk and do like to spread the things I know(why I am already crawling around this network for years, I just love statistics)... But I do like to put my money where my mouth is, so that's one of the reasons I finally made the big step and try being a part of it all on different fronts.

Hey all, Skidonti here.
I've been a lurker for at least a year, and I made an account back then for a couple of one off posts under another name, but I've since lost the account and now have decided to actually join the community with a new persona!

If you don't count the slew of (mediocre... okay pretty lame) children's PC games I played as a kid, the first real videogame I got was Super Smash Bros Melee upon obtaining a Gamecube in 2002, for a birthday. I think the compilation of so many franchises in one really captured my imagination and curiosity, and I've spent much of the following decade exploring the storied history of Nintendo that I was first exposed to there. Age of Empires was a huge part of my first steps into gaming as well. I'm working on building a bit more hardcore rep, if you will.

I primarily enjoy playing action adventure, strategy, and (mostly J)RPGs, And I somehow got really into this numbers game. I like learning about the business and understanding the hows and whys of this industry many just look to for fun. So I hope to see you around in discussion. :D
