Getting personal

Seems like making blogs is the cool thing to do lately, and I thought to myself, "Well, Chary, you've got about 20 other things you should be doing. But writing up a blog post at 5AM seems like the best course of action." so here I am. Since this is a gaming site, I ought to talk about how I got into playing video games, no? It all started in the wild days of the late 1990s (Yikes. Can't believe that some people on this planet are 16 years old, and never experienced the previous century. Scary.) when I got a Sega Genesis, and a copy of Sonic 2. And...that's it. Pretty simple, really; that game was the catalyst as to why I'm here right now, and though it sounds awkward, it's kinda shaped my life, honestly.

Who knew one single game could lead to collection like this?!
Yes this is an excuse for me to brag. lol

Hmm, what else to talk about? ...You ever wanted to know what my favorite games are? No?! Then let me tell you anyways.

... ... ...

After much thought, I've narrowed it down to; Animal Crossing, Persona 4, Steins;Gate, and Tales of the Abyss. That should give everyone a decent idea of what my tastes are, in regards to games. Can you tell I'm a total weaboo? If I had to name my absolute favorite console of all time, it'd be the PC platform Gamecube (SNES and PS2 trailing close behind). My favorite handheld would be...the Vita. Yeah, you heard right. :yaypsp: Hey...wait a minute, that's a PSP! You're telling me we have a Wii U emoticon, but no Vita?! How dare the site neglect this! I AM OUTRAGED! And by outraged, I mean I frowned ever-so-slightly, and continued on my spiel. ahem

Let's see, as for hobbies, since a young age, I'd always loved writing, heck, I was the crazy kid in school who LIKED being assigned essays. These days, if you browse the 'temp, you'll see I write official reviews for the site! Being a part of the magstaff is really something I enjoy, and I can see my writing getting better by the day. I promise not to brag about how awesome my reviews are, hehe. :D

Whew! Look at all that rambling. Had we all been face-to-face, I probably wouldn't have said more than a single sentence. Talk about disconnect. If you managed to pay attention the whole way through a blog about a random internet stranger, good job! (and thanks!) ;)

Great post, t'was a nice read :)

Persona 4 is amazing. I never played the original, I got Golden for the Vita, because I had a lack of games and saw the ludicrous high scores it had on Metacritic, so I thought I might as well. Holy shit am I happy it did. It REALLY touched me. I was on the brink of tears when I finished it. It's a story I want everyone to experience. Just look how it affected my room!
Persona 4 is what got me into anime as well. Hadn't watched a single anime before I played P4G :D
Truly an amazing game.

Awesome shelves too. Nice Yosuke and Teddie figures :D
Also, who is this?

Holy cow! Your room is spectacular! And yes, Persona 4 is just so good, that it should be mandatory for all gamers to experience. The blurry figure there is Asuna (SAO)

I find PSN shitty all the time. I'm on an amazing 110/110 Mbps connection with an AC68U router, I get 12 MB/s on Steam, even on wifi. I'm lucky to get 1 MB/s on the Vita. Even with Ethernet on PS4 / PS3 it's still slow. I don't know what the fuck $ony are up to.

every game console has bad wifi, that is why they have ethernet ports :P

I only use wifi sincei cannot use ethernet. The router is too far away from my room.
