Hey everyone!
I am a 34 year old guy whose interest in gaming has been reborn just recently. Though I was never a hard core gamer, video games were a big part of my life growing up. I started playing on an Atari 800XL. I get very nostalgic when I think of my Missile Command cartridges, PacMan, Frogger and all the those games I used to load from cassettes or those big floppy disks. I also used my Atari to program in Basic...ah those were the times.
Once in a while i used the Commodore 64 (I loved to play Transformers, He-Man and Ghostbusters in it!!). After that, playing SNES at my friends' houses is a very nice memory too (Mario Bros, and Duck Hunt!!!).
Later PlayStation came along and I was an older teenager, busy finishing high school and trying to get into college, so I stopped playing as often...that is when I left gaming for more important matters. I played PS2 games here and there with my brother but was never very engaged. PC games like SimCity and Age of Empires attracted me more.
Now I have bought a PS3 with Move and I am playing LBP and will start God of War soon. I know I will never be a perfect gamer, because of time constraints, but it is a way of regaining that part of my youth and bringing back good memories. Plus, gaming now is an even more awesome experience.
I also would like to meet other like minded guys, and why not, other gay guys that are also into games. Not that I do not bond well with straight gamers, but there is an obvious better connection with other gay people when you are gay yourself.
Well, I hope to get accepted.
