Greetings comrades.

As some of you may have read from DrunkPandas post (thanks for the warm welcome by the by), I am the new associate editor for Loot-Ninja. Go me!

I’m not the best at introductions so I’ll jump right in and tell a little about myself. I’ve been an avid gamer for roughly twenty-three years now, things have slowed a touch since I’ve discovered women and alcohol (luckily I found a girl who enjoys a spirited round or two of Street Fighter II Turbo and shots of Jameson-word), but I still fit time in quite well I think. Fighting games, shooters and RPGs are my top choices for genres (though fighting games seem to have less and less to offer in the way of ingenuity nowadays and far too much focus on graphics, but anyways).

I enjoy long walks on a beach and belly dancing……………and Monty Python.

I have all of the systems from my childhood (and the childhood of others- viva garage sales!). I still dust off my ColecoVision, Intellevision, Wonderswan etc, etc from time to time and have multiples of systems still in the original packaging so that one day I can buy the new 2027 model Ferrari (hopefully I can still use my legs by then). Call me a geek if you wish, but I just might take a length or two of your small intestines if you do. Just sayin is all.

Speaking of which.

One thing you will likely notice while reading my articles is that I tend to branch out heavily and change the subject frequently, but trust me when I say that at the end it will all come together nicely and you will be humored, well informed, and have some sort of strange, contorted expression on your face. And know that the thought of that brings a huge smile to mine. Because you will look stupid.

Well, lets get on with it then shall we?
