I was born and bred in the suburban sprawl of New Jersey -- a photographer by tutelage and a web designer by trade, I have been a gamer girl ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I grew up around computers and was raised on a steady diet of Roberta Williams and LucasArts, before graduating to the likes of Dr. Mario and Sonic. (For some reason, consoles were a no-no, but handhelds were okay? Somebody please explain this crazy parent logic to me!) I don't have the finesse and hand-eye-coordination to play FPSs on anything other than noob difficulty, but what I can't play, I watch over the shoulder of my more dexterous fiance, ARMORY508. My current poison is RPGs, particularly those of the MMO-, S-, and J- varieties. Favorite pastimes include scouring the shelves of the nearest GameStop for used NIS titles, waiting for the next great MMO-that-isn't-Warcraft to come out, and watching eBay for old Shin Megami Tensei titles.
