Hi All,

Just tuned in to the podcast for the first time a week or so ago: very entertaining. Looking forward to future episodes and catching up on some old ones.

Never know the best way to introduce myself, so please bear with me

A bit about me. Well, I'm most definitely in the MLG category (will be 40 in November) Originally from Glasgow, but have been living in Bournemouth for the past eight years with my wonderful long term partner. Unfortunately, she has almost no interest in games (apart from Tetris on my old Gameboy and Tapfish on her ipod), which means any time spent gaming is a "waste of time"!

One and a half jobs severely eats in to my game time. Being a night owl (and when real life isn't getting in the way), my usual game time is 11pm-2am, once the good lady has gone to bed. Happy for any of you to look out for me then Must say, my reflexes just aren't what they used to be and am constantly being handed my arse on a plate whenever I venture online :P I'm very much a casual gamer.

Gaming history. First console was the Atari 2600 when I was around 7-8. Since then, Sinclair Spectrum, NES, Master System, SNES, Mega Drive, Gamegear, Gameboy, Atari ST, Amiga 500, Atari Jaguar(!), Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, Playstation, PC, Gamecube, current platform of choice is the Xbox 360. Biggest regret was selling my Dreamcast

Favourite game. Couldn't possibly say, but for sure the best console ever, in my opinion, is the SNES. Super Mario World, Zelda:  Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Pilotwings, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, the list of truly classic games goes on… Dropped 350 quid on an imported US SNES with Super Street Fighter 2 and it was worth every penny.

Currently playing far too many games and not finishing any of them. Must try to be more disciplined… Limbo was a lovely few hours and money well spent. Will probably go back and try to finish Alan Wake, although I've just picked up Red Dead Redemption, so we'll see. Most looking forward to the 3DS. Hoping it will be out in time for my birthday, as I'm hoping to pick one up when I'm in the States.

When I'm not gaming, I try to get out sailing as much as possible. Also enjoy mountain biking, walking, music and food & drnk.

Well, that's probably more than you cared to know. Hope I can be as active as possible on the forums and looking forward to getting to know you all better.

Cheers!

Hey Starman, a great amount of gaming history dude, let me be the first to ask the obligatory "beverage and biscuit?"

How lame is my gamerscore!  Is this the lowest of any MLG member???

Loved it at the time, haven't seen it in years. And yeah, soundtrack was cool!
