What is this operationsurvive.com website you're trying to push in your signature? What kind of internet marketing do you exactly do?

Dear forum,

I am BakaTanuki and pleased to make your acquaintance. I discovered this site thanks to my recent Dreamcast purchase and browsing opinions on the games available for it. I have long been a fan of retro gaming, ever since being a young lad playing my brother's NES and SNES. Until recently, I had been pretty firm in my Nintendo roots; as a kid I can't exactly afford to keep up with multiplatforming. I bought the Wii on launch, but picked up a PS2 soon after. I couldn't resist Amazon's deal on the Dreamcast that I cam across.

My consoles are NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advance, N64, Gamecube, DS, PS2, Dreamcast, Wii, and some PC gaming when I need to play doujin shmups or Valve titles.

My favourite game series is The Legend of Zelda, but my favourite single game is Yoshi's Island. The last game I beat was Super Mario Land 2 and I am currently playing through bough Castle of Shikigami 1 and Mirror's Edge. Platformers are my genre of choice, but have really gotten into shmups recently. I'm still pretty terrible, but my skills are improving.

I shop regularly at Corpus Christi's Play Again Classic Video Games, I write for the unpopular http://insert-disc.com/, and I'm currently working on a print retro gaming fanzine.

Love,
Evan Krell

Hello, everyone at Racketboy. I am JokermanJohnny, a fan of this site, now turned member (if that makes any sense whatsoever...).Before I introduce myself, I wanted to give the website a big thank you for any and all questions I had before joining this site, such as setting up the Sega CD, finding cases for my loose games, and finding ways for my Saturn to play imports.

*Currently in college, trying to aim for an art major.
*Big RPG Guy. Main favorites are the SMT series, Final Fantasy IX, and Fire Emblem.
*Favorite console (thus far) is the SNES, with the Saturn and the Dreamcast a close 2nd and 3rd.
*Like to collect rare and imported video games (i.e. Saturn, SNES, Dreamcast)
*Love watching old movies, especially Gangs of New York
*Hope to make my own comic book someday.

I really look forward in having and I hope that you guys can answer whatever questions I have regarding video gaming.

*Love watching old movies, especially Gangs of New York

Do you mean the 1938 Gangs of New York, or the 2002 one? If 2002 is old, then I must be ancient.

It's just my own little website that I recently started to build. Operation Survive was originally a Quake clan I ran years and years ago. Instead of letting the domain go to waste I changed it to competitive gaming / retro gaming topics.

I work at Eyeflow Internet Marketing in Pittsburgh. We help medium sized businesses get more organic search engine traffic.

I think I should have phrased that differently. What I should have said was that I like to watch movies like Gangs of New York (the 2002 one), the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and V for Vendetta. The only movie I've seen so far that are considered "old" are Halloween, Friday the 13th, the original Star Wars trilogy, and Aliens.
