New Members: Introduce Yourself!

Hello fellow Oregonian!

Isn't it great not paying sales tax on games? :3

(Thanks for the welcome)

Hi, I forgot to introduce myself when I registered on the forum. My name is Hans, I'm 36 years old and I am Belgian but have moved to Sweden. I'm a guide dog trainer by profession and love 'all things werewolf' (hence the nick). I'm not a big-time gamer and mainly got into the PS/PS2 scene because they have a good number of games featuring wolves and werewolves. Otherwise, I'm heavily into films, music and motorcycles.

I'm Matt, from Pennsylvania. I'm sixteen, and I like playing and listening to music, and playing video games. Well, and girls, of course, but that goes without saying. Sorry, gay people. Anyways, I found this site when I bought my Sega Dreamcast and was looking for information on it and its games. I'm mostly a Nintendo gamer (Dreamcast, and I used to have a PS2 (the kind with the disc tray), but then said tray got snapped off by my younger brother not three days after setting it up (I pretty much said 'fuck it', and made a vow never to have a console with that kind of tray in my house ever)). Other than my DC, I have a Game Boy Color, GBA SP, Nintendo DS lite, 3DS, Nintendo 64, and Wii. I don't have a big collection or anything, mostly becasue I don't really collect and I'm severely limited by space and money. I get old consoles because I'm paranoid about digital software and how it can easily be deleted or removed from an online shop without warning, and I want to play games the way they were made to be played. Wow, that was long.

Hi guys and gals, I am Jasper from the Philippines. I've been lurking on this site since 2010 and I think it's time that I sign-up and join the crowd. I am 23 years old and I am a fan of retro gaming (NES era forward). My childhood is kinda perfect because I was able to play outside and then play video games when it was raining or nighttime together with my cousins. I am very much knowledgeable in the NES / Famicom era and has a large library of it. Unfortunately, most of the cartridges are dead as they became the home of cockroaches. I own PS1 and PS2, both are still alive today. My Gameboy was stolen, I sold my PSP, our Famicom (OLDER THAN ME) disintegrated into molecules due to old age. My current gen gaming console is the PS Vita. Now, let's talk retroooooww...

welcome to the forum Vita Mayo. MABUHAY!

Howdy, Y'all.

My name is Scott. I'm recently 26 years old, and I've been gaming since I can even remember, which is probably around 4 or 5 years old, and wouldn't trade it for anything else :: )! I've at least played every console that had a US release since the NES and am constantly seeking new gaming experiences. My gaming interests are very strongly anchored in the 16 & 32 bit eras, which is where I still spend most of my time, but have been branching forward and backwards more & more.

I stumbled onto racketboy when I was researching older consoles and was never really able to leave. I find a lot of the personal insight intriguing, and it's very nice to see a group of people who share my interests, but in their own way, so I finally decided to join the discussions. I look forward to contributing and will see you all around the forums!
