•{ How long have you been a videogamer? }•

I've been a gamer for 15 years,homegrown old school. My favorite system? Ah that is a tough one, I guess the GBA? I adored Golden Sun as a kid, I really like puzzles so that one hit a chord with me, I grew up on the SneS/Mega Drive/Saturn/GBA myself. My friends had the other stuff so I'd play on that with them, I went and got an N64 and GameCube later on. I did love playing a lot of Sega/Nintendo games growing up. I mainly have a PC for RTS's I like to play.

•{ How did you hear about the John Lucas thread? }•

I don’t quite remember where I heard about this from, it did pop up on youtube after though. I was interested in how JL was framing his argument, when Gamerace came it was fun to see them debate further as he was poking around looking for holes or lapses in logic so he could shatter his argument. Then more and more people started chiming in and JL was able to consistently and effectively dismantle their proposed outlooks .

Even though he is clearly using the facts in a manner that it supports his overall focused viewpoint they are still yet, just that,facts. They all are the variant intricacies in the puzzle that is the gaming industry. Alot of the people he argues with sure do have funny language though., with their constant rhetoric about hyperbole and such. Along with their over rather simplified deconstructions of JL's viewpoint. The whole situation reads a bit like an amusing narrative to me though. ( I did read every post in the thread after all, it'd have to keep me entertained enough to do that).

I've not said much beyond the few times I decided to straight talk some sense into some of the debates going on, mainly due to the fact that gaming itself is an extremely turbulent industry, its not a kind one, not one so easy to get into either.
