Summary:

Avid gamer. I work a lot with following the trends and the direction of the industry for my own interests and part of my career for a software distribution company.

Focused primarily around the PC, I spent time in my past with development and design and since have not made much headway or spent much time in that realm. Hope to step back into it as my interests once again rise.

Interests:

I enjoy most things that send those pulses through the skull. The things that make your brain meat tingle and twitch when it's thought provoking. This is the way we learn, this is the way we adapt, this is how we are creative.

I like thinking games, puzzle games, role playing games, and games that provoke emotion like drama or horror genres. On the flip side I seem to enjoy explosions, guns, fast animation and loud noises. For these reasons I like first person shooters, straight to the point spontaneous danger and violence, or tactical depends on how it's done. I also enjoy a good real time strategy game, so long as the mechanics are complex enough where you have to think and it's not just masses of units flying at each other. Which is only enjoyable when accompanied by a good soundtrack and a cool alcoholic beverage.

Speaking of soundtracks, I also enjoy music. For the most part I listen to anything. My preferred genres would be classical, rock or metal, and synth which leads mostly into old school videogame music and up to modern synth and industrial. I can dabble on the guitar myself and a bit of keyboards if my brain tugs me that way.

Goal:

Hope to get back into programming like I used to. I will be starting small projects through the year and inevitably end up pushing some concepts that have been mulling in my brain.
My goal is to get back on track and into a game based project in either development or design.
