Raveness

Greetings fellow gaming enthusiasts, I'm Raveness, 25 years old and reside in Vancouver, BC. Originally from Aberdeen, Scotland, moved to Canada in 1998.

I am currently employed as a legal assistant at an injury and malpractice firm. I plan to continue my education at UBC in order to become a lawyer in the realm of civil law.

I'm a bit of a travel junkie, especially know with more available funds. I have been to such countries as Ireland, Italy, France, Greece, Romania, Japan, and the US extensively.

Co-run a fansite for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, also prominent figure within online Lovecraft community.

My life as a geeky gaming gal began with the Super Nintendo. I enjoyed the Super Mario's and the Legend of Zelda's, along with the Street Fighter's and the Metroid's. Sure I had the family's Apple IIE to play with, and passively enjoyed Lode Runner, Karateka, Secret Agent, but my true love affair with games began with the words "Guten Tag!".

Wolfenstein 3D really astounded me, and solidified gaming as a big hobby of mine. I enjoyed games throughout the 90's such as Myst, Diablo, Master of Orion, Age of Empires, Warcraft, Thief, Jedi Knight, Quake, various LucasArts adventures, and so on. The new millennium has kept me rolling, and I generally stick to the FPS, RPG, and Adventure genres.
