I worked in retail, currently working towards a major in 3D modeling/animation. In terms of games, I love RPGS and have been playing them since I was 5. Granted I couldn't read then, I did play Dragon Warrior for the NES. Mega Man 5's Gravity Man was the first boss I ever beat, and the first game I ever bought was Kirby's Adventure for the NES (Got it for ten dollars from Toys R Us). I've been hooked to games since. My favorite genres would have to be RPGS and action/adventure. Although I play just about anything (only ones I just about refuse to play are sports).
