About Me/Quick Q&A
I fell in love with video games at a very young age. Receiving an N64 as a kid was probably the greatest gift I ever got to own. But it took a long time for me to finally decide I wanted to learn about making them instead of just playing them. Thanks to TFS, I was able to harness the burning passion of gaming as a kid and use it as motivation to jump head-first into an industry I had long waited to join.
“First console you ever owned?” A neon-green Game Boy Color, with Pokemon Yellow
“Best console/Worst console you ever owned?” Best console would be N64 hands down, worst would be Sega Dreamcast.
“All-time favorite game?” Original Paper Mario for N64 would be my choice. Everything about it is just a lot of fun. Definitely my most-played game in my lifetime so far.
