Thought I might introduce myself better heheh I'm 22 currently, living in the UK and I generally go by my username (aka nickname irl) I've been into video games for many years, I have played thousands of video games.. so chances are I'll know all the cool retro gems like Live-A-Live, Shadow Hearts, etc. Very fond of the SNES, Genesis/Megadrive and PS1 eras! I also know quite a bit of PS2 and Gamecube stuff, and things here and there about Xbox 360. I have some knowledge on Amiga and old Arcade beat-em-ups, Shmups, etc. Also pretty big into Steam, I even upgraded to a gaming PC last year. When I'm not playing games in my free time I draw and paint digitally. I started getting serious with it in 2013, before that I just drew for fun without really studying. Around that time I put my art online under a tumblr blog, and made a few art friends here and there. I still update my blog and stuff, but I still see it as more of a hobby than anything professional. I use Skype and Steam a lot and I livestream my art here and there. Though once I get XCX I'm sure I'll be spending most of my free time on there

Hiya! Nice to meet you! We're the same age and both from Europe! I'd be interested in seeing some of your art if you'd like to show it. I actually had a period last year when I tried to get into drawing together with a friend. Sadly I never really put in the work I needed to, and when University kicked in I didn't really have the time to continue. :/ Anyway, I hope we can play together soon! *keeps checking my mailbox to see if Xenoblade X has arrived yet*

It's nice to have closer timezones I was gonna link my blog but the theme is acting up.. RIP scrolling, I need to fix that!
But I mainly draw monster guys, fan art and alternate designs which is basically taking fan art and making it into monsters and stuff lol

You can call me Jeannie. I play female characters in video games where you can choose because that's how I view myself, even though other people look at me different.
Video Games are really my only hobby. I used to finish games before I bought new ones, but life has forced me to be more of a collector, I still plan to finish my backlog though. Besides video games, I love anime though. Just not enough time.'
I'm 30 years old and it's taken me this long to figure out who I am and try not to hide things that go against the perceived norm, now I just need the outside to match. If anyone has any questions, Private Messages would be preferred and I have no problem telling you if you're out of line. But I try to answer questions if I can.

Hello Hali.
We're cut from a similar cloth in some respects it seems. I'm 37 so I suppose that makes me a bit of a gaming OAP, lol. I have tourettes syndrome. I like art and animation. I am in an amateur dramatics class and I used to be a wrestler (albeit small time, lol)
I used to lose myself in the art of many games during my school and collage years. In a weird way the progress of video game visuals inspired my artwork.
There's a lot of people here I hope to meet on Xenoblade (and maybe other games). My Wii U id is stufasa. I thought I'd mention it here because I think there's going to be a lot of people in XenoX's Miiverse tomorrow, lol.
Hope to see you lot in Mira soon, lol.

Aw I know that feeling Jeannie, I often buy games and err... never play them.. mainly with so many sales, I feel overwhelmed. The more choices you have, the less you want to settle down with one game heh. I'm happy to hear you've figured out who you are/who you want to be, imo it's never too late to search for yourself and I hope everything keeps getting better for you. Same here stufa! I have a lot to thank in video games, my interest in monsters came from Resident Evil, Soul Calibur II (Nightmare's sword and arm), etc.. those things looked awesome to me and really creative I guess I enjoy the horror genre a lot, especially in video games, which makes me wish there were more horror-rpg games. Haha yes it's going to be so busy today, I have to pick up my game in a few hours D: damn waiting lol
