If I sent you a friend request, it's probably because I liked a review you left for a game somewhere or you seem like a like-minded gamer. I want people on my friends list who frequently review and talk about games.

I've been gaming since childhood in the '70s. Arcade games, pinball, consoles, PC -- everything, I love it all and have easily played over 10,000 games in my life. Also have owned over 100 pinballs and 50 arcade machines and my love for the arcades is as strong as ever.

I play tons of old stuff and also tons of new. You can see some of this at:

RTS, Shmup, Beat 'Em Up, FPS, TBS and 4X, Metroidvania, Driving, City Builders, Dungeon Cralwers, Platformers, etc. I like most games. I'm not a big story-based gamer, but I'll check 'em out when they're weird and different.

**Please note I almost never look at chat. There are so many scammers out there and it's getting harder than ever to detect the scams. If you want to talk games, I'd prefer you just posted on my profile page. Thanks.
