Hi, readers! My name’s Chris “ComradePants” Smith and I love gaming. I’ve been gaming since I was old enough to crawl and I’ve been loving every second of it. From the NES to the Xbox 360 and modern PC gaming and just about everything in between, I’ve dedicated a lot of my time to meticulously exploring every game I could get my mitts on. It seems that not a year went by that my birthday and Christmas lists weren’t dominated by the best of games; Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid and countless more.
I began my gaming history with the Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt double cartridge, just as a lot of people my age did. It was the first game I had and I loved it.However, as I grew, I found myself being drawn to darker, more horror oriented games: the Castlevania series on the NES, for example.
In fact, I’d say that my main passion and interest in gaming is horror and, more specifically, zombies. That’s not to say I don’t play anything else, but I consider horror my bread and butter and as much horror as I’ve played - Dead Space, Resident Evil, and the Penumbra games, among others - I know good horror when I see it.
Currently, I’m neck deep in the Dark Brotherhood questline as well as finding all of the Daedric quests throughout Tamriel. I’m proud to be able to claim a complete playthrough of The Suffering in one sitting on the hardest difficulty, and this is a feat I think few can match.
I look forward to sharing my opinions, reviews and the latest in gaming news during my tenure here, and I hope you look forward to it, too.
That's a great mugshot by the way. What's the secret to maintaining such an extreme level of salmon pink?
A steady diet of Flamingo sausage and Mountain Berry Kool-Aid I would expect.
The secret is actually a Bloody Mary on the hour and a Monster energy drink on the half. The ladies love it.
I see you're already accustomed to the Standard, GGX-approved diet.
Are there gamers who *don't* use caffeine in lieu of sleep? If so, I was unaware.
Well, I drink a ton of Mountain De..oh wait. Well, there's all that NOS I dri...oh wait. SOmetimes, I drink Iced cofe..oh wait.
Ugh, head hurts, need Red Bull to soothe my nerves..oh wait.
Now, now. Too much caffeine might be bad for you. Slow down a little... with booze.
I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my own body vibrating. I think Ill chase this Monster Absolute Zero down with a smooth iced coffee (with extra vanilla) from McDs...
In Art's case though, he's not exaggerating. He's just telling you what he drank yesterday afternoon.
