I'm a huge gamer. I first used a computer at age 3 and never looked back. (It's also how I got into being an IT tech.) It was a long time until I got my paws on console games (I literally bought my first game console for myself in college), so originally PC gaming was all I had - but I didn't suffer for it. (I cheated with emulators :P ) Anyway, here is just a shot of myself sitting with a slew of trinkets representing some much-loved games and game series that I've enjoyed over the years. This is by no means a complete list, but it hits some personal highlights. In fact, one of the depicted series is one of the things that first brought myself and my wife together ^.^

There are fifteen references in this picture. You get an invisible cookie if you can name all of the games or series represented ^.^

I'm pretty sure ten minutes after posting this I'm going to think of another game I should have represented in this picture. :P

EDIT - It actually took until that evening. I completely forgot to add in a Sonic ring :P
