I just found this site and found it really interesting and thought "Hey why not?!".

So here is a little about me.  I am 24 from Canada and am currently working as a Project Manager for a "Digital Consultation and Production boutique" (IE we design web based applications, tools, interactives and never websites, but always end up doing websites…) 

In the past I have been quite passionate about video games, especially in terms of viewing them as a narrative or even a form of art in some cases.  When I was studying Arts Management (which is more focused on the traditional arts) I always managed to twist an assignment and turn it into something about video games or comics.  These days however I just play games when I manage to have some time.  

I usually play PC games and I have an irrational resentment against consoles (just as much as I resent the MAC).  I view it as the dark side but don't worry it is just a personal preference of mine and I don't judge people regarding it.  Its just like how I don't judge people for loving GLEE.  ;)  I am usually not that strong with my opinions anyway since I do occasionally play the 360 and if I have a craving to game I might grab a friend's MAC if that's the only thing that's lying around.

Some of my favourite games include the Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind, Fallout Series and Counter-Strike.  These days I usually casually play Steam Games including TF2, L4D2 and CS:S.  I just finished Portal II and am chipping away at Dragon Age II and Test Drive Unlimited II right now.

Other things I enjoy include graphic novels (Vertigo mostly), fantasy/sci-fi horror of most mediums, thinking about the zombie apocalypse and writting short stories.  I played a little of DnD 4E and loved it but its find to find a group of people who will commit to it.  On a side note I recently started playing hockey in a rec league and am having lots of fun with it.  I am also just getting into Soft Ball as well.

Anyways, I'll end this ramble because its getting a bit late for me.  I look forward to getting to know you fine ladies and friends of the community!

Cheers,

Aly

Thanks for the welcome, Coolgame.

When you refer to the art of acting in video games are you referring to the voice acting?  In most I almost cringe to hear it to be honest however there are a few notable exceptions which do have pretty good voice acting.

Sure you can add me to your steam friends list.  Add in RedQueen84.

Yup that is me!  That's my nickname there, but redqueen84 is my actual steamid.
