Hello Wikia world! I'm essentially creating this because I think there's a bug in the Wikia code that's doesn't allow me to follow my favorite Wikia pages unless I create a profile page.

How I Became a Gamer?
It started innocently enough with a Nintendo Wii. My husband gave me crap because I didn't really play it for the first year I owned it, but after discovering games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, that changed very quickly! Rock Band 3 was my complete downfall there. (And the LEGO games, especially the LEGO Batman games, since I'm a fan of comics, too.)

The husband and I decided to get an Xbox 360 as a joint Christmas present to ourselves in 2012. He thought I would never really play it. To my own surprised, I found I couldn't get enough of it. Games like "Batman: Arkham City" and "Assassin's Creed III" sucked me in early, but it was "Mass Effect" (the entire trilogy) that took every moment of my life that wasn't already schedule for work or one of our side projects (a LEGO hobby/side business, real estate investing, a huge comic hobby... the list goes on.)

After "Mass Effect", I took a quick side detour into "Bioshock Infinite" before getting sucked into "Borderlands 2". I still have a lot to accomplish with my beloved Zero (I'm only level 29!), but Handsome Jack is defeated, so I put it down for a short break.

What I'm Currently Playing...
I've been looking for that next "Mass Effect" or "Borderlands 2" experience.

I still haven't finished "AC3" or either of the Batman games, so I will likely go back to those at some point, especially since I can actually PLAY now!

My husband has been playing "Fallout 3" for the past month or two, since he has been a Fallout fan since the beginning. I have to admit to being sucked into that world and playing "armchair quartback" to his Lone Wanderer. I surprised him with "New Vegas" this weekend, and started playing that one myself. Pretty fun!

There are a ton of games that I picked up as XBox Live Gold specials that I've been trying out to see if I like... "Hitman: Absolution", "Deus Ex: Human Revolution", "Max Payne 3", "Dishonored"... just to name a few.

I loved "Dishonored" and will go back and play that one again so I can try to beat it on the "Path of Shadows". (I was definitely on the "Path of Blood" the first time through!) I'm curious how it changes with less killing.

I just started playing "Deus Ex" this week and really dig it. Very entralling story, neat character. I look forward to playing through it more.

I picked "Arkham City" back up, too, but got sick of getting wailed on by Soloman Grundy's huge steel balls of fire while completely sucking at using the fast explosive gel to try and nail those annoying power cells, so I moved on again. (You know, as much as I love playing a Batman game, because the Bat-Family is among my favorite in comics and the game is gorgeous... it seriously gets repetitive after a while! "Yay! Another room where I get to hide behind weakened walls and grapple to gargoyles! Whee!")

Oh, I almost forgot. I did pick up "Saints Row IV" the week it came out. VERY ODD of me to do. I rarely buy games when they're released, especially not games that I've never played before... however after reading all of the hype and playing around with the character creator, it looked like an irreverant good time... and it WAS an irreverant good time, with a kick ass soundtrack. I think my President it level 28 and I'm just at the point where I'm rescuing Matt Miller. BUT... BIG BUT... That game is buggy as all get out, and I HATE the Matt Miller quest. HATE IT. I get that it is a homage to TRON (cute!), but I can't ride motorcycles to save my life, so I spent 2 hours dying over and over and over again. That was 2 weeks ago and I haven't picked it up since. It doesn't help that there's not strategy guide and the Wikia is just starting to fill up with tips. I originally got stuck hacking stores (turned out it was my controller, not me). Then I got stuck trying to do the stupid Fraud thing. (I mean, it's hilarious, don't get me wrong, but it shouldn't be required to continue with a quest!) And trying to escape the ship... UGH! I don't know how many times I heard, "This is my jam!!" before... CRASH! and I had to start all over again. There are parts of that game that are some infuriating, but it is somehow very addicting. Even now, knowing how much I hate that TRON motorcycle level, I still want to play it. I'm giving it some time and hoping for some code patches. Maybe then I won't have to hear the same crap about Oleg every time I boot up my game!

OK, enough for now.
