Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to make your (virtual) acquaintance! I'm a long-time lurker / downloader, but I decided it was time to register and say hi!
So, my name's Matthew, and I'm a 27 year old gamer and lover of video game music. I know very, very little about music itself; I just know that I like how some of it sounds. So, any "reviews" I give are usually like "It sounds great!", but still I hope that helps!
For a little over 20 years, I've been playing video games on all kinds of consoles. I started when I was 5; my dad and I beat Super Mario Bros. for the first time, and the rest is history. At the same time, I acquired an appreciation of the music.
It's great to see a vibrant community such as this that brings back cool memories of games back-then and here-now with remixes that, often, make the song even more memorable. ...The fact that I reminisce so much already shows I'm getting old...
As far as my favorite games go, I'd have to say my most favorite "modern-time" game is Super Smash Bros. Brawl. My most favorite "back-then" game is a tie between Super Mario Bros. 3 (Sky World!) or Super Mario World. Pretty much, I'm a Nintendo fan, and I always will be.
Hmm... let's see... while I'm listening to said video game music, I enjoy playing around with a wide array of technologies to build web applications (ASP.NET, PHP, Python, Ruby, you name it), though I'm still at a hobbyist level. Of course, nothing I've built is really far beyond "Insert your name here: "... but unlike music, I can sort of understand some of that terminology. So, if you need someone to code an XHTML 1.0 (or HTML 5) front-end or something, I can try to help you!
That's a bit about me, so rather than turn this into a novel, I'll stop there. If you'd like to see volume 2, I'll have it up at a later time.
With that said, it's great to be here, and I hope to have some cool discussions and what not with everyone!
