Hey there! My names Mike. Basically I'm from the East Coast, USA, and have been a collector of neat things (beta copies, promo stuff, collectors stuff) of video games for a few years now. Along with this I'm (obviously) an avid gamer as well as, on the side, a programmer (mostly self taught) with knowledge of Java, C, C#, Vb.Net, HTML, PHP as well as Python. I'm in college and I've decided that I (hopefully) can go into game development for my future and realized that this site, along with my schooling can probably help me get there . Any way not sure what else to say but.... hey! Side Note: For those curious, I mostly play Xbox 360 and PC games, but I do have a PS3 along with my original xbox, Dreamcast, NES and PS2 to play other games when I'm in the mood
