Well, as many of you probably have noticed - I'm a new face here and I haven't really introduced myself properly.
I am a 25 year old guy from Malmö, Sweden who's real name is Starfighter Johansson. I was a total video game-nerd as a kid because I didn't have so much friends and didn't have so many other interests. When I discovered the punk scene at 14 the only things I cared about were alcohol and records so I sold pretty much every game I had to afford booze and 7-inch vinyls. After a few years I picked up an insanely overprized NES for poops and giggles and became addicted again. Since then I have collected games with passion, first off I bought back all the great games I sold, then I went out on a hunt for every game I wanted as a kid but never could afford. And now I'm just getting games I stumble upon that seems good. I don't collect games for the collections sake, I just get games I really want and don't care about complete sets of a consoles game library etc. But the collection is still pretty big (and always growing) with 30+ consoles and 500+ games.
I don't have a favorite console (allthough I'm very fond of my PC Engine right now) but the genres I generally prefer are platform, survival horror, puzzle and shoot 'em up.
I play guitar, bass and have the basics down in drums and the music I play - and listen to - is still punk. The angry stuff, mostly with d-beat in it. I have a thing for body modifications such as piercings, tattoos, scarrification and what have you - allthough I don't have so much of it myself apart from seven tattoos and a few face piercings (I have had them on other places as well but they're all gone today). I hate sports in real life and also in most video games, and I really hate sci-fi. The closest I get to that genre is the occasional shooter with sci-fi-theme.
I live in an apartment with my girlfriend and we have been together now for almost four years and the stuff we have in common is video games (yaay), dreadlocks and a kind of anarchistic view on the world, I guess you could say. I don't have a job but I have a "praktik", the translator said "work experience" so it's like.. you know, I work for no pay and instead get experience. At a library - and I love it. I like to organize shelves and input codes into systems.
I probably sound really egocentric talking so much about myself but I have a break at work now and don't have much else to do.
Pictures of me, my collection and other random stuff is coming when I get home tonight.
You all seem to be cool (and somewhat kind
) persons so I'm looking forward to becoming an active part of your forum.

The games.. And some records, movies and what not. But mainly games.
