Before I get too far a head of myself, I would actually like to introduce...myself, the wordsmith of this blog:

22 years old, born and raised in Northern Virginia and currently residing in Manassas, VA. A gamer pretty much from birth (I came out with an NES controller in my hands), they've molded and shaped me into a know-it-all, deemed by my friends. Ranging across all major platforms, I give expert-quality advice on gaming as a whole. Still living at home with my parents Tim and Sonda, and my siblings Katie Rae and Logan, I pass the time by kicking ass in video games (leaving the name taking to Reggie), as well as offering his advice to those in need.
I earned my nickname "Nintendo Tim" from a friend of mine, who, at a party, suggested the name. As a collective, everyone agreed (thank you, Brandon Joyner). It grew on me, becoming my PSN name, Xbox Live GamerTag (formerly pacokorn77), Facebook name, and my license plate. It embodies the ideal that - depending on who you ask - I know all there is to know about video games or Nintendo. To me, it represents the amount of time that I pour into video games (I once took a week off of work to read all the incoming E3 06 news), becoming this know-it-all of video games. Of course, I don't do that now, I just read it at work (Newsstand for iPhone is a goddamned blessing).
I have a collective of over 300 games and nearly 20 systems, both home and handheld, spanning from NES all the way to 360. Last year, my collection was valued at roughly $10,000 (this includes everything gaming related, be it games, systems, accessories, etc.). Yes, I took into consideration that Perfect Dark: Zero Collector's Edition won't net $60 now (you'd probably get it for $20, if that), so I did the deductions. My most prized game? The Legend of Zelda for NES, complete (that means instruction booklet, map and box). Paid a little over $40 on eBay for it, but it was worth it.
Currently dating my girlfriend of nearly 2 years, I'm waiting for that opportunity that promises the monetary support to move out into my own home/town house/apartment. Working for American Security Programs in Washington, DC, I find the time during my days off, as well as the weekends, to play the games that I love. Come November 17, I'm screwed.
Keep it here for the good stuff on video games. I'm not trying to do anything special here, it's just my way of telling it how it is.
