Just joined the forum a week or so ago, and I have been enjoying it so far. Pleasure to meet all of you! 
About me: I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of my life and I currently work at home, where I reside with my wife and 2 dogs. I have been gaming since the Commodore 64 and NES era, for well over 20 years, and have a strong passion for gaming, web development, graphics design, and technology. For the past 5 years or so I have been a leader and web admin for the Seriousless Gaming Community, a primarily PlayStation-based group of casual gamers. I own multiple PS3's, a PS4, a 360 elite, and a Wii. While I do enjoy some of the xbox exclusives and don't consider myself a fanboy, my preference for the games and the hardware has always been for PlayStation.
I mostly use my PC for graphics design and web stuff these days, but I used to be big into PC gaming back when the original Half-Life and CounterStrike first came out (I actually played the early betas with the creators). I was also very into the MMO scene during the early MMO days of Everquest, Asheron's Call, DAoC, early-WoW, etc and had beta tested almost every MMO released prior to WoW. I also used to build gaming PCs around that time and became very familiar with computer hardware as well as home theater related equipment and sciences.
I also enjoy streaming video games, but rarely find time to have a set schedule for it. This is largely due to the fact that once I start, I tend to keep the stream going for hours and hours, sometimes much longer than I should and it tends to interfere with other things I should be doing. I used to stream through my capture card on PC with the PS3, but the software and the setup always took like 20 minutes or more just to start, so once I got it going I didn't want to stop. Along came PS4 with it's awesome streaming features, and now I am so spoiled to how easy it is, I'm not sure I could ever go back to streaming through my desktop again. One memorable stream was when I had over 100 viewers watching me play Just Dance 2014 last Superbowl Sunday, that was a lot of fun, lol.
Anyway, enough about me. Thanks for reading if you did, and hope to make some longtime gaming friends here! Peace.
