From shooters to RPGs, from strategy titles to action adventure ones, if it delivers a quality experience, I'm more than wiling to try it out.

While I don't discriminate in regards to platforms, the PC will always occupy a special place in my heart because I grew up playing and experimenting on it.

When I'm not gaming, I like to hang out with friends or enjoy a good book, movie or TV show.

Personal motto: "Smile, tomorrow could be worse"
