Greetings and salutations. I see my partner Jarod Reisin (aka Streetrunner) beat me to the punch on introducing himself before me. It must be all the Cinnabons in my belly that slow me down. I digress. My name is Abe Zarran (aka Crioknight). We joined the ECA to support our rights as consumers and support the freedoms that ECA stands for. As Jarod stated this is the happy post and don't want to delve into "off-topic" political discussion. (*yet)
I am an avid reader of GP and interestingly enough when I'm asked where I see professional video gaming going, since we do publish a publication on the subject matter, I always end up pointing to politics in the U.S. for the gradual and sisyphean task of growing professional video gaming here stateside. It's grown so much everywhere else in the world. We'll be sure to drop in often, not just this one post and will be willing participants in all discussions possible.
Either way, nice to meet y'all and we'll be talking soon.
