Decided to check out the site when I read the Gamasutra article about a new ECA group centered on gaming. I've been an avid gamer since I was about 8 years old. My love for strategy gaming comes from my early youth (11-12) when I represented the only human opponent available for my dad when he would want to play Carriers at War or War in the South Pacific. Really though, I love just about every genre out there...though my bank account often wishes that I didn't. :D
Right now I'm living near Edmonton, Alberta though I'm kind of hoping to move to another province sometime in the future.
