   Well, since you've chosen to view my bio, one can only assume that you're interested in learning all about me. There really isn't all that much tell, but I guess I can start with the basic personal info first. I'm 22, born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I grew up rooting for the Buckeyes, and then went on to graduate from Ohio State with a bachelor's degree in English. Through an odd twist of fate (dun dun dunnnnnn), I then started taking classes in information technology, and decided to devote most of my time to that pursuit.

   As for my RPG history... I started on the NES with Zelda, and then moved on to bigger and better things (aka the SNES). The SNES is really where I fell in love with the genre, starting with Final Fantasy 6 (or 3 as it was called back then), Final Fantasy 4 (*cough* 2 *cough*), Chrono Trigger, Earthbound and the Lufia series. While I loved most of the RPGs I played on the SNES, I feel that the golden era of RPGs didn't really hit until the PS1, when my favorite RPG series started up, Suikoden. If you haven't played it, I highly recommend it (except for 4 and tactics... though if you're a completionist like me, you'll be compelled to play them anyway).

   As for my purpose here at RPGamer, it's simple. I'm here to bring you the news. That's right, I'm like the Brian Williams of RPGamer, or if you prefer, you can call me Ted Koppel. This is Jeffrey Nathan, signing out. You can email me at Althalus@rpgamer.com I'll have it posted in a sig pic like the others, once I get around to having a sig pic.
