Who Are You?
I'll start with the obvious: I really love video games. Started playing with the Atari 2600 then played almost every major video game console and now I play only on PC because you can play anything there and (Also, there are no exclusives anymore unless they are from Nintendo). Video games even helped learn English as I always tried to read the Instruction manual that came with the games. An advocate for piracy (when it actually makes sense) but also, I purchase games when it's really good or has dropped price and there are no bugs anymore and is complete. I'm a teacher for information technology teaching kids from 1st to 12th grade.
Also love the outdoors so going to the mountains or to the beach are a must at least twice per month, trying to stay healthy I also have passion for food, so when I travel, I try to get as much local food as I possibly can. On the sad portion of my life, I stopped playing video games because at some point I made really bad choices and well, had to make sure to go back on track (no, I didn't do drugs or crime, but still they were bad decisions). Also, I was married but breast cancer took her a few years ago, so to all the women here, please do check yourselves. Now thank God I'm in a really good place.
That's a little bit of me, and to finish, I love playing old games more than new ones, because you know, DEI and shit, but I tried to be well informed about new games, new tech, etc. because I will never stop loving video games.
Also, if you play old games on new TVs, try to use CRT shaders, specially HDR CRT shaders, if possible, they're awesome and will make you r games look good on modern TVs.

How did you hear about Side Scrollers?
YouTube recommended one livestream, and I didn't know what it was, but I saw Craig from Game Trailers and Screw Attack, so I decided to give it a shot and I really liked it, so I watch every day, either live or late but I never miss it.

What is your favorite video game of all time?
Really hard to pick just one. I'll give you my top 5 in no particular order: Metal Gear Solid (PS1) Symphony of the Night (PS1) Super Mario World (SNES) Super Mario 64 (N64) Final Fantasy 3 (SNES)

What video game have you put the most amount of hours in?
Either Oblivion or Skyrim or Final fantasy 12

What video game have you spent the most amount of money on?
I don't like spending too much money on games. I'm proud to say I was able to get all the Fallout games for $22 GOTY editions and also all the RE games for $30

Who is your favorite villain (in any video game)?
Dr Wily. He was hilarious.

Is there anything you would like to say to us (Side Scrollers)?
Why do I have to choose between Sony and PlayStation for Gaming companies? aren't they practically the same? lmao. As I've said it before, keep it normal, down to earth. I love to see how you guys have fun with everything, everything that happens, by mistake or otherwise, is very relatable, not trying to hide the imperfections or the problems that can arise at any moment is good to see, not because I'm glad to see you struggle, but because it shows how real and honest you are, just normal and innocent men and women!

Hello normal man. So a few days ago I put a poll asking about blabs picks and what I should do. Giving time most pick to Fridays/Mondays. So it will continue just only post on the beginning of Monday after the Fridays and after Monday shows. After doing some thinking I was post when I'm able too and if remember. This is best since you get still but I'm doing everyday. Maybe in the future I do more but 4 now just those 2. So starting this Friday I will resume it

Exactly! @SquareEnix should return to turn based @FinalFantasy . They changed it because they thought it's not appealing to younger audiences... Clair Obscur has a peak 121,422 player count, imagine if it had the Final Fantasy name attached to it. It would have surpassed Oblivion
