To the few of you who will read this, hello! I'm Stephen, though in games, I usually go by Church. I figured I'd start this opening post by introducing myself a little bit. I'm 20 years old and a sophomore at Appalachian State University. I've been collecting video games for about four years now, and while it's not as impressive as most of the collections you might see posted somewhere like Racketboy's forums, I'm quite proud of what I've amassed.
Although I titled my blog "Last Gen Gaming," that title is not entirely accurate. I am a general gamer, playing everything from 1977's Atari 2600 to the Nintendo 3DS, barely even a year old. My primary focus, however, is older gaming (specifically 3rd and 4th generation), so that's why I chose the title I did. If any of you were hoping for a blog strictly about older games, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint; this is going to be a general gaming blog.
Having just gotten out of an almost three year long relationship in which my collection was largely put on the back burner (with the exception of a few addiction episodes), I've recently (just this past month) begun seeking out more gamers like me. I've become a relatively active poster on Racketboy's forums and have downloaded several gaming news applications for my phone. After being inspired by other posts, I made a post showing my collection on the Racketboy forums. My reason for starting this blog was similar inspiration (mainly backwardscompatibleblog.blogspot.com). This is actually my second gaming blog, but my first one was started during my junior and somewhat into my senior years of high school, and as such, it's a rather awkward period of time I'd rather just forget. I currently have it hidden, though if anyone expresses any interest in reading the dozen or so posts that I made there, I might restore it.
I don't know how often I'll be posting. It will really depend on how often something gaming-related happens to me that I feel like sharing. If anyone wants to look up my collection thread on Racketboy's forums, my username on there is ElkinFencer10. I've also got a Backloggery page that I always keep up to date with my gaming collection should anyone want to see what I have (www.backloggery.com/elkinfencer10). I think that's more or less all of the introducing I need to do. I'll try to post something actually interesting tomorrow or Friday. I'll also be uploading my Dashboard, so if anyone actually looks at it, it's probably horribly embarrassing and out of date; forgive me and grant me a little patience.
