    "If my life story were a game, it would be a cross between (a game from before 2000) and (a game from 2000 or later)...

    Game from before 2000 – Blast Chamber – because it turns upside down in a blink it’s hard confusing unpredictable and not all that fun…
    Game from after 2000 – DCUO free account – Only 2 chars (me and my wife) doesn’t ever allow me to have any money or stuff.
    "Most people know me as a (check all that apply):

    Artist, Lifelong Gamer
    When it comes to my game-making career, I'm:

    a newbie (no game experience… yet!)
    Kinds of games I’m best known for making (or want to be known for making someday!): (check all that apply)

    Social games, MMOs, Alternate reality games, PC Games – single player, PC Games – multiplayer, Console Games, Art and Experimental games, Card games, Educational games, Health games, Marketing and Promotional games
    Will Collaborate For:

    Creative Fulfillment and Fun, Free Food, Experience and Mentorship, Money, Big Money, A Chance at a Nobel Prize
    Anything else you want to say about the kinds of projects or people or organizations you’d like to work with?

    I want to reboot my life and start a career in games, I’ll do anything as long as I can do it.
    I am willing to relocate anywhere in the world, I really don’t wanna stay where I am, the sky is falling here.
    Skills and Superpowers: (What abilities would you bring to a collaboration?)

    Super Healing gameplay (Conceptualize gameplay systems that are at the same fun and challenging enough to transform a game with a bored theme in some fun game time);
    Extreme keen matching skills (The ability to know who would be the perfect artist to base a game world on their art and who would be the best animator for that kind of art and match other stuff in to trow it all in and came up with a nice game soup!);
    Blank Honesty (I don’t pretend to able to do something I can’t and end up screwing stuff because I was afraid to admit my flaws, I can identify what I can and cannot do in order to bring someone to the project who can fill my blanks);
    Being Nice (I am a nice guy and get along with anyone, I’m easy to talk to and always listen and respect what everyone has to say);
    Time breaker game passion (When I was kid my friends mocked me saying I would play 25 hours a day just in the morning, now that I am a grown up imagine what I can do…).
    3 games I’ve played that changed my life:

    Double Dragon, Tekken 3, DC Universe Online.

    Double Dragon for NES – my first game, got me addicted, still play it from time to time;
    Tekken 3 – Made me realize that I was really good at games, it wasn’t just an hobby, I was actually better than everyone I knew.
    DCUO – First MMORPG I play for real, I tried others in the past, but they were either expensive or I couldn’t play much at the time, now with DCUO I finally get the feeling of playing a MMORPG, it’s awesome to make friends and feels good to help noobs the same way someone helped us when we started, plus I love comics and super heroes, it’s like being 7 years old again and dream that I’ll be a hero when I grow up, finnaly achived that goal!
