Gaming has been a passion of mine for several years now. Pro gaming, I enjoy watching on MLGPro when it’s on, but it’s too fast paced for me. I enjoy the normal, casual, social gaming aspect and that is what has gotten me into the age of gaming communities.

• If there is not a end note of me either resigning or being kicked out, Then it is still an on-going project.*

As you can see, I've moved around quite often in the past year. For various reasons, both personal and mutual between the leaders of gaming communities. However, Gaming is something that will most likely always be in my life as a hobby. I hop online to socialize and play games. That's pretty much it.
