*A wild Joe has appeared!* Joe has been playing video games practically all his life. Having started with McDonald's toys and, eventually, a Nintendo 64, he does not have so retro of memories as some, but not having any or much internet/gaming magazine exposure until his early teens did allow him to learn the same low-info-budget-minded game buying practices as people experienced before the wide use of the Internet. Now in his 20s, he is (trying to be) responsible, and have continued sticking to a budget, looking for the best deals, coupons, rewards programs, demos, and, perhaps most important, timing. A heart that is dually an analyst and poet and tied together with a bow of philosophy makes for a variety of topics. Along with games, geek culture such as anime, general sci-fi, comics, con-langing, and more make regular appearances in his life. He looks forward to exchanging ideas, feelings, and good vibes with all of you!
