Feel free to take your time to introduce yourselves. Don't worry, we won't bite. I'm Peter. I'm 24 years old and from the Bronx. I'm a movie buff and a gamer. I always like to travel, and making new friends. I have all consoles, but I prefer Nintendo consoles the most.

This wasn't here when I joined, so here is a late intro
My name is Michelle. I'm head of PR for S.O.S.Gamers and actually got the ball rolling on our affiliation with streetpass NYC. I'm 25 years old, and I love video games. My top picks are: Metroid, Half-life, Fallout, Okami, Street fighter and Super smash bros. I also cosplay in my free time. I have about 5 costumes and another 2 in progress.

Hello, my name is Leroy Sylva. I'm a guy who wants to become a great video game designer in the future. My relationship with video games started around 1997, when I played GoldenEye 007 on the N64 for the very first time. My favorite console is the Nintendo 64 and my favorite portable is the Nintendo DS. I'm a very Nintendo-centric gamer, but eventually I dropped all dummy traits to respect all companies and their products. I write in my spare time, and also draw a lot -- mostly anime-inspired material. Most of my online material is either at iNintendo (where I am a staff reviewer) or my blog, aptly titled "A Slice of Life With Sylverstone Khandr". As for the pseudonym, it came to be around 2004, with the name "Sylverstone" being a fusion of the second-most frequented misspelling of my last name and a nearby community in my former Jamaican residence, named Silverstone. Khandr was added after Second Life forced to add a last name to my avatar. Too bad I got bored of the game less than a week after. I hope to have my own gaming studio one day, which is mainly why Sylver's Edge exists today. I tend to be more creative than logical, so programming is the bane of my existence for the time being. Hope that's enough for you to digest a while. ;D

Hey, my name is Harrison, 15 years old, and a proud resident of Bensonhurst. My hobbies are biking, walking in Manhattan with no purpose, anime, and of course, handheld gaming! As for dreams for the future...
I'll think of something eventually...
Generally, I'll be lurking around, but it's a pleasure to meet you all anyway.

Greetings, comrades. My name is Geoff. I currently live in Westbury, Long Island, New York, and during the school year I go to Pace University as a film student. I play video games, lurk the internets, watch movies and anime and stuff on Netflix, and generally stare at an LCD screen all day.
In particular, I'm a huge Nintendo fan. My favorite series are Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Mother, Fire Emblem, and Smash Bros. Other favorite game (series) include Castlevania, Ace Attorney, Okami, and Kingdom Hearts. I frequent Streetpass NYC's events whenever I can. So yeah, I'll be around...

Hello, everyone! My name is Hal. I couldn't think of a good username to use here so I'm using my first name. I'm a 28 year old single guy from The Bronx and work at JFK Airport. I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember, dating back to when I had a commodore and Atari, but my life changed forever when in 1989, I received an NES from my parents for my 6th birthday. I own all systems Nintendo ever released (except for the Virtual Boy) and still have them all. While I do own a 360 and PS3, I've always been partial to Nintendo and they have always been my favorite.
Besides playing video games, I'm also a huge wrestling fan. I follow WWE and ROH and I travel to WrestleMania every year. Also a big Yankees fan.
I'm always busy with my job and family which often gets in the way of me attending StreetPass and Nintendo World events. Yesterday was my first StreetPass event and I really enjoyed it and meeting everyone. Hopefully, I'll be able to attend more in the future.

My name is ShinyGirafarig. I became a gamer back in the NES days thanks to my brother wanting a person to play with. I also played with the SNES but I never became an actual gamer until the PS1 days (did not own an N64). Then I got hooked while my brother got disinterested in games.
My favorite genre is platformers, both 2d and 3d. My favorite is the Donkey Kong Country series and I am satisfied with Retro's take on the series.
I also sew up plushies of my favorite video game characters who would most likely never get official plush toys as I like collecting them.

Name's Arturo, from NJ
I have all 3 current consoles and portables. I predominantly play on the 360. I have my PS3 for exclusives mostly but I usually double up on MP games and get them for both systems so that I can play with friends who only have either the PS3 or 360.
My Wii gets Zelda and Mario love and some other good games like Okami, and Smash Bros. but other then that I use it to play all the Virtual Console games I've purchased.
I primarily play shooter games, and fighting games but will play any fun, worthwhile game that piques my interest. I love the classics, and am excited with the remakes Nintendo is pushing out for the 3DS. Zelda, and Starfox announcements alone made my 3DS purchase worthwhile.
Current console games i'm playing: Super SF4 - PS3, 360 Battlefield BC2 - PS3, 360 CoD: Blops - 360
3DS: Ocarina of Time Dead or Alive Super SF4
A little non-gaming information about me.... I was born in Peru, I work for at&t, I like cooking, I like travelling abroad once a year, I love Asian food, especially Thai, and Vietnamese, I like buying all the latest and greatest gadgets (phone's especially), and am a Yankees, and Giants fan.
Good to meet all of you, Arturo.

Hi everybody, my name is Nick I'm 28 years old from Jersey City, NJ. I'm a handheld gamer at heart I love being able to play on the go! I do like the other consoles you can play at home on your tv too but I'd rather play a handheld!
I am going to pick up a few 3DS titles this week still debating which ones.
