Greetings all.

I started playing Metroid back when it came out for the NES, though to be honest, I didn't actually own the game until Metroid II: The Return of Samus came out. I'm a longtime fan of the series, especially the meta-story of the Metroid Universe. It was researching this 'verse that got me interested in this site.

I've played nearly every game in the series through to completion, and have more or less enjoyed them all. My favorite would have to be Super Metroid, however, because it combined stellar gameplay with fantastic atmosphere and music. For me, Super Metroid represents one of the most complete, whole gaming experiences of its time (or any time since).

Aside from Metroid, I'm a fairly faithful RPG gamer. I'm actually building a table-top roleplaying game (you know, the kind with all the funny twenty-sided dice) around the Metroid universe, and may post a link to it here as it develops.

I'll be lurking around sporatically, editing posts for content, sentence structure and grammar. Overall, I find the majority of articles here to be well written and researched. But spelling and capitalization count for quality, and that's an area where I can help out (I'm a Comparative Literature major with a focus in Creative Writing and English Rhetoric).
