Hi, I'm Pickle. I have deep and profound loves of stories and games, as well as a hobby for organizing and optimizing them using technology; mostly web development. My first video game was Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the Gameboy Color, but I would say I didn't get swept up into it until I played Pokemon: Fire Red on the Gameboy Advance. Since then I've been somewhat compulsively playing anything and every I can get my hands on. As I've gotten older I've found so many more avenues of and dimensions to games than I ever could have imagined when it was just me and my Blastoise. I hope my any ramblings and strange opinions you can find on this site can help you expand your view on games and how they can affect people.
