I haven't blogged in quite some time, though I've been meaning to start doing it again... I used to be pretty good about generating updates, but you know how life is - the busier you get, the more that these kinds of things slip through your mind.
For those who don't know me, I'm the current leader of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band division. I've been in the PMS clan since September 2006, where I started off as a member of the DOA4 division. I attended a few events as a DOA4 player - Buy.com, the CGS combine and DID. Shortly after the CGS combine (and I mean, really shortly after) AthenaTwin asked if I would be willing to play Guitar Hero 2 in the World Series of Video Games. I was getting pretty good at the game, so I accepted, and since then I've been slowly building up the division. It wasn't always easy, since Guitar Hero is such a solo game - it took me approaching a lot of people and actually waiting until Rock Band came out to really get our division going. We're an awesome group now and I couldn't ask for a better division. ^__^
Outside of the clan, I work 40 hours a week as an engineer for Intel. My job primarily involves testing games and coming up with new ways to do game tests. It's challenging and fun, and I get to stay on the forefront of consumer technology - it's safe to say that I love my job.
I play all sorts of games - while GH and RB are my main focus because of the clan, I also play all other kinds of games when I can find the time - RPG, FPS, RTS, MMO - you name it, I've played it. My current obsession is Left 4 Dead - I imagine I'll be talking about all of my other random gaming obsessions in this blog over time, so stay tuned...
Besides work and gaming, I also love watching movies and tv shows of all kinds - I'm especially a sucker for animation. I'm also a big Red Sox fan, and in my spare time I generally like to get out and see what crazy things are going on in the city of San Francisco. I also really love food - cooking, eating, reading about it and sometimes even writing about it. It's my strongest passion outside of gaming, so if there are any other foodies out there, be sure to say hi!
That's a pretty quick overview of me - I really love meeting new people, so stop by my profile or blog and leave comments/messages!

You put up a big ol blog, and everyone comments on the food haha.
I'm going to say yay intel!
(Quick everyone go buy their products so there's more need for wedge's division to expand)
Ok ok, i'll mention the food thing - you do seem to know all the good food places within like...a 10 mile radius of your house. Pretty impressive considering there must be hundreds.
Much <3 to all of the RB / GH division - you guys are all awesome!Posted 11-25-2008 at 06:33 PM by Rip

I love our RB/GH family...you guys make me laugh until my stomach hurts...and I never met a more gracious and generous bunch.
And you don't know how many times I use you as an example of how awesome our clan is; we have an Intel Engineer that kicks butt in RB/GH!
