Hey all! Well, what to say. I'll introduce myself as well.
I'm a member of the Player One Podcast forums, and to be honest, I never really heard about GAF until I joined the P1P forums around 2014. Never applied for a membership because wasn't feeling the vibes, but I did lurk a great deal due to some really great OT threads devoted to some of my favorite topics, such as the awesome thread that was everything Mario, or anything Nintendo related.
Despite Zelda being my favorite series since I was a kid, oddly enough I was a Sega kid growing up until my beloved Dreamcast was laid to rest, and then became an unabashed lover of everything Nintendo once the GameCube and GBA hit the scene. I just really love Nintendo.
Controversial opinion! The Sega Saturn was superior to the N64 and the PlayStation :D
As for my favorite game of all time? I think my avatar says enough ;)
Also, I'm not American so please excuse all future typos and iffy use of the language!
