Hi the names’ Jae, I’m 28 and living in the good old city of Sydney. I grew up in the sunny city of Perth but work and love had me migrating to a life of congested traffic and snobby party goers. I believe in order to live a great life you need to have a balance of work, exercise, food and something you truly enjoy. Games are a great past time. I’m open to most game genres even fond of quirky games such as puzzlers, JRPGs, Fighters, Rhythm & music games. Being a fitness instructor was something I wanted to do to challenge myself, getting up on stage in front of 50 odd gym members and screaming down a headset to get them to pump out 10 more push ups is great motivation. Believe it or not teaching has its own euphoria and drug like rushes. After spending the better part of the day stuck in an office, having meetings after meetings, I look forward to hitting the gym and turning fat peoples into …uh…less fat peoples. Other interest are that I like anime, such as Bleach, my favourite trash TV program is Keeping up with the Kardashians and I enjoy the lifestyle I live which includes hanging out with fellow Sydney AGers Yug and Luke.
What is your most memorable gaming experience?
Working at the games section in Kmart during the PS2 launch morning and having a total of 2 people wanting to buy the machine. I was one of them.
Where would you be found on a typical Friday night?
First the gym then usually drinks at a local watering hole in my lovely hood, Surry Hills.
What is your favourite movie?
Bring it on
What is your favourite food?
Dumplings! Asian style of course. I tried German dumplings and yeah I'll pass.
What is your favourite drink?
Ever since I tried an Ameretto Sour I can't get past one anymore.
What are your favourite 5 games of all time, and why?
- Metroid Prime : After playing countless first person shooters, that were all about shooting to kill, this was a breath of fresh air. Graphics blew me away with this one.
- Final Fantasy VII : my first 3D role playing game that got me hooked on RPGs, I spent over 100 hours perfecting and mastering all my materia and beating all the Weapons.
- Legend of Zelda: Link to the past : One of the earliest ‘hardcore’ games I played and thoroughly enjoyed. First time I ever felt like I was using my brain to solve puzzles in a game.
- Space Channel 5 : You play a sassy pink haired TV reporter in space, you get to get your groove on with MJ the king of pop! What more could a boy ask for?
- Dune : My very first exposure to the genre of real time strategy. Harvesting to get money which buys you things to conquer the enemy with. Screw Starcraft 2 gimme Dune next gen.
