Matt the Gamer

Hello! I grew up in New Jersey playing games with my older brother Dan (admin) and younger brother Scott. I played sports growing up and always loved playing video games. We had a Commodore 64 which my Dad use to play on (guess it's in the blood). I remember playing on the Atari when I was very young, followed by the explosion of popularity of Super Mario on Nintendo. I owned just about every console to date, and tried just about every genre of game. In 1996 I bought Diablo, which introduced me to the world of online gaming; big shock when it's not artificial intelligence against you! Dan and I would sneak out of bed on school nights, (I was 12) and kill random people for their ears. I was hooked and my addiction for online games was complete. My game history shows I played most of the major mmo games, but also try to play other genres. After college I worked in advertising, sales, trend analysis, and functional design. In 2005 Dan told me he wanted to make his vision (GameFriends) a reality and we embarked on the journey. I love video games and the internet, so GameFriends is a natural extension of my personal life. If you don't like video games you should uninstall the internet and/or stop lying to yourself :). Add me as a Friend!
