I graduated college in late 1999, so my last two semesters there were taking the hard classes for my major.  But I also really hit my stride at The Dallas Morning News, writing big name game reviews for titles like Donkey Kong 64 and Pac-Man World, and getting a front page tagline for those two reviews as well!  The newspaper even flew me home from college one weekend so I could host a booth of theirs at a small convention in Dallas.  It seemed almost certain I knew where I'd be working when I graduated.  Also, that Christmas I got a Dreamcast.

If you really like Farm Together, you may want to check out Stardew Valley or one of the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games.

I wish I knew what was in your backlog so I could recommend something you could play.  Um, do you have Ys 8?  One of my brothers called Ys 8 "Jurassic Park: The JRPG."  So you might like that one.

Strikers was so much fun.  I think it's funny how they made the Mario characters a little more angrier and edgier.  One of SEGA's divisions made the Strikers games, as they did a soccer game of their own that was well received.  That's like how the Mario Baseball games were made by Namco, because Namco did the popular Family Stadium games (the first Family Stadium was brought to the US as R.B.I. Baseball).

I remember that Pocket Monsters article in Nintendo Power as well. That helped me know that Pokemon would be a big hit here once I saw how they were marketing it.  

I really liked Streets of Rage 4, probably more than I should have.  I enjoyed playing it single player and with my brother when he came over last.  Lots of neat characters, too.  Can you guess my favorites?

You know, a lot of it depends on luck, too.  And it's not always about what you know, but who you know.  That's why college is pretty useless nowadays.  Sometimes I get people asking me things like, "If you've been writing game reviews for so long, why aren't you more successful at it?"  Which royally pisses me off when people ask that, by the way.  But sometimes things just don't work out the way you want them to.  But I still write game reviews, if anything just to keep my foot in the door.  And I'm not the kind of person to give up on something and quit, even if I should.

I hear Switches are hard to find now.  Drill Land is also on Steam.

I'd watch a soap opera if Dig Dug was in it.

Shoot, nowadays I'm usually in bed by 9!  I'm getting old I guess.
