About Us

What to say...

I'm Brandon and I'm one half of the webmasters at this site.

I reside in Ames, Iowa, and am attending Iowa State University at the moment.
This is my current schedule.
At ISU, I am studying computer science, I already know a fair amount of C++, Java, Javascript and Visual Basic. I hope to be much better at these things in the future.
My interests include computers, consoles, programming, and um...designing websites..I guess that's it.

As far as computers go, I built my own system. The specs as I write this are:

Lian-Li PC-60 Case
Gigabyte 7VRXP Rev 1.1 motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ cpu @ 2.009Ghz
512 MB PC2100 DDR RAM
ATi Radeon 9600SE Graphics Accelerator
Hercules Game Theater XP
Maxtor 40GB hard drive
Maxtor 80GB hard drive
Several fans, some of which glow blue:)
One shiny laser-cut fan grille

All very good and well, when you put it all together.

I like console gaming, way back to the classics like NES and SNES..Genesis..you know it all.
Consoles that are currently in my possesion include:

one ghetto Sega Genesis (Slightly melted and unattractive)
one Sega Dreamcast (beautiful piece of machinery)
one Sony Playstation (still works but not used much)
one Nintendo Game Boy Advance (it's been found!)
one Platinum Gamecube (shiny)

Not a full list of my desired console..just what I own:(

Well, now you know about me..we just have to wait until the other half of the team writes something...
We are STILL waiting..;)

Still waiting for what!? Silly fools! I wrote my half!

I am Michael and I am the other half of the webmasters at this site.

I live near La Porte City, IA. I am currently attending classes at Hamilton College in Cedar Falls... well, not right at this moment obviously.

My hobbies, interests, or whatever you want to call them, are spending time with friends, playing with my cats and dogs, games (PC & Console), computers, computer and game programming, and 3D mapping (making my own levels for 3D games like Half-Life and Serious Sam).

You don't want to know the specs on my computer at the moment. It's a decent computer, but a bit outdated. She can't quite handle some of the newest games.

Font's new system:

Evercase black case
ASUS A7N8X motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ cpu
512 MB PC2700 DDR RAM in DualDDR configuration
Ati Radeon 9500 Pro Graphics Accelerator
80GB Western Digital hard drive with 8MB cache

I have had numerous console gaming systems. I still have most of them. The ones I have had are NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, Playstation, Dreamcast, and Gamecube. I love games, but keep in mind that they are NOT my whole life. :) My favorite Nintendo game franchises are Zelda and Metroid. Mario and Starfox are good too. My favorite Gamecube games are The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

When I am done with education and such, I would like to be either a game programmer or a game level designer. I am currently undecided.
