Here is a thread to ask PSmonkey any questions you want (within reason)
I'll start.

PSM, what are you first gaming memories?

Umm.. I sadly don't remember. I've been into gamming for a very very long time. When I was really young my dad use to manage a bowling ally so me and my brother would nab the keys before the place opened on saturdays and go play arcades till opening (usualy got in a good 30 mins). I remember playing operation wolf and frogger alot.

Actualy over all most of my ealiest game memories would probably involve arcade games. Probably why they are still a big hobby of mine. I have a nice (sadly beaten up a bit) capcom impress japanese candy cab (ie sit down plastic aracade cabinet) and atm an atomiswave game board. Use to have tons of naomi stuff but sadly sold it off. I should have kept them.

I sadly don't remember any gamming moments before that. At the time I was still probably around 5-7 years old (i'm only 23 now).

Not to my knollage. I was born and raised in Southern California. I only moved to montreal for my first industry job.

My father is mostly italian and from new york. My mother is a mix of things (irish, pencilvanian dutch, english, etc) and from texas.

Connections and gba homebrew. My ex roommate and good friend worked for a small studio in montreal and notified me they were in need of gba coders. So I sent a resume and some of my work. I later met the CEO when he was in california on buisness. I was asked to do an event in a sports game for gba on contract. The contract went over well and they offered me a pernament job in montreal.

I had a few questions.
How did you learn to code?
What tips would you give to someone looking into coding?
And do you think with the new psx emulator and n64 that homebrew projects are somewhat pointless when a person can play a better game emulated?

Thanks
Mysteryman
