Good evening.
My name is Jonathan Hamm, though most of you will know me better as AncientGuru. I am the purveyor of wisdom and insight, after all. I'm a 27 year old Game Designer with degrees in Computer Science and Game Arts & Design. I currently work without pay due to the poor economy, but hope to get some more gainful employment in the near future.
I also work as a stream op for Tom's webstream, as well as help admin these forums and I serve as the current stream treasurer.
I've been using computers since the days of the Apple IIe and Commodore 64 computers. Currently parked on a Vista 64 system running an Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz with 8GB DDR2 RAM, a 300 GB 10K RPM main drive, two NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTs in SLI, and Creative SB X-Fi sound card.
I'm a fan of all games, but I have very strong opinions on what is or is not good. I am not forgiving of flaws in a game that detract from my enjoyment, but I do enjoy games that are intentionally difficult. I play almost all types of games, but RPGs are my favorite. As people will have noticed from my involvement in Japan Nights, I am also an anime fan with a love for Mahou Shoujo.
Outside of that, I'm a huge fan of fantasy novels. I've got a very large collection of signed books and have read approximately 200 of them. I'm also a collector of video game music. My collection is quite extensive.
