Well, for starters, my name is Michael. I've carried the handle "Washuaddict" since my early teens. Don't let the nickname fool you though. I tend to stay more on the serious side of conversations and discussions when the time calls for it. I've been a fan of games since I first picked up my father's '89 Game Boy and played Side Pocket and Hunt for the Red October. I have no artistic abilities or programming skills, but over the years I have learned that it takes much more than code and characters to make a hit game. Video gaming is an industry, a business that employs artists, writers, programmers, marketers, managers, and so much more. All of the people, from developers to promoters, work together to make a quality product for everyone to enjoy. I want to be a part of that team with a contribution in Network Administration and Network Security. If you had to categorize me, I'm a huge Sony fan, and avid RTS player. Am I really good at them, probably not, but it doesn't deter me from getting a round of Starcraft in with my friends. My aspiration while here in college is to make it into the Sony ranks and have my name in the credits just like everyone else. (Maybe not the Sony part, but you know what I mean.) I joined in search for knowledge and wisdom from those in the field. If they made it to their dream job, what is stopping me? =^^=
