:trying a new kind of intro, hope no one minds:

Hello

I've been a fan of Portal since I got it for [Insert holiday name here] in 2007 - it was the first Valve game I played actually. Portal 2 was the first ever game I preordered though I didn't do it on Steam. I bought the Orange box in 2009 (meaning I have 2 copies of Portal - it was worth it for the other stuff though). I haven't finished Portal 1 either, I'm stuck at some point after the test chambers but I'll eventually figure it out. I have finished the singleplayer mode of Portal 2 - epic!

I've been playing around with Hammer since 2008 or 2009 I think, though I haven't actually finished any maps yet, I definitely understand what I'm doing.

Generally the level of technology and graphics in games doesn't matter to me as long as the game is fun. I tend to like games best when they're different from the norm, regardless of the genre. The games I play most are Portal (obviously), Descent (a series which started in 1995 and was put on hold after 2000), Sonic the Hedgehog (though I don't have any consoles to play most of the games on ), Spore, and TrackMania.

[Insert statement that I am a musician here]

[Insert my musician name: "Vertigo Fox" here]

The name 'Kaiaatsel' comes from a Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel I'm co-writing with my brother. Kaia is a character I concepted, a human who's abducted by a time-traveling alien and arrives in the future as something... else. I like the sound of the name a lot and so I'm using it for myself more and more - including on my steam profile.

[Insert farewell here]

P.S. I had to sign up twice because the first time I didn't recieve the activation email. The account was called 'wazzazzle' and it was under the email adress 'alterfox@live.ca'. If an admin or mod could delete that duplicate account it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
