I stumbled across these forums today, although I have been to the site before a few times.
My name is Andy Saito. I was active in VG fandom back in 91-95 or so. Since then, not so much. In fact, not really at all. Those years were amazing, though. Almost like an alternate life - slaving away on issues of my 'zines, using a crappy handheld B&W scanner, photocopying at my Dad's office, coming home to a room full of thermal fax paper with the latest press releases, attending a couple CESs in Chicago, a couple CES Vegas, the first E3...and making lots of great friends. I edited Totally Super NES and GEA News, and was a part of the crew that started the short-lived (but well-intentioned) GEA - Gaming Enthusiasts of America.
It's really a shame that I didn't keep in touch with great people like Chris Johnston, Sean Pettibone, Tyron Rodriguez and Zach Meston (and many others...this is not a complete list!). I do regret that. However, going to college was a priority at the time, and it really took over.
Since then, I have not really been active at all in the VG world. I went to college, worked at Disney World, worked on Disney Cruise Lines, lived in the UK, and now I am back in the Toronto area as a call centre manager.
I have been married almost five years (to a wonderful British lass!), and we have a 14 month-old son.
I will do my best to frequent these forums as often as I can, especially to catch-up on old times.
