Scott Smith

Hey look, it's that guy Scott Smith, I hear he was taught to play Super Mario Bros by his dad when he was nothing more than a bouncing baby brat. *cue Disney's Hercules reference* From the time he first picked up the controller, it might as well have been over for him, days of playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dragon Warrior left him terribly humorous and witty, while the weeks without sun left him....very pale. 


The story does get better, though, as Scott gets his N64 and discovers Smash Bros 64, his gaming is now accompanied by a roomful of youngsters and calls of "come at me, bro" and "Ness is the @#$% character ever, @#!$!", they were very profound.
Never since has there been a game that has caught his eye like Smash Bros, well, there was Disgaea, we don't talk about Disgaea, he doesn't like us mentioning Disgaea.  Something about a black pit of despair when he lost his save file, yada yada yada.  



What is he up to these days? He ended up going to school for business management somewhere in Illinois and I guess he married his high school sweet heart and they live together with a couple cats who party all night and nap all day. Scott has come out from under his rock and is now ready to share his love of gaming with you lovely people.
