Programming - First Assignment

As my first assignment I'm supposed to tell a little about me so besides my Facebook, Twitter and Google+ links in here. I'll tell my story. :)

It all begun 4 billion years ago...

I am a Brazilian Designer born in the 70's. My first contact with video games was with Pong.

A couple years later I got my first Atari 2600. It was love at first cartridge. Asteroids was the name of the first game that kept me awake for the whole night. And the first game that I've seen that when you reach 99.990 points the next thing you kill it turns to 00.000.

During the golden age of video games I decided that one day I would become a game designer.

During the eighties I had every major console from the NES to the Mega Drive. Having the SNES gave me the opportunity to play every the best RPGs from that time and most of them still figures as the best of all time like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI.

On the 90's I started a carrer as a Designer and at 99 I moved to the US to learn Web Design. In the 2000's I worked as a Web Designer for a lot of companies and the government in Brazil.


In 2005 I took a Game Design course but I thought it wasn't enough. After getting married I manage to convince my wife to momve to move to the UK. So I could study Game Design in Futureworks.

Because of my age I've got the nickname of "The Gray Beard" on the last month of class last year which I kinda like.
