Here's a little bit about myself.

So originally, I had a nice little opinion blog all lined up for this week, but due to a few technical difficulties that may have to wait a week... or two, really. You like my new header? Anyways, so as an apology, here’s my official profile blog!

I noticed I haven’t done one of these before, with the exception of my first blog (which I’m not particularly proud of, so don’t look for it!). I guess now is better late than never, so here it goes:

About Me

Real Name: Bryce

Nicknames: Bryceypoo, Bryceykins, Brycebowl, Battlestriker, Battle

Age: 18

From: California (born and raised!)

Current Living Place: Irvine, California

Username: Battlestriker123

Reason Behind Username: I wanted to be as generic as possible. Looks like I succeeded.

Pet Peeves: Bad grammar. If your blog doesn't have good grammar, I don't care if you make good points; I won't read it.

Catchphrases: I'm from NorCal, so I do say "hecka" a lot...

My Gaming

Gaming Background: You can read my full gamer story here if you’d like (it’s over 4000 words!), but here’s the gist of it: I grew up with a Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Advance, and that slowly evolved into my profound love for Nintendo, particularly in the Wii and DS era.
