Most of What You Ought to Know About Daniel

Hello, I'm Daniel Vucurevich.

Known on PSN, Steam, and XBL as HerrDanielJames

The Bio:

The first console in my household was an NES, but it was not mine. Despite being a relatively spoiled only-child at the time, my parents didn't buy that beautiful grey-on-grey block of circuits for my benefit; no, they bought it so that they could compete with one another. My eventual love of gaming was an unintended side effect of their playful desire to destroy each other in the digital world.

In the early days I was usually watching games instead of playing them, and as a spectator I noticed that whether my folks were vying for the better score in Millipede or physically blocking each other’s shots in Duck Hunt, gaming was always for the sake of fun and never for the sake of the game itself. My parents wouldn’t continue to play a game after it had ceased to be enjoyable for both of them merely for the top score or to see if they could “break” a game’s mechanics. Games were entertainment, and were approached accordingly. If they were not having fun, they reasoned, what was the point of playing?

All You Need To Know About Ashton

Hi, I'm Ashton, welcome to the site, allow me to tell you about myself:

XBL: Aegis Ornus
PSN: AegisEverto

Gaming Background - I've been gaming for a while, about 20 years worth. My cousin, who was living with my mom and me when I was around the age of 2, had purchased a SNES and played it all the time. I remember sitting, watching her play and being in awe of all the colors and fun music, Super Mario World providing its fair share a good deal of the time. She finally got me involved by sitting me in her lap and putting my hands around the controller. Not much later, I was playing on my own and my experiences with gaming have been growing ever since!
     I still own the majority of all the systems I've accumulated over my adolescence which range from the days of the NES to the entire line-up of the current generation, my favorite still being the Sega Dreamcast. Growing up, I played a lot. I pretty much rented every game available at whatever Blockbuster or Hollywood Video was around. The games that I was always addicted to though were the ones that kicked my butt i.e. Abe's Oddysee, Megaman, Street Fighter 2, Starfox64. I played those games until I was the only one I knew that could do it better than anyone else. That being said, now my love of games falls into the category of what could be summed up as gameplay-fueled experiences.
