Introduction Thread
Rodimus Primal:
While I've not encountered any of your arguements, I've been coming to this site and its forums for a while DLing covers. I just joined to see if there is any way I can contribute when possible. I love getting the raws when possible but the work you guys do is fantastic.

Hey guys,
I'm Dave and I've basically been browsing thecoverproject daily for 2 years now and just decided to finally join. (Don't worry I don't have any requests). I want to say that I love all of the hard work going into this project and I hope you guys continue.
A little bit about myself, I'm 30 and live in Ontario, Canada. I live with my girlfriend of 6 years and I have an honours degree in Business Commerce. I've been playing games since I was about 4 or 5 and have basically stuck with those consoles ever since. I don't have the time that I used to for playing games so I guess I have sort of changed over to a collector instead of a gamer. The only consoles that I am collecting for are the NES, SNES and the N64. That's about it in a nutshell as it relates to here so I just want to say I look forward to all the future work. Thanks

Hi everyone,
My name is Dan, I'm 29 and live near Chicago, IL. I've been playing games since I was 3 and semi-collecting all of my life(I loved keeping my boxes and manuals for all my games all my life. Sadly my parents got rid of some of it.)
I work as a Store Manager for GameStop which I know some of you may consider the devil, but hey, it pays the bills and I at least work with gaming in some fashion.
I tend to only collect things that interest me but the problem is a lot of stuff interests me. It ranges from NES/Master System to Xbox One/PS4 and everything inbetween. I also have a random collection of Super Famicom and JP N64 buried in there too. My prize possession is my CIB Earthbound which is actually the copy I got for Christmas in 1995(The scratch and sniff cards are still intact in my guide!)
I have FINALLY begun organizing the basement in my house and getting all of my stuff up out of boxes and onto shelves so you guys can expect to see some pictures soon. It's nothing as impressive as some of the stuff I've seen on here but I hope you guys will like it!

Hi guys
I'm Gareth, I'm 31 and from Newport in South Wales. I'm married and have a 1 year old son who I'm sure I'll pass on my video gaming addiction. I chose the name Gamer_Cymru as it's Welsh for Welsh Gamer. I'm a delivery driver by day and I'm also a researcher for the Football Manager game's created by Sport's Interactive.
My introduction to video games was via a BBC Micro computer and later on from my NES. I also had the use of my younger brother's Sega Master System. Somehow I skipped the next few years and returned to gaming with a PS1. After which I had a PS2, PS3 and a Wii. In total I now own a NES, N64, Wii, Nintendo DS, Master system, Mega Drive, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and a Commodore 64 (which doesn't work at the moment, Think it needs a new power supply)
I currently have a man-cave in the attic which is slowly filling up with my collection of video games. Since the birth of my son my collection habits have changed to a bargain hunter style which I find more enjoyable as I'm finding some really great games out there at a fraction of what I used to pay when the latest big game came out. At the moment my collection seems to be mostly Playstation 1,2 and 3 games with a small but growing selection of the other consoles. I look to get games that I'm going to enjoy playing, I dont buy games just to say I have them.
I found this site my I was looking at doing a custom cover for FIFA 13. Being a big Football fan ( I refuse to call it Soccer) and sick of seeing the same players on the cover I decided to make a cover with the team I support on it (Newport County). While the custom cover's of FIFA 13 and 14 I made weren't of the standard you guys have been doing it's got me the bug of creating custom covers for all of my games which I shall be starting in the near future.
Anyway its great to join you guys.
