I'm new to this old stuff

Hello all, my name is Chris and I am one of the founders of the gaming podcast Press Play to Save. I've been into gaming my whole life, and the only thing that has changed is the amount of time I can commit to gaming (having gone from a college kid with little to no cares in the world, to a proffesional career, purchasing a house, and planning on starting a family in the next few years).

All of that out of the way, I stumbled across this site when doing some research on good gaming communities. I found myself comparing the old days to now and came to realize that online gaming and the people you come across has drastically changed. I used to have a large amount of friends that I played games with regularly online, who become some of my closest friends even though we had never met face to face. Now that the ship has sailed and those relationships dissipated, I find myself lacking in the greatest part of online gaming, the people. It seems the internet is full of malice, rage, and just plain trolls. I can't deny I don't get angry sometimes when a competitive game comes down to the wire, but I am certainly not like the majority of people out there who are gaming for the sole purpose of being malevolent and/or childish. 

I think I found a decent group of people here, and I hope we share some ideals. I look forward to swapping gamer tags, finding new friends, building relationships, and just having fun playing games with those who have the same taste of gaming as me. Also, if you enjoy video game podcasts, feel free to look ours up! Press Play to Save is about some dudes who have jobs, and families, and just want to joke around and play games without breaking the bank. We are always looking for constructive criticism, more active listeners, and even people who want to join us and help out with interviews, live streams, discussions, etc.

On behalf of Press Play to Save Podcast, Game on!

-Chris
