About Save Point

First off, we are not a game news site. We will NOT have the latest and greatest game news info for you, so go to Kotaku and the millions of other game news websites for stuff like that. We are an ALL-AROUND AWESOME GAME REVIEWS + MORE SITE!
Save Point was created by me, Lisa aka Darth Chix0r, in February 2009 in order to provide myself with an outlet for expressing my amazingly awesome and never wrong opinions about certain video games. I say certain games because I only review games that I feel rather strongly about (whether they are insanely good or awesomely bad) and don't want this site to turn into me reviewing every horse sh*t game that somehow got funding and is now being sold to civilians. Because then I would just be sitting at home playing Wii games all day.
After beta testing the site, I soon developed a faithful crew of passionate gamers whom I very much appreciate but won't tell them that.
Hopefully the writing here at Save Point, involving maybe some sarcasm and the occasional real or made-up profanity, doesn't offend you. However, if it does offend you, I might not completely care, and this lack of caring may be offensive to you. I can't please everyone, so I will please one person. Me.
Save Point's main focus is on video games and always will be, unless we are offered millions upon millions of dollars to be about something else. Then we will absolutely sell out.
**ALSO: Please keep in mind that browsers piss me off more than that dog in Duck Hunt. This site works REALLY WELL with IE, KINDA OKAY with Firefox, and just plain WTF IS HAPPENING with Safari.**

About Lisa
The Urban Dictionary defines "Lisa" as:
...Which is just kinda weird because I don't attract guys named David. I attract guys named Joel. But the rest seems pretty spot on.

ANYWAY, the first controller I ever picked up was connected to a Super Nintendo which was projecting the classic mushroom-filled lands of Super Mario World from the cartridge to my tiny TV screen. I was around four years old and likely had drool running down my face and Dunk-A-Roos residue on my hands. I pushed the right arrow and Mario almost immediately plummeted into a river of boiling lava.
It was that precise moment that I realized my undying love for video games. And developed an eternal loathing for lava.

That's about it. I love games as both entertainment and as an artform. But mostly I just like to shoot stuff and watch it blow up.

About Joel
The Urban Dictionary's definition of "Joel":
...Pffh. I GUESS that SORT OF maybe describes Joel. How is his definiton so much better than mine...
 |
HI I'M JOEL AND I LIKE VIDEO GAMES, MOSTLY AWESOME BUT SOMETIMES SLIGHTLY RETARDED ONES, ACCORDING TO LISA, AND EVERYTHING SHE SAYS IS TRUE SO I GUESS SHE'S RIGHT. I ALSO LIKE BEER THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE URINE.
Well, I asked Joel to be part of this site and of course he said F#@% YES. But he still hasn't written his bio. So this one stays up for now. FOOEY ON HIM.

Joel...might kill me.
About Drew
The Urban Dictionary's definition of "Drew" (aka The Angry Nerd):
|
There's so many things wrong with that. I don't care, I'm very sarcastic, I'm NOT Andrew, and asshole tendencies are highly frequent. Also, aren't smart and intelligent the same damn thing?
I'm a twenty-something college student and the resident weeaboo. The first game I played, surprise surprise, was the original Super Mario Bros. I played occasionally for a number of years, never really calling myself a gamer, until a friend of mine got me a copy of a game called Final Fantasy 7. I never looked back. Cliché, I know, but screw you, I'm on a website.

About Stuart
I’m Stuart and video games helped save my life. Well, no, not really.
 |
I got my first console, an NES, to keep me still after fracturing my hip by falling off my parent’s bed after jumping on it. From there, I went all over the gambit, going from an NES to a Genesis to a N64 to all three of last generation’s consoles, preferring the PS2.
I’m a big old school fighter fan, loving Capcom, and I also enjoy a good RTS skirmish. Outside gaming, I’m really a nerd of all seasons, loving comics, computers, animation, podcasts, and amusement/theme parks. I may not know a lot, but I’ll spread very little knowledge around to everything, and that’s what the Internet’s all about.

About Mark
Mark...isn't really part of this site. He does not play video games and therefore cannot provide anything of value to Save Point.
 |
By Mark:
HI I'M MARK AND I DO NOT PLAY VIDEO GAMES. LISA IS A LYING WHORE AND IS NEVER RIGHT. I LIKE URINE THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE BEER.
I am more powerful than a 12th level Paladin and at least as popular as an Atari landfill. The last console I owned was an 8-bit Sega Genesis. Yeah. I did not have the 16-bit. Mine was the 8.

About Katana

SAVE POINT'S MASCOT:
KATANA THE GAMING KAT
Yes, Katana is our pixelated logo/mascot/thing inspired by the REAL Katana (left) who does IN FACT play games. Mostly Kitten Cannon.
Don't let the cute picture to the left fool you. She's a complete fatass. But we still like her. Except when she bites our feet and spills our beer.
