About: Jason Hendricks
Hello everyone. I am Jason Hendricks. I am 30 years old which a few days ago, I realised makes me quite old in the eyes of gamers. I was born and Raised in the Bronx in New York City and now I reside in Brooklyn NY. I am a gamer through and through. I will try any games but my favorites would be 3rd person shooters, fighters, and certain sports games. This will vary from game to game though. If I am not playing video games or spending time with my family, I will probably be partaking in some musical activity. Most likely playing my guitar. Don't let my last name fool you...I can carry a tune, but Im not that good.
My gamertag is Exmeth

Kinect Me!
Xbox 360 with Kinect; You will either nod your head in acceptance or cringe at the notion. There seems to be no mid-ground, it’s just like the old cliché goes, love it or hate it. Monetarily, the peripheral is by no means a failure. Microsoft has reported 10 million units shipped as of March 9th, 2011. It was able to push 8 million of those units in its first 60 days of release which is a guinness world record. Kinect has quite a few accolades already but with monster sales comes a monster amount of consumers to keep interested.
