Tim MacKenzie

I'm a graduate student, focusing in Japanese-English Translation. My main goal is to work in the video game industry one day, and hopefully be the guy who translates and localizes games from Japan I've been with the COE crew for several years after being recruited from the the Nsider forums back in the day. I liked sharing my opinion on games and became one of the Nsider Sages over time. I've loved working with the COE crew throughout the whole trip. And I'm the resident Mega Man fanboy, so I can bug the guys that way. XD

As far as gaming goes, I'm an all-around kind of guy. I love to collect games and systems, and finally have access to all the modern consoles. I have a particular affinity for fighting games (Street Fighter, BlazBlue, Smash Bros, etc), RPGs, and action games although I do dabble in others when they interest me. I'd say my weakest points would be in first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. I do like them, but man am I awful at those kinds of games...I keep trying though. I keep up with the Mega Man and Poke'mon games like a rabid fiend, but I also try to get niche games and things that just look interesting. Some of my all-time favorite games include: Chrono Trigger, Mega Man X, Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4, Resident Evil 4, Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy IV and VI, Okami, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee, etc.
