Alex Ang

I’m borned on the tiny island nation of Singapore.I’m married to a lovely wife who likes games and movies as well.

I’ve loved games ever since I could hold the gamepad. I have no preference and to all games,and I personally feel that when someone makes the effort to make a game, their effort should be respected. But of course this doesn’t mean I won’t complain and or bitch about it.

I grew up during the Atari 2600 Generation.I’ve played games like Pong , dragon fire , space ship etc etc all the way to Gears of war.Other than playing games I also enjoy collecting them. Though my collection is small right now I hope to one day rival that of my pals at the gamer’s square forums.It was this interest in
games which made me ended up being a 3D Artist. But however, my ultimate dream is to make 3D animated cartoons(be it feature film and or TV series).

I hope that by reading this little short summary of myself you can understand more about me. Lastly, I would like to thank my wife for being so understanding during crunch time.

Oh yes, and I’m fat….
