I want to introduce myself to Infendo readers and staff.  My name is Rakim Reid and I am a new writer on Infendo. I am happy to have the opportunity to share the latest Nintendo-related news.

My first foray into video games was at the tender age of four. I played Super Mario Brothers on my cousin’s Nintendo Entertainment System. That game continues to frame my belief that all great games share one crucial characteristic: fun. And although SMB was, and still remains, fun, I haven’t beaten that game.

As I got older, I branched out and played action and role-playing games. Bayonetta and No More Heroes 2 are recent favorite action titles.  I don’t have a favorite RPG, but older Final Fantasy games, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic and a few other classics definitely make the list. Usually I game solo, but like playing a competitive match every so often. Nowadays you get find me curled up with my Nintendo 3DS playing Super Mario 3D Land.

Besides loving all things Nintendo, I currently live in Virginia, with my wife, where I attend a local university as a graduate student. I work most days in the human resource field and spend my downtime enjoying my hobbies. I like reading, traveling and writing — of course! I plan to pick up archery and bowling (again) soon to add to my hobby repertoire.

I hope you enjoyed my little introduction. I look forward to writing about Nintendo!
