YJ is an IT Consultant living in Melbourne, Australia, and a gaming enthusiast.

I started gaming at age 6 and grew up enjoying just about every genre of gaming from adventure, FPS, RTS, RPG, racing, to turn based strategy.

In high school I lived the golden age of arcades and fighting games, playing the VS series, Street Fighter Alpha, 3rd Strike and King of Fighters. I had a brief but enjoyable run in the SF4 tournament scene, but I still like to dabble in fighting games occasionally. Nowadays I’m an avid stream monster and support the FGC by watching every online tournament I possibly can.

In 1999, I bought my first gaming console, the Dreamcast, and have owned every console since.

In 2002 I was introduced to the world of Gundam, which drew me in immediately with it’s deep storyline and mecha designs. Eventually I started collecting Gundam plastic models (or ‘Gunpla’) and building them.

These days main games are Super Robot Wars, Uncharted 3, Gundam Extreme VS, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and soon to be Street Fighter X Tekken.

What is Saint-ism?

With my diminishing spare time over the years, I decided to keep my interests alive by starting this blog. Using my old alias ‘Saint’, I added an ‘-ism’ to make it my own and something unique. Eventually I started posting news and articles for Gaming and Gundam which interested me, which lead Saint-ism to become the blog you see today.
