Username Origin
GERARDAMO is a play on Geronimo. It has become infamous for being terribly mispronounced (GERARDAMO's personal favorite is Gerarararararonamorkee) He has only once shouted GERARDAMOOOOOO as though her were jumping off a cliff once, when he was jumping from a 75 foot zipline

Background
GERARDAMO was more or less born playing video games. According to his parents, his fourth word was "Seeeega," as he played his Sega Genesis quite often as a child, and that jingle started most of the games he played. This may be the cause of his Sega fanboy-ness. After this, his parents decided that when he started school, he would only be allowed to play on weekends, and this rule is just starting to wear off, finally allowing him more time to explore games. The first game series he became absorbed into was Pokemon. Pokemon Blue Version was the first game he actually bought with his own money for his first gen Game Boy has grandmother gave him. He managed to catch 148 Pokemon before his sister's friend accidentally erased his file. GERARDAMO mostly plays arcade games now, namely rhythm and fighting games. His two favorite series are DanceManiaX and Soul Calibur. He is also very much a Sega fanboy, and will buy almost any game made by Sonic Team, and still uses Sega consoles regularly. He doesn't much care for many 3D games, save Japanese RPG's and a very few select games. He strongly opposes FPS games (Save Portal), as the first game he played in the first person was Lego Island. He hopes that one day he will forget these haunting memories and be able to enjoy more FPS's some day.GERARDAMO began listening to OLR around Chirstmas of 2006 when he unfortunately received his very first Apple product, the iPod. He wanted a gaming podcast. He remembered hearing commercials on DDR Freak Radio a long time ago and decided that anything with Orange Lounge in it could not be bad. He liked it so much that he decided to start joining in chat, though he says little as he has a tendency to attempt multitasking on his computer. Since he lives on the east coast and is still a student, staying up until after midnight on a school night is frowned upon by others, and he can listen to only part A from September to May.

Current Activity as a OLR listener
GERARDAMO does not say much in chat. He does not post regularly in the forums. However, he makes sure that he doesn't miss an episode, and has gone through an 8 hour marathon when he didn't have access to the internet for a month to catch up.

Favorite Games
UmJammer Lammy ''While PaRappa The Rapper was his first music game ever, at 8 years old, GERARDAMO got much more enjoyment out of UmJammer Lammy. It holds a special place in his heart, and he still plays this regularly.''

NiGHTS into dreams... ''The first time GERARDAMO played this was when he had the chicken pox at around age 5. He spent many hours playing this game as he couldn't do anything else, and it has grown to be his favorite game by Sonic Team''

Tales of Symphonia ''This game managed to steal all of the summer of 2004... or 2005, he doesn't remember, and it was the first RPG he attempted to get 100% on. (He didn't)''

Soul Calibur II ''This is the first and only game GERARDAMO ever completed with a 100%. He was very upset when he lost his GameCube memory card specifically for this reason, as it is the only GameCube game he still regularly plays, though not so much now that he has no memory card. He has a tendency to win repeatedly at the GameCube version of the game, and gets very violent when he loses. Because he grew accustomed to the GameCube controls, he has a hard time playing it with PlayStation or XBOX controllers, but does fine at the arcade.

DanceManiaX ''Not to be confused with the 2nd Mix, the original DanceManiaX has My Sharona. GERARDAMO first played this in a Canadian arcade near Niagra Falls, and goes out of his way to find and play this game whenever he can. It proves to be quite difficult has not many arcades in his area have this game, or the 1st mix.

Team Buddies ''The first game he ever played in an all-nighter with his little siter. Though it was much more fun as an over-tired 9 year old, this game still provides him with hours of entertainment because of it's quirky sense of humor, and swearing little pills.''

Space Channel 5 ''This is simply because of his love of PaRappa/UmJammer Lammy. However, he is apparently sexually attracted to Ulala.''

Original Sonic The Hedgehog Series Sonic 2 was his first game ever, and who doesn't like this series?

Dance Dance Revolution 7th Mix DDRMAX2 ''The first mix he played. However, it was around the end of this mix's life. By the time he made it to Heavy, all of the arcades he went to switched to Extreme. 7th Mix still has his favorite songs''
