About Me


Hello! I´ve been reading Dtoid for a while, but just recently I decided to join this amazing group!

A bit about myself... My name is Eduardo, I´m 28, Brazilian and living in Rio de Janeiro right now. I have a degree in Medicine and I´m taking Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging as my specialty.

I joined the gaming world when my dad gave me an Atari 2600 plus Pac-Man, River Raid and Pitfall. Well, after 20 years and 7 consoles later (Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, N64, PSone and PS2) I´m still playing those "children toys" ;)

This Christmas Santa is bringing me a Wii plus a bunch of games, even Gamecube ones!

And no, I don´t think the PC is a gaming machine at all (you can flame me as much as you want, Crysis fanboys!)

Hey guys (and gals)!

I must thanks Gametrailers for making me reach this wonderful blog (that interview with the guys from Kotaku, Destructoid and Joystiq) and recently the RetroforceGO! podcast, without a doubt the best feature here! Dyson, Chad, Topher and Colette are awesome!

I´ve already made a few posts, but never got the time to make a proper intro. Well, most of the stuff I was going to say is already written on my profile, so feel free to take a peek!



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

@Alael: I was gonna say "Don't suck" or something similar but the put-down on Dyson confirms that it's not going to happen soon so...

Alael, I won't tell the other guys about the private e-mail you sent me saying you like me the best. It's our little secret. :)
