About

Awesome drawing of me by Jack Maverick!

Hi! My name is Ashley. I like video games, and to write and draw. Sometimes I combine the three. I have a huge knowledge of video game trivia and pop culture trivia in general, and I like to overanalyze things both for fun and for your entertainment.

I also like ducks and koala cookies.

My favorite game genres are puzzles, platformers, and scrolling shooters. I also really enjoy Mario Kart. But I don't like to limit myself, so I'll give anything a go at least once.

Even though my first console was an NES, I grew up mostly on the Genesis. Much of my childhood was spent playing Sonic 2 multiplayer by myself. I would switch the controller after every round and play both characters evenly so that it would always end in a tie.

I am a little shy, so you may have to prod me, but I would love to be your newest friend!

Also, ducks - Duck is now living with a zookeeper in Alabama who can supply him with a bigger swimming area than a bathtub. He is in a better place, free of Zappers and laughing dogs.

Confused? You probably haven't read Anthony's goodbye post.

But with the 700+ comments and all of the messages we recieved through email, the forums, Twitter, Facebook, and so on, I'm sure most of you already know that yesterday, Anthony Burch proposed to me and I said yes! This c-blog is an informal invitation to the "ceremony" (with both of us being non-religious, I'm not sure how ceremonial it will be), but first, I want to say my thanks to you all.

Like Anthony, I would not have any of the wonderful things I have right now if it were not for Niero, the rest of the Dtoid staff, and the community. As a humble little country girl, I would have never dreamed I would be where I am now. Destructoid has been just wonderful to me, and there's no way that I could ever give back enough. I'm still going to be a part of the site, and though my presence on the frontpage has dwindled since Once Upon a Pixel began (it takes up a lot of my time ;o;), I still lurk the frontpage, c-blogs and forums constantly. I love you guys, and that's why our wedding is open to any of you who wants to/can be there.

I have to say a special thank you to honorary Dtoider Aaron Linde. Almost three years ago now, I reconnected with him; we'd previously been old Livejournal friends way back when I was still in high school. He became like a brother to me during some really hard times. He introduced me to Destructoid, the site he had recently worked for (he had already started at Shacknews by that time) and I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of it. He also introduced me to Anthony. He's the person who set everything in motion for me, one of my closest friends, and just the best guy you could ever hope to know.

Now, let's get to the good stuff! Many of you have expressed a desire to come see us get hitched. We're still in the planning stages, but we kinda need to get a head count before we settle on a venue. All we know at this point is that

1. The wedding will take place in or around our residence in Phoenix, Arizona.

2. It will take place on a Saturday in early June (probably the 5th, but this is subject to change)

If you would be able to make it and want to come, please let me know in the comments so that we can plan accordingly!

If you would like to send a card or gift, please email us at either stripedbird@gmail.com or reverendanthony@gmail.com and we'll give you the address. It's totally not required, though!

Again, thank you for all of the kind words and well-wishes to Anthony and I! We hope you can make it!

I'm there.
I'm going to find a very elaborate toaster to you as your wedding gift.
I'll be there in spirit as I am unable to travel much thanks to my cash flow issues. Take pictures!
I will be there.
I will be there.
I live in the UK, somebody should livestream it and we can pretend it's like E3.
*I'm going to find a very elaborate toaster to give to you as your wedding gift.

Fixed because I am uneducate.
daww thats cute
Holy crap! That's SOON! You guys aren't fooling around, are you?

As much as I'd love to attend, I think I'll have to decline. I've got too much craziness going on around the end of May / beginning of June to try and fit in a flight to Arizona. But I wish you both nothing but the best. Congratulations again.
Second the live streAm... Or at least a liveblog...
I'm afraid that an unemployed loser like myself can't quite swing a cross-country flight at this point in time, but if you give me an address to mail to I'd definitely like to send a card. Congratulations!
A live stream would be awesome!
Is there free booze? Cos I won't go if there's no free booze. Well, besides the fact I live in the UK and all that.

Yeah, some kind of live stream would be great!
I will be there! :D
I will be there. Absolutely I will be.

<3
I'll talk to Anthony about doing a live stream. I think he might want to do some filming for a HAWP, so if nothing else, that will probably happen!
Here's another UK guy hoping for a livestream. :)
What's the dress code like?
If I knew you guys better and I lived closer I would, but regardless congratulations!
@Gobun

Casual, but keep in mind that our parents and grandparents will be there. Pants are required.
Damn it.
I was gonna go in my Gameboy Micro G-String
D'aww, we can't do formal? I wanna' look goo~ood.
I'm sorry! I hope this doesn't turn you off of the whole thing.
@Sentry

You can dress fancy if you wanna! Anything goes (except nakedness, as detailed earlier).
Congratulations once again! It's too far from Canada, but I wish you both every happiness. Live together, love together, laugh together... and play games together! :)
(and I second the live stream... I love weddings!!... oh, and feminine insistence on seeing full photos of you in your wedding dress!)
SO CLOSE! Probably won't be able to make it but if you give a mailing address I might be able to send a little something to wish you both well.

Oh and get lots of video. And put it to a badass montage.
I would go, bit I've only been at this site for a few months now. I wish you two the best!
Anthony is one of the smartest guys around and your artwork is just precious. You two will make awesome creative babies if you choose to procreate. Good luck!!
Steam it. That would be outstanding. And an adress for gifts would be awesome as well.
God danget i have school and i live in north Carolina.
Can someone please record and post it and bring a picture of my avatar
Stream* Darnit.
Yeah I'd like to send a card if it's at all possible.
I dub this wedding "BURCH N DAVIS UNION CELEBRATION PARTY TIME".
To you guys who want to send something: thank you so much! I kinda feel uneasy about posting our address here, so until I get Anthony's okay on that, please feel free to PM or email either of us for it (stripedbird@gmail.com or reverendanthony@gmail.com). We really appreciate it!
Wish I could go. Oddly enough, I'm apparently going to be in the bay area on that day.

All the same, hope the day is PK Rockin'. :D Oh God, that was lame..
ROAD TRIP! Dtoid HQ will be there :)
I wish I could be there, but I'm clear across the country :(

But I'm so there in spirit. And I would like to be there in card form if you do happen to give out an address.
I also vote for a stream, that'd be awesome.

Also, a Johnathan Coulton song must be played at the reception in order for it to qualify as epic.

Good luck and congrats to both of you!
I will try to make it. Would love to go. Is Dusty going to be there?

Also, can I get Papa Burch to sign my boob?
@SenorDoucheoisie:

I don't think where we're going allows dogs :( and I dunno! You can try! He might oblige.
Make the drive out to Vegas and have a REAL wedding!

Also I live in Vegas so I can go if it's here haha.
You guys are so kind! I hope you have an awesome day!
Once again, congratulations! I will also be there in spirit, I'll see if there's a small gift I can get you guys. Sorry if I can't!
Congratulations on the good news. We love happy endings at Dtoid.
I second the request for a live stream.
My reaction pic fits perfectly again...

There we go. ^_^

Congratulations again. :D
I will very likely be there.
PS I AM NOT HIS SISTER WE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE
