About Me
First off is my highest honour -- my shit on the front page of Destructoid.


I was born back in the days of yore, when 3-D graphics were only a dream.

I like games.

Super Nintendo had to be one of the best consoles. Mario, Metroid, Link, Kirby, Donkey Kong and everyone else came to the party. Good times.

I own a Super Nintendo, N64, Gamecube, Wii, PS1, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and a DS.

I regret missing some of the good old days, back in the early 90's, because I was too young to appreciate a good game when it smacked me in the face. Such is the folly of youth.

Somedays I wish I could have lived through such tumultuous times, what with the advent of Spandex tights and Rap, but then I think that it is much better to live longer and be younger than all of you people who did enjoy Super Metroid and Mario Kart in it's heyday and just be content with an emulator and a Xbox 360 controller.


Favorite Games: Mario series, Donkey Kong Country/64, Metroid series, Legend of Zelda series, Fable, Halo series, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA series, God of War 1 and 2, Morrowind, Oblivion, Tales of Symphonia, Final Fantasy X, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and more that I can't recall.


Send me a friends request if you dare, just send a message telling me you're from Destructoid so I don't think you're a 63 year old pedophile masquerading as a teenage girl to lure gullible, young boys to your basement. And if that description both fits you and you are from Destructoid then expect to recieve my home phone number and address.

Update: One year later

New games I would add to my favorites are Gears of Wars series, Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock (hey, I was playing it when I joined!), and other games I cannot recall. Some games I have loved for a long time but forgot to list over a year ago are Rome: Total War, the top Mario games, and the main Pokemon GB games. The rest escape me at this time.



So these days God no longer compels you to blog, Atlas is Fontaine, and generally speaking I am pretty well known around these parts. (I hope) I regret not joining Destructoid sooner, when I first had the chance with a link from Chad Concelmo's IGN blog. Even he was born in the primordial soup IGN was, or so it would seem. I no longer frequent there or other gaming sites except from time to time because Destructoid is hopefully my internet home from here on out. A great place to be, cheers to another year at Destructoid!

Update: Another year later

Okay, so year three isn't going that great. I haven't blogged for six months and have barely visited the site. In fact, it is nearly November and my 2 years happened almost 2 months ago in early September. Damn life, going outside into the real world is time consuming! I haven't even turned on a videogame since April... (until just recently!) But of course I haven't forgotten about Dtoid; THE GREATEST SITE ON THE WEB! Sorry Dtoid, I will try to live less and Dtoid more.

Update: Another few years later

So life hit me... I still visit this site when I can... to think I started visiting this site when I was 15, and made an account two weeks after I turned 16... I'm 20 now, Destructoid is practically part of my life story at this point, even if I disappear for years at a time. Still, I remember the good old days, the days when Dtoid was like the Wild West, when I was at my most active, and when we would open the gates of Hell in our mischief, always walking on the edge of the banhammer. Now I'm just an ancient, obscure memory to the last surviving cowboys, a group even to this day I feel I'm a part of. Still, I raise my glass to you. Good times Destructoid, good times!

Oh, and to a few of us oldsters, Atlas is Fontaine.

Well a pokeball breaks down a pokemon down to a molecular level,then converts their dna into.....(head explodes),

In full honesty don't try to fathom that,its like asking why does pokemon still exist as a anime if it never ends.

He compresses into the 3 square microns of the pokeball that aren't filled with pokeporn.

It can be said for a lot of very large pokemon as well... and very small ones for that matter. Actually, I don't think there is any pokemon smaller than a pokeball... so, HOW DOES ANY POKEMON FIT IN THE BALLS!

I don't get how they caught Pokémon in Apricorns before Pokéballs existed. I mean essentially a nut from trees contains these things?

"Winrar compresses wailord into the pokeball."
And that's what misingno came from. Winrar messed up and gave the pokemon weird aritfacts. Happens all the time. Shame they don't do much about the faulty pokeballs.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

I just read that they are actually destroyed and converted into data when they are returned to a pokeball. That is how a each Pokecenter PC can have your pokemon in it because those computers use the internet to transfer over the data. So I can see why Pikachu didn't like the Pokeball...

But then how did they use the hollowed shells of nuts to capture pokemon in the old days? How was this pokemon even weakened enough to be captured? Did some caveman beat one with a club and stuff it into a nutshell?

They caught the first Rattata by breaking its bones with their feet and squeezing it into a nutshell. The rest is history.

Gentlemen:

"The invention of Poké Balls apparently occurred in the Johto region, where Apricorns grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fit with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under Silph Co. and the Devon Corporation. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while Kurt, a resident of Azalea Town, still constructs them.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as "magical beasts" (Japanese: 魔獣 majū), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until these devices allowed the various Pokémon to be stored in pockets easily."

you gotta wonder why the pokemans are still fully formed if they break out of the pokeball early when trying to catch them. D:

Alucard, from Castlevania SotN, is Dracula backwards. Therefore, Alucard is a pokémon. I wonder what his second and final stages look like.

Oh yeah missingno., did it really messed up your game because I caught like 12 of them but half evolved into Rhydons and level 1 Kangaskhans.

The worst part was that you needed one of the massive bastards to catch the Regis, and by the time I figured that out, I was way too lazy to train up a wailmer, and Wailord is freakin impossible

Somehow I can't envision a Wailord being used in a gymbattle. Wouldn't it be bigger than a pool?

Yeah, PokeBalls convert matter into energy, and then back again. Pokemon turn into the red flash of light that you see; the light is the energy that the Pokemon turned into. When it's released it's converted back into matter. Advanced technology eh?
Or another probability is Pokemon do NOT turn into energy when recalled to a PokeBall, they are digitized, and that data is stored in the PokeBall shell, which is like a solid-state HDD.

Another great example of innovation, I am glad to find it. There are so many developers working on this segment but this is one of the best innovative idea ever. Thanks for sharing it here.
