About Me
Hey, My name is Aaron, I'm half black, I rock an afro, and I've been playing video games for almost all my life.
My Favorite Games in a Series:
Final Fantasy 9
Metal Gear Solid 2(haven't played 4 yet)
Mario Bros World
Kingdom Hearts 1
Resident Evil 4, (haven't played 5)
Armored Core 2, It's the dynasty warriors of mech games, but this one still beats the others.
Check out this 10 things you didn't know about me blog if you want to know more about me.
My interests outside of video games are movies, books,some drawing and painting, and a bit of sports here and there. My favorite superhero is most definitely Batman. I loved every movie in the series, yes including the bad ones, because I have a great love of horrible puns. My favorite movie of all time though has to go to "Back to the Future", that movie is so wholly excellent, I can't even explain it, just see for yourself.
I used to have the actual movie cover featured here, but Mikey came up with such an incredible new one that this needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
Another great interest of mine is giant robots. I think it first started when I saw the power rangers summon the megazord for the first time. After that, I considered colossal sized mechs fighting other giant things to be the ultimate form of combat. So, it's a no brainer that my favorite anime is the Gundam series, and of that, Char Aznable's Sazabi from Char's Counterattack is my favorite gundam. I hope that helps you to know a bit about me.
Glorious!
I'm also in a series of videos on youtube that me and my friends did. It's really bad, but also has a few genuinely awesome moments snuck in there. It's called Pipe Fighters. Check it out if you're bored or have a sadistic need to know everything about me:

I don't make an appearance in this episode, but I'm in all of them after that one.
One last thing:
These guys rule. THE END.

Hey Dtoid, it's been a long time!
A few may recognize me, but most of you probably don't. I'm just a fellow lover of video games from the back country of North Carolina. I've been following Destructoid for a couple years now, and since then I even posted a few blogs on here about a year and a half ago. Unfortunately I hit a roadblock and never quite got back on track to producing more blogs, even after starting half a dozen different topics that never quite got finished. Destructoid is such a great community and it was an incredibly fun experience letting you guys see my writings and interacting with you all that I swore to myself I'd one day I'd get back to blogging. Then I started getting behind with video games. I lost my Wii, and never had quite enough money to afford to replace it or ever get a ps3 or 360. It got harder and harder to have anything relevant to talk about because the closest I ever got to most games was by reading about them. Well that changes today! I am now the proud first time owner of a brand new xbox 360! Damn. Video game systems have come a long ways. The menus, the options, internet, the way it's all...connected, this generation of consoles really is a huge leap ahead of the old one, not just in terms of graphics, but in usability and their place in the home. They really have become like media centers for your house. Anyways, once all the excitement wore off from buying the console, I realized I didn't actually have any GAMES to play on it! That's where I could use you guys' help. What games would you suggest!? I'm not sure which ones still stand out and are worth playing today since it's been so many years since the system has come out. What games are all the cool kids playing online together these days? Which ones do the dtoiders like to use for FNFs the most? Here's a list of some I'm considering: Lost Odyssey Call of Duty (4 or MW2) Batman Arkham Asylum Mass Effect 1&2 Street Fighter 4/Soul Calibur 4/Tekken 6 Gearz/Haloz Bioshock Fallout 3 I hope you guys will take me back! Please, be gentle! I don't even know what blog etiquette is like anymore. I'm glad to finally feel like I can once again add my input to the great games discussion going on here though. See you soon on live, feel free to add me!

Welcome back, man!
That's a killer list, you can't go wrong with most of those! I'd just go ahead and default to SFIV in that fighter category though. Its the tightest craft of the three.
Yeah, you're right I should probably choose SFIV. Most of my friends play it and it should still have good online multiplayer by now. The others were just on there cause I'm a bigger Tekken fan than Street Fighter one, and I thought the special characters in Soul Calibur 4 were pretty awesome.
Pretty much every game you listed is a solid choice. I'd recommend Reach since that's what most people will be playing, especially during FnF. If you need to fill out your Live friends you can add me (GT: CelicaCrazed).
