About Me


My name is Ben. This is my blog.

I enjoy working in Adobe Flash when I have the time and I've churned out a few websites as a result. I call myself a gamer, although I'm admittedly a bit of a fanboy; you could print "Nintendo" on a roll of toilet paper and I'd bid for that shit on eBay.

Seriously though, I play a lot of games and my platform of choice right now is the DS. There are a ton of sidescrollers and traditional RPGs that I remember playing a lot when I was younger. Better yet, I missed a lot of games on the Super Nintendo back in the day (they were like $70 or something) and a big trend on the DS right now is remaking and re-releasing them for this generation of gamers. I eat that shit up. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Shiren the Wanderer FTW.


My Top Seven Favorite Game Franchises:

1. Dragon Quest
2. Half-Life
3. Mario (excluding some)
4. Castlevania
5. Metroid
6. Ace Attorney
7. Resident Evil

Some of my favorite games (In no particular order):

Paper Mario, Xenogears, Okami, the entire Resident Evil Series, Super metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, Secret of Mana, Illusion of Gaia, The World Ends With You, Mario Kart DS, Kirby Canvas Curse, Super Mario Galaxy, Fire Emblem: Path of radience, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis, Dr. Mario, Devil's Crush, Ninja gaiden (NES), Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest Heros: Rocket Slime, the Phoenix Wright series, Hotel Dusk, The Longest Journey, Breath of Fire III, Half-Life 2, Lock's Quest, Henry Hatsworth, Rhythm Heaven, and many others that I just can't think of right now...

Quick Dragon Questing Update: Sorry, I Got Married.
BenHaskett | 5:33 PM on 01.29.2010 6 comments




Er... Hey everyone, to anyone and everyone who reads these, sorry that I haven't done one since early August of last year, but I kinda got married in November and that took a significant chunk of my Dragon Questing time...

Matter of fact, being married has dissolved a huge chunk of my gaming time in general!

And, well, I kinda also got a PS3. Been dedicating a huge amount of available time to that...

But yeah, still playing Dragon Quest VII. At the very last dungeon! I'll be getting into the habit of writing about it very soon.

Sorry for such a long drought!

Marriage is not an excuse sir. You have failed gaming, yourself, gaming, and waffles.

Boo you, sir.



Boo. You.

Holy hell! You ARE alive! =O Congratulations first and foremost on tying the knot good sir! I'm not going to lie, I'm severely backlogged in terms of even finding time to game nowadays, but I'm slowly getting around to getting back to Dragon Quest VIII and all! =D

Hey, just noticed this. Congratulations on getting married, dude! I'm currently on my fourth journey through a Dragon Quest game, DQV. It's easily my favorite so far. I think it's funny that we both got back into this series around the same time (your blogs probably had something to do with that).
