About Me

Hello, fellow gamers and gamerettes (Is that sexist?). I had a falling out with Destructoid (for heaven's sake, the site's very name is not in the dictionary) a long, long time ago and I am astonished to see that my name is still registered on the site. Anyway, I thought I'd say some ultimately uninteresting but required stuff about my vanilla existence. I love games. All sorts of games. Even the eroge ones (especially the eroge ones, now that I think about it). The problem is I have not played very many video games. Even the eroge ones. I chalk that up to being a poor piece of shit that had to hand every dime over to the family just to get the rent paid, but alas, that is a topic for another day.

Anyway, I derive my gamer credibility from receiving a reply from Jonathan Holmes, our very own white knight and all-around awesome and unnaturally handsome scholar of everything gaming. Just in case you want to check it out, it's on his "Revolutions in Gaming" article. Also, I really like Jim Sterling. He's mega, hyper, super, insanely cool and I love his fat, pink, beautiful face. I would kiss him if I could.

Ahem, I've completed the following games:
-- Resident Evil 4 (NGC)
-- Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
-- Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
-- The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA)
-- Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (GBA)
-- Jet Set Radio
-- Jest Set Radio Future
-- Gears of War
-- Gears of War 2

Some nuggets of (very mildly) interesting information from my (very limited) gaming experience follow. When I first saw Jet Grind Radio and Shenmue on the Dreamcast in 2008, my mind was blown. The colors, polygons, animation, EVERYTHING blew my 16 year old mind. Resident Evil 4 likewise gave me an eye orgasm with its AMAZANG (<-- Intentional misspelling) graphics at around the same time. My interest, nay fascination/infatuation, with gaming began and has peaked and crashed with the waxing and waning of my life since. I dream nearly constantly of a room packed wall-to-wall with games of all kinds.

And that's a bit about me. I'd like to get to know the community here better. Especially Magnalon. Actually, that name is the only one that comes to mind right now.

Hi Everybody! BumGamer | 7:31 AM on 05.24.2009 19 comments

Now, I know you saw that title (you know, "Hi Everybody!" like that doctor on Simpsons), and immediately concluded that this post would not be worth your time. You are 110% correct, but bare with me a little and I'll keep it short as possible as I introduce myself. I joined this site a couple of months ago, and this is probably the fourth time I've actually logged on. I visit DToid almost everyday, so this is a bit awkward, but I tend to be too lazy to log on. Anyway, I would like to familiarize people with who I am, so I decided to write up this short post in order to do just that. I am not going to get personal (because frankly that could be dangerous), and I'll just give you a general overview of who I am. Wait ... I've completely ran out of ideas. All I can think of saying is that I live in Central Ohio (like Paul Soth, another user who's page I find quite interesting), and that I enjoy video games and gaming very much, even though I usually do not have the money to expend upon my hobby. That, and that I would love to get to know some of you (not in a touchy-feely, pedo-like sense; I'm not a 60 year old ice cream man here), and share my passion for this hobby with other users. Uh, its coming back to me: and I especially enjoy RPG's, fighting games, adventure games (straight adventure fare like Shenmue, for example, which I've almost completed and love in spite of heavy opposition), strategy games, and shooters. I got an old Genesis and Super Nintendo from a neighbor, and that is when I think I really started to get into retro gaming, which has brought me to this wonderful web site and all the thoughtful and interesting articles users post by the dozens everyday. I would love to continue to get to know people who have similar interests, and hopefully summon enough thoughts to one day write a comprehensive introductory article to all of you. Until then, as the French say [(or don't say, I can't really tell) (and I am not French either, just a little FYI)], au revoir! Below is an accurate representation of me (complete with crappy and overused Google Images images;it's almost a tongue twister!) Attached photos:
