About Me
I own a 360, Wii, "Special" Xbox, a hardcore PC I built, and the software company I work for has a GoldenTee Machine and Electronic Dartboard in the break room. I am not sure if I am hardcore but I check Dtoid about 10 times a day and post while I am talking on the phone with customers because I need t be doing more than 1 thing at a time or I will go crazy. I don’t really hit any other game sites but I do check out Digg, The Onion and CollegeHumor at least once a day to see what they have going on, man I love those sites. I mostly play FPS's because there is always someone that is better than you and it gives you something to stride for, as opposed to platforms that just drive me crazy where you have to not get lost, pick up a key, jump on an impossible ledge and figure out how to unlock a door or something, man I really hate those games. I mostly like online multiplayer because of a constant need to measure myself against other, also AI is no match for a 15 year old. Anyways, I am a huge sports fan and play on 3 different softball teams, anyways I am hearing myself in my head and I am sounding like a douche with all this so I am stopping. I would give this description 4 out of 5 meh's

Pretty funny article on College Humor about the Playstation 3 release of the Eye of Judgment...now with -3 erectile use

Found this article to be pretty funny, but I pose this question to you. Is there a difference between the "Hardcore" gamer and the just plain "Dorky" gamer?

Talk amongst yourselves...I'll give you a topic...The Cold War was neither Cold nor a War...discuss...

Anyways...I love these guys at College Humor and aside from Dtoid it is my favorite site on the net



My guest for this week's A Winner Is You! is Will "backflip" DeGirolamo, executive editor of MEGATONik.com.

TALKING POINT: The recent Playstation 3 release Eye of Judgment comes with a camera, playing mat, camera stand, and a deck of Magic-the-Gathering-like cards. You set up your playing area, point the camera at the cards, and compete against online opponents. As you play, 3D graphics representing your cards act out your actions and duel on screen.

Is this the new dorkiest thing ever?

Jeff: This is great for people who have always wanted to try Magic: the Gathering, but were put off by all that icky human contact.

Careful not to point the Eye of Judgment at yourself.
Will: It reminds me of the game R2D2 and Chewie play on the Milennium Falcon.

Jeff: There it is. Comparing Eye of Judgement to Star Wars is the dorkiest thing ever.

Will: Eye of Judgment might seem weird to some people, but the idea of playing card games online is probably here to stay.

Jeff: There's a new generation that grew up collecting Pokemon instead of lighting ants on fire and playing good old fashioned games, like StarFox.

Will: It looks like some sort of predecessor to Microsoft's Surface concept.

Jeff: It's like Minority Report, but with minotaurs and elven priests.

Will: And thankfully, less Tom Cruise.

Jeff: Eye of Judgment is for serious nerds only. It's a fantasy-fulfillment game with overly expensive peripherals. The worst part is you can waste an unlimited amount of money buying new packs of cards. It's ridiculous. Wake me at the end of the month when Rock Band is out and selling full albums.



also here is the link to the actual article on CH...also cocks!

Dude, that's backflip from Destructoid! He wrote it in his blog post, but sadly is was a while ago, so I have no links.

Backflip is good people. If you haven't read the whole thing check it out!

He's older than me and you Carlos, I don't think he's a mod though. Yeah he's been here a while but I'm sure he enjoys you giving him the spotlight.
