I'm Jon. I've been reading Destructoid since at least August '08, but only decided just recently (as of May '09) to start being an active community member. If you want to know more about me, feel free to read my intro forum post.

Long story short: I'm a grad student who enjoys video games and video game related news, but doesn't get around to actually play them that often. That's probably why puzzle and rhythm/music games are my bread and butter, since they're pretty easy to pick up and play. JRPGs used to be #1, until it dawned on me that I no longer have time to hunker down for hours at a time.

I haven't caught on with a lot of the current generation of systems, so I guess that kind of makes me a retro gamer by default. I still have my SNES that I'll return to someday and replay FF3/6 and Secret of Mana. Also, my sister knitted a goomba hat for my birthday. So yeah, 16-bits rock my world.

Currently Playing
Super Robot Taisen Saga OG: Endless Frontier
Bit Trip Core
Left 4 Dead
Persona 3
Sonic Anniversary Collection (for kicks)

Also, since they don't have a Steam setting anywhere on the profile (what's up with that, huh?!), my user name is YourPingIsShowing. Hopefully, it's not, but if it is, for chrissake just stow it away before you take out an eye.
