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.
To anyone with a PS3 and a love of puzzle games: I bet you I could kick your ass in Puzzle Fighter and Critter Crunch with a probability of 50%. Game on!
The lovely Procyon hosted a NARP this weekend. If the Swiss Family Robinson played video games, this would be it. Highlights include:
- The Christmas explosion next door
- Wii Sports HD
- Neo Kobe Pizza (it is delicious)
- Serving, breaking, electric boogalooing across two floors
- Loco for Four Loko
- Chocolate chip pancakes
Congrats for first-time NARPers Sam, Brian, and John for coming on out. At least, I think those are your names. Sorry if I messed those up!
Sadly, I only took a handful of pictures, but videos are like 1000 pictures or something. Beware, I had a Four Loko and some other boozeahols, so I come off especially loud and obnoxious.
Love my neighbor showing up at the end of the video telling me that his 400,000 xmas lights finally blew his circuit breaker. I totally believed him too.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
... and that was one fuzzy, manly chest! :)
