Hi there humans who roam the net!
A new dtoider has arrive and for that, a little introductory post wont hurt nobody right?. So, let's get started
My name is Juan Pablo, I'm 23 years old and I come from Chile (or as my partner in geekiness, Danzflor put on his Dtoid blog, "the ass of the world" xD). As you might have noticed, I'm pretty much a MGS fanboy (not there's anything bad with it, don't you think?) though I play other games also, like Gran Turismo, GTA or the not-so-often online gaming session on FPS games like CounterStrike).
I don't think none of you would like to know my marital status (which is pretty easy to find out anyway .___. ) but, in any case that doesn't bother me so much. I used to be on a relationship with a non-gaming person.. (I' might discuss that issue on my next blog entry BTW) and we decided to take separate ways. As simple as that.
Other things that I like to do besides gaming? Well, I'm your average John Q. Public: I'm into anime, manga, movies, photography and cooking... Wait, did I just said "cooking"? Well, yeah! I'm a male who loves cooking (There's nothing ghei about it when you think of it... besides, that actually helps you a lot to score some points with the random Jane Doe that might appear on your life sooner or later)
I'm also a student... currently, I'm a undergraduated freshmen of Technical Admistration of Tourism and I'm applying for a scholarship in the U.k. Don't ask me way I choose the U.k over other parts of the world,. I just want to go there. Besides, everbody wants to go to Japan and I'll do that someday. Neat, huh?.
And that pretty much does it for my first post here on Dtoid. Hope we can all get along well, and of course, my next entry will be far more interesting than this one! *0*
PD: I'll leave you with a fairly recent pic from last weekend. Some guys from
WmForo.comdecided to do a little gaming get-together and here's the result.

Thank's for the warm welcome here on Dtoid. I'll do my best to avoid the suckiness (wait, is that a word?)
@MrSadistic:
A small correction, the name is Chile. Why my country is called like that? No freakin' idea. Maybe it's because it looks like a chili pepper:
Nah, I'm just kidding. According to the article on Wikipedia:
"There are various theories about the origin of the word Chile. According to one theory the Incas of Peru, who had failed to conquer the Araucanians, called the valley of the Aconcagua "Chili" by corruption of the name of a tribal chief ("cacique") called Tili, who ruled the area at the time of the Incan conquest. Another theory points to the similarity of the valley of the Aconcagua with that of the Casma Valley in Peru, where there was a town and valley named Chili.[12] Other theories say Chile may derive its name from the indigenous Mapuche word chilli, which may mean "where the land ends,"[13] "the deepest point of the Earth," or "sea gulls;" or from the Quechua chin, "cold," or the Aymara tchili, meaning "snow." Another meaning attributed to chilli is the onomatopoeic cheele-cheele—the Mapuche imitation of a bird call. The Spanish conquistadors heard about this name from the Incas and the few survivors of Diego de Almagro's first Spanish expedition south from Peru in 1535-36 called themselves the "men of Chilli."
Sorry about the history lesson. .___.
now we have like 4 latin dtoiders....teta (peru), you and danzflor (chile), and me (mexico). amazing
Welcome to Destructoid: Mr. Sadistic loves you.
Like everybody said, Mexican Jesus loves you.
Also, that shirt. I love it.
March 2007; I was in Valdivia (My former hometown in Chile), attending an anime convention. They were gathering people for the usual Karaoke contest and said to myself: "Why not? I might have a shot at it".
So, I enlisted myself for the contest and since I didn't wanted to sing the typical "oh-so-happy-generic-anime-opening-song", I went all out with "Snake Eater" from MGS3. Long story short, I won. Not because of my singing talent (if I ever had one to begin with), but just because I wasn't doing what the rest of contestants did... to stand there singing, without moving or getting the people involved with the song.
So the prize was actually good... an assortment of random anime merchandising (Stuffed dolls, a couple of DVD's and PVC figures) plus, a t-shirt. They had several ones ready and most of them where from anime shows... and one of them caught my eye. Wasn't about an anime series I don't care about., it was from one of my favourite games.
So there you have it. I got a snazzy MGS related t-shirt which I love.
