About Me

I am the Deputy News Editor at Destructoid. I write about videogames for a living. That last sentence is as awesome as it sounds, though not always in the ways you might think.

I also play host to Destructoid's live streaming satellite studio, Couchtoid. From there, we broadcast Backlog, an attempt to work through my stack of old games one hour at a time (Weeknights, 10pm Pacific) and Saturday Morning Hangover where Dtoid writer Jordan Devore and the always lovely ImpossiblePlant play often painful games for your amusement (Saturdays, 10am Pacific).

I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.

About Rodney Dangerfield:



The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.

RIP Rodney.

"I am not interested in recap for recap's sake, but I'm interested in recap that is moral, that is right and that is good." - Martin Luther Robot Jr. Tonights recap is dedicated to GynecologistCobra, who stood up today and declared that he doesn't need the oppression of Grand Theft Auto IV and has shown solidarity for his brothers who refuse to give in when society turns a blind eye to pain. Right on, my brother. Other than that, good day in the blogs. I'm not going to try to be too witty right now, as I have a lot of other writing I want to get done tonight and, well, it's recap time.
