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.

Christ. Sorry it's late everyone (particularly the two of you bitching down there), but I wound up with killer seats to a baseball game tonight and decided to shirk responsibility until later. How was I to know Sterling was gonna announce a new contest? Canadian Zimmerisms are gonna have to wait for another day, but I'll post what the most awesome thing is about Canada on Monday's recap. Enjoy. *- I, too, adore Simon's Quest despite all the evidence *- Normally, I don't go in for whining about how the internet is making life difficult for gamers, but this is a critical flaw that we should bitch about *- Best.
