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.

Want to know how to win a much better system than a DBZ emblazoned 360? So do I. We've had a bunch of really good entires in this contest so far but I'm still looking for more. Repost of the contest details follow. Keep those good ideas coming!
I scored two Dreamcast consoles today when a deal I simply couldn't pass up dropped into my lap. Being the magnanimous soul that I am, I'm going to give them away on Destructoid. The problem? I'm both too busy and too lazy to come up with a good contest idea. So, here's the deal: I'm going to give one of the Dreamcasts to the person who comes up with what I consider to be the best contest idea. Then, that contest will be run to give away the second unit. All you have to do to enter is come up with a contest that can be run here in the CBlogs. It can be anything you like. You might want to keep in mind the kinds of contests I like to run by checking out the other ones I've done (here and here) and also keep in mind that the contest probably shouldn't run more than a week or two since you all have depressingly short attention spans. The prize is the console with audio/video and power cables only. I have no controllers. You have until I post the CBlog Recap on Monday, June 23rd to enter by posting a comment in this blog (or in one of the reminder posts to come later this week). Enter as often as you like, since only the best entry will be accepted. Oh, and US residents only, unless you don't mind chipping in for some shipping (International is a bit rich for my blood these days, I'm afraid). Good Luck!

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
The 'Pimp my dreamcast' competition, where people use their photoshop skills to give their rendition of a DC custom paintjob. Extra points if you pledge to paint the console up in that style if you win it.
Or give it to the person who can write the most convincing arguement for why they wouldn't want a free Dreamcast. Have 'em clearly label in the header that it's for the contest, so they obviously so want it, but then in the body they have to lie and do everything they can to make you believe that they legitimately would loathe getting the system... It'd be something different, eh?
Get it? Dreamcast.
