I am the 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'll be printing out the Siren cover, Conrad. God knows it's a more appealing design than the mook blowing his brains out. I want to finish the game, because theoretically the idea of a FPS mixed with an RPG is awesome.
I just wish there'd been some element of character customization beyond color swaps.
Although I do have a very small, and extremely petty nitpick. The game's title font isn't nearly as distressed as the class title font, and that looks a hair disheveling to me. I'll definitely use the Siren or Hunter after I make a couple tweaks of my own in Photoshop.
Still, I'm loving these, and you seriously should make more.
Would you mind if I asked you which editing program you use?
You can generally check what software has been used to edit or take a digital image, if the author of the image hasn't edited that information out, by checking the Details tab in the files properties.
I also use Photoshop CS5, and it is a very powerful, professional-grade program.
It's not cheap though.
I really need to be more concise, and even more so need to typing up these stream of consciousness postscripts when I am not.
