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.

We all know that any sports game that comes out for current-gen/Wii will be less good on the Wii as a dumbed down port; now they can just focus on making two distinct gameplay experiences and try to get consumers to buy both versions because of that. Genius!
Not that I care about those games. At all :)
What's odd is that the best sports game for the Wii isn't made by them; It's made by Konami. They somehow managed to turn their soccer game, Winning Eleven/Pro Evo into some sort of fast paced mix of sports and RTS with the Wiimote. It's fun.
