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.
In terms of PS3 games to get, Uncharted should certainly be on your list. It's an absolutely amazing game, with great graphics and nigh on perfect voicework. I'd also recommend Disgaea 3, if you like some SRPGs, and Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan and 3 if you can read Japanese at all.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Devil May Cry 4 and Heavenly Sword are all fun little jaunts. If you've already beaten DMC4 and a version of Ninja Gaiden, Heavenly Sword is still worth a playthrough.
Also, I don't know if it's my speakers, but the volume was a bit on the quiet side.
My Name is Bruce is pretty entertaining, and I love how they make him out to be a struggling B movie actor in a trailer park when he actually is pretty damn rich.
Heavenly Sword is really fun on the PS3, though I would rent it and not purchase it. The game is really short, 4-5 hours long, but is really fun during that time.
As it stands now, I enjoy this and I would like to see more. If you planned on making more, I personally think one thing you could do is talk, like, two minutes about your personal views on what's coming over the gaming horizon. Like what your thoughts about the new things Capcom have been planning, stuff like that.
(In this case it's just good though, keep it up!)
@everyone asking about the hat: Alright. I'll see what I can do to have appropriate headwear in the next one.
@everyone else who offered suggestions: Thanks! I'll see about incorporating some of those in the future.
2. You are cute
3. Do more of these
Enjoyed the video, but I hardly ever actually watch videos online.
Also, I just wanna be like conrad.
Conrad, this was very good. Do more.
Civilization: Revolution(Sid Meiers Edition)
I can't explain how fun it is and how much replayability it has, its like taking risk + Age of Empires and sugarcoating it for the masses.
I don't have any other suggestions for PS3 games, because I've only got five myself, and none are really suitable for your request.
more are welcome.
