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.

Too Old for this Shit Conrad Zimmerman | 8:20 AM on 01.01.2008 10 comments

I'm over ninety percent of the way to thirty years. I should not be getting so drunk that I vomit and pass out before midnight on New Year's Eve. There was a nice little wave of drunkeness for a while there, until some of the folks didn't want to wait to do Irish Car Bombs and I managed to get suckered into one. Bad, bad idea. 'Tis funny, though. I used to drink a lot. Like, Hemmingway-drunk most every night. At the time, I worked a nine-to-five job and would have to get up at the crack of dawn to go to the gig. Now, I largely work from home and can't be bothered to get out of bed before noon. After drinking last night, up and at 'em at seven in the am, before the fucking sun has breached the horizon. Happy New Year, everybody.
