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.

Once more, it's time for me to put my ugly mug in front of the camera and deliver a diatribe whether you want it or not. In this video, I talk a little bit about my recent move, make an observation about not being very observant and bitch about something that I'm probably blowing completely out of proportion but can't resist. Also, there's a special little surprise at the end.

Here are some links:

- Go listen to RFGO!
- One dumb patent
- Reference material

As always, your comments, feedback and questions are appreciated.

What a brilliant patent. I'm gonna patent doing an action while doing another action, just like that. The world will be mine.

Nice ending.

On the one hand, I think it's totally repulsive to hold a patent like that and to go after companies like Sony or Microsoft. But then on the other hand, man I'd love to have free money like that.

I had stopped watching you, was just listening, and then I heard the outro you chose. Now I want to have your babies.

(Also, congrats!)
