I have followed Destructoid since its infancy but never really got involved too much with the community, so I figured why not now?
I've been playing games since I was a wee lad. My first system was the NES. My parents were the ones to get me into them. They loved playing video games when I was younger. They were big fans of Contra. They still know the Konami code to this day. Video games have been an integral part of my life. I put in about 20+ hours a week and I love playing co-op games with my girlfriend.
Apart from video games, I love music. I've sang (screamed/growled) for a few metal and deathcore bands that went nowhere. I have a few tattoos. One on my right arm, right shoulder and one piece that covers the left portion of my chest, collar bone, shoulder, arm and back. It's still a work in progress.
I currently own an Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and PC. I used to own a plethora of consoles but I've since then traded or sold them. My room mate is the one who collects system. We still have a working NES in the living room and Ninja Gaiden is still in my opinion one of the hardest games ever.

Ahem, yeah. I've had ONE successful full match, and that was against a clan of dickheads.
@Jon B - I haven't heard of that problem! Are there more who have the same problem? I've been playing the game for over 40 hours with no blips whatsoever.
