About Me

Just a guy who loves to talk video games a lot. I try to be funny and fail a lot, but I swear I'm worth having around.



I'm an older gamer (read:30) and I like to look back on all the good (and bad) that I played through in the before time.

I don't game as much thanks to my 2yr old daughter, but I do keep up on the latest things. As far as she's concerned, well she likes to hit the buttons a lot, which means she could win a few rounds of DOA.

10 thing you don't know about CronosBlade
CronosBlade | 11:37 AM on 02.01.2009 16 comments


1)I was engaged once before I met and married my wife.

2) During the 2004 Elections, my boss and I were traveling for business. in Tennessee. We crashed both the Republican and Democratic Parties in two different hotels by switching the buttons we were wearing. I was so drunk that I barely made it the next morning to lead the training classes.

3) I have a framed and signed photo of me and Lou Ferigno together.

4) For my job I stayed two weeks straight in New Orleans 2 months after Hurricane Katrina hit. It's an experience and a sight I will never forget, sadly.

5) My wife and I met online, she's from New York, I'm Texan. Here we are almost 7 years later.

6) I've made mentions to people before, but I was a Gamefaqs moderator for over 7 years. I don't know how I survived that place, but I ended up here.

7) Along with Item 6, I also used to write FAQs. I've got one of the largest Phantasy Star Online FAQs for the Dreamcast. I also co-wrote one of the biggest Gran Turismo 3 FAQs as well. If you find these, you'll find my original online name. (I became CronosBlade when I left GFaqs).

8) My favorite movies are mob movies. I can quote Casino and GoodFellas line for line.

9) Anyone remember when Blockbuster ran a video game contest? The contest was a timed run on Sonic 1 and two other games, with high scores advancing,I made it to the regional finals in San Antonio at Sea World before losing by 1 point in NBA Jam (when my player missed a layup with 4 seconds in the game).

10) I am almost legally blind in one eye.

Gamefaqs? Oh man, what a harsh world that must have been.

I remember what New Orleans was like before Katrina. It's still one of my favorite places to visit though. Great list cronos!

I'm still in the south, just an hour from New Orleans. All the pussies are gone, and it is sweet.

Dude! Eyesight is super important, so I feel your pain. I blogged last week about somewhat almost losing mine in my left eye. =( And a dreaded moderator on GameFAQs eh? =P

Gamefaqs moderator for 7 years? There is a place in heaven reserved for you. You've endured hardships that few have imagined.

If you go to PAX, I'll try not to shoot my load in your good eye.

You're more than a man if you can survive Gamefaqs that long

Man gamefaqs is hardcore, that is way more detail than I could pick up from a game.

Please share your secrets with us on that.
