I grew up deprived of videogames, all I ever wanted was an NES and my parents said no way. So as soon as I moved out I bought a Nintendo 64 and haven't looked back since. I love most types of games, mainly shooters, action and Nintendo first party stuff. The only genre I don't dig is JRPG's, I can't get into turn-based action. I don't game as much as I used to, now that I've got a time-consuming job and live with my girlfriend and dog. But I still manage to play a bit, usually sitting on the couch next to my special lady friend as she plays "Sally's Salon" and that type of stuff on her iPhone. Talk shit about casual iPhone games all you want but my girl was not a gamer at all when I met her and through the iPhone she has become more hardcore than me! I have felt her wrath if I interrupt her as she's trying to beat a tough level of "Diner Dash." Now we happily game together (Rock Band) and seperately while still hanging out.

Other than gaming, I work as a television news photographer in Seattle and try to make music videos in my spare time. This is a link to one I'm especially proud of, if you're interesed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MngWu3Pyk78

I'm always looking for more online friends, I'm not super hardcore but I don't completely suck. The only game I will destroy you in is Mario Kart Wii battle mode. Go ahead and challenge me if you don't believe me.

Last year the shift at my job changed so I'm working overnights which some days leaves me with lots of free time. To relieve boredom I decided to start a videogame blog and scoured the internet to find the right home. After being turned off by the discourse on most sites I discovered Destructoid to have a very smart, funny and supportive community. And even though I don't post regularly I am always blown away by the thoughtful comments you guys all leave on my writings. Thank you all so much for creating this safe, welcoming place for videogame enthusiasts to write and share thoughts.

I was prompted to write this note after meeting with my dad last week. He said he enjoys reading my blog, even though he has no clue what I'm talking about, because of the comments from the community. He was impressed by how nice everyone is, saying most of his experience with internet posters is negative. I wanted to share that with all of you, and thank you all for making Destructoid a great place.


Special shout out to Elsa who went out of her way to make me feel welcome when I first joined the site.

Agreed, this place is great

*Group Hug*
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Oh man, this just made me think how people must feel when should they try joining the forums, it's like there is a potential barrier of rape that one must quantum tunnel through to get to the nice side. Glad you found this cool place to be blogging!
I must agree that this place is very nice. They may hate me, but the comments the community has left on my blogs are always positive and encouraging.

@Tarvu: I don't think the forums are all that bad at accepting newcomers. You just gotta make sure you don't suck a little more than here.
It's always great when members feel at home here. Dtoid is a haven of civility and awesomeness in the vast sea of the internet, with a few boners added in for good measure.

Also, hi, Dakilazical's dad!
I recently said that in the internet world you tend to get what you give. Your blogs show that you care. You put a lot of effort and thought into your blogs and it shows. I'm really glad that you can feel the love back at ya!

... thanks for the shout out... and say "Hi" to your Dad from us! :)
This place DOES rule. I should stop lurking. <_<
Also, hi Mr Dakilzaical.
Quality members are always nice to have, Dak.
Thanks for the comments everyone, especially you, bestdscard. That spam means a lot
I am glad that you have found a home here. I like this place too. It feels good on my skin, like a silk shirt with a knock off Dragon Ball Z character on it.
And thank you for giving us the pleasure of reading your stuff.
