About Me

I'm a recent Master's graduate from Caltech with a degree in Chemistry. I'm currently living in Pasadena, CA, with a degree I don't want to use, trying to break into the game industry. I've been reading Destructoid since June of 2006. I'm a huge Nintendo fanboy, though I spend most of my gaming time on the 360 these days. I've got far too many posts on the forum.

I play all types of games except realistic sports games and real-time strategy games. The former because I think they're boring and the latter because I utterly suck at them.

I've got an Examiner page. That place pays based on hits, comments, and subscriptions, so if you like my stuff, go check that out. If you don't like my stuff, go tell me how awful I am over there!

Games I'm currently playing:
Burnout Paradise (360)
Left 4 Dead 2 (360)
Lego Rock Band (360)
Mass Effect (360)
Modern Warfare 2 (360)
ModNation Racers (PS3)
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii)

Games that are on the back burner:
BioShock (360, need to go back and get the Achievements I missed)
Crush (PSP, I never really think to play my PSP)
Culdcept SAGA (360, the battles just take way too long)
Grand Theft Auto IV (360, it just didn't draw me in like the old games)
Mario Kart Wii (Wii, I just never feel like playing its single player)
Rock Band 2 (360, Just missing one Achievement: Endless Setlist without pausing or failing)
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii, need to complete with Luigi)

Halo 3 was the secret final game for the Omegathon Darren Nakamura | 7:55 PM on 08.26.2007 15 comments

Super quick post, because they're shutting off the Internet in three minutes. The last two Omeganauts got to play some new maps on Halo 3, with a few new weapons. The maps were Guardian and Narrows. Guardian looked to me like an evolved Lockout. Narrows looked all new. A big bridge or something. One of the new weapons I saw was the Mauler, which looked like a low-ammo duel-wieldable shotgun. Another was the Gravity Hammer, which was like the staves the Brutes carry around at the end of Halo 2. One minute 'til Internet shuts off. Wish I could say more. Gabe won the Haloez. Bye bye.
