My name is Diaport. I enjoy long walks along the beach, a quiet, fancy dinner and someone who can bring a smile to my face when I'm at my lowest, and...
What? This isn't for that sort of thing? God dammit.
Okay, let's try that again.
My name is Diaport. And I fucking love videogames. Growing up, I played the hell out of MegaMan 2 and 3, Super Mario Bros. and so on, then moved onto other awesome games. As a little kid, you know when your stay-at-home-dad would give you story time? He played Final Fantasy 1 and my two brothers and I would watch in awe. Talk about story time.
We weren't a Nintendo family, though. We were always fortunate to get more and more. Soon after that, we got the Genesis. Then the Super Nintendo. Didn't get the Sega CD or any of the stupid Genesis add-ons. Years went by and I remember after coming home from the hospital once (I was one sick kid), I came home to a Nintendo 64. Nothing is more awesome than having pneumonia, coming home and having the newest game system still in the box, waiting for you. Well, y'know, family thing, wasn't completely mine.
After that, you know. Playstation, Gamecube and Dreamcast, PS2, X-Box, two Wiis, 360, PS3, another 360.. We don't like sharing anymore, 'nuff said.
I'm not too picky when it comes to game genres. If it's not a sports game, I'll play it (Samit must be the only person to ever like sports games, haha). RPG, platform, FPS, I'll play (and do horribly on) RTS, uhh.. Jeez. My favorite games are too many, but I guess I'll throw a list out there.
MegaMan 2/3/9, Resident Evil Remake/2/3/Zero, Pokemon Yellow/Silver/Platinum, pretty much the whole Touhou series (Though they're near fucking impossible), and Final Fantasy 1/3/4/7, though the only one I've beaten is FF7.
I currently work at a gas station doing overnight shifts. It's not a horrible job, really, since most of the work is putting up with my boss (Which is surprisingly hard). The best part about it is that I'm allowed to bring my laptop with me, and with the wireless signal, I'm able to connect to the internet. Since I sleep at day, I usually come to Dtoid during the night to read the stories and, now, to post blogs, I suppose.
Anyways, I have a question for you guys. I'm getting myself a Wii points card and Microsoft points card tomorrow. After Castle Crashers and Pulseman, what games should I get?

Please write many blogs late at night.
Also the RE love is dugg...by me...yeahhhh.
I'll do my best to give you guys some blogs, but if anything, you'd be getting my two cents on the news on Dtoid, since I don't really go anywhere else for news. If I had more time for gaming, I'd gladly give you guys some reviews.
Fantastic intro blog, dude. I was also a rather sick kid myself in my youth, but I was fortunate to have a cool hospital. I remember being in the hospital for about a week once, and about two days in, the hospital staff wheeled in an N64 cart with a TV on it, and the games, and everything. It was a thing of beauty.
one love
@SLAYER THE PLAYER; I can say that I love Sega, but we never really got the Sega CD and 36X and whatever else they made. Sonic 3 and Knuckles was all we needed for the Genesis. I'd like to try either of those out sometime, though.
... Maybe I should buy them tomorrow...
JT ICEFIRE: I already have it. I don't play it much though, I just suck at it. I'm thinking I'll grab Tetris Party, though.
And thanks for the welcomes, everyone.
The nice thing about XBLA is you can check out the demos:
The Dishwasher, Galaga Legions, Geometry Wars Evolved², Bionic Commando: ReArmed, the Penny Arcade episodes, PowerUp Forever, REZ HD, Rocket Riot, R-Type Dimensions
