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?

I love you
Hooray for night-shifting gas men! Welcome.
I love you too.

Please write many blogs late at night.

Also the RE love is dugg...by me...yeahhhh.
Wow, I'm already loved. Does this count as polygamy? If so, sign me up.

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.
Oh I see wut u did thar.

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.
well i hate you. let me rephrase that, I FUCKING HATE YOU!! ok i dont mean that, but how dare you speak ill of the genesis add-ons i loved my sega cd.

one love
@JLANPHEAR; Thanks a lot. When I was in the hospital (CHEO, the big hospital in Ottawa, Canada), I was able to borrow the N64 to try out Mario 64, which was amazing at the time. Then they only had the Super Nintendo, which only had StarFox in it.

@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...
very true sonic and knuckles and sonic 2&3 is all you need for a genesis. some say sonic cd is the best sonic game ever, i would only go as far as to say very good sonic 3 & knuckles will always be my favorite and really anything else on cd is only good cause its so bad, sewer shark is a personal terrigle favorite. never had the 32x but always wanted on. i would go buy them tomorrow but cant afford to.
It's been an entire day and I still love you.
Welcome to dtoid.. and get Worms 2, you'll find you can always go back to it when you feel like multiplayer but not an FPS.
Nice intro blog! :)
and with those Wii points, go get yourself World of Goo. Welcome aboard!
THETOILETDUCK: Alright, Worms 2 it is.

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.
WiiWare: Gradius ReBirth if you dig shmups
