About


When not protecting the world from the injustices on all things non-awesome, I have some time to play some games. Not much time, but I do what I can. There's a lot of non-awesome in the world, so myself and the rest of the members of Team Awesome stay quite busy.

Also, I live in San Francisco, so if you're in the area or see me around say hi. I promise I won't bite. I work full-time for two different video game related companies. At one I test the vidja games. At the other I do PR for video games. Eventually I will only be doing the PR gig, so I'll finally have some free time in which I can return to hosting RetroforceGO!

I'd tell you the names of the companies, but I think the one I test for would probably have a hissy fit if their legal department knew there was a Destructoid Associate Editor in their testing department ;)


Random bullshit:

I like pizza rolls
Diet Pepsi is win
I have a yellow Cuban pimp suit



I'm Scorpio
SNES was prolly my most favorite system
I have a cape and wear it often
I do not like banana flavored candy of any kind
I drink beer from brown paper bags
Weezer's El Scorcho pretty much describes me
You can always crash on my couch
I flip a coin like Two-face to make decisions

How 'bout them apples? Walking into Goodwill today yielded a higher bounty of awesome than usual. Maybe the retro god that lives underneath the store is giving me an early birthday gift (my birthday is tomorrow the 25th), or maybe it's just another day in the life of Team Awesome's most retro member?

Who cares, because you never question the awesome!

Gotten for $3.49 each:

[i]Super Metroid

FFII

FFIII

Secret of Mana

Kirby Super Something 8 Game Adventure Thing

Actraiser 2

Secret of Evermore

Breath of Fire[/i]

Now that's the way to start an awesome weekend of awesome!

Excellent haul, and happy early birthday!
Oh. my... See, I started going to goodwill after listening to RFGO in the early days. Best they had was tomb raider for PC. Awful. I envy you. Best wishes on ur g'day and much more retro in your future.
It's official your goodwill is the greatest place on earth. Also happy birthday
It's official, you are the second coming of Jesus. Get to savioring.
I hate you and your ridiculous luck.

Also, Happy Early Birthday Bro. Drink plenty of alcoholic fluids.
Happy birthday, man. Your loyal Retroforce listeners beseech you to return soon.
don't you already have those?
OH MY GOD.......
This story has made me hard.
Happy Birthday
Good for you! Now go back to editing RFGO! The laugh audio levels are off the scale and I can't listen to it anymore.
I'm glad I score such awesome stuff in the future. How about you ship that copy of Secret of Mana to the past so I can enjoy it?
I am so damn jealous of you, Dyson.

Also, happy birthday!
If I had those already, I'd pick em up again for 3.50 a pop!!
Holy crap. What are you going to do with those? I know for a fact that you already own Super Metroid and Kirby Superstar, because I played them at your house. Planning for a contest, or just impulse buying because they were such great deals?
you son of a bitch. Lucky haul!

Also, I have some super sad news: I have a nasty stomach flu, (among other things that Tactix will fill in for you), so I won't be able to make it tomorrow! I'm so sorry! But seriously, we're gonna chill, especially since I've got some kick-ass news, that, once again, you'll have to get from Tactix.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Happy birthday though man, may your BBCode fail continue for many years to come.
Cheap price
I keep finding street fighter 2, star wars, mario world, Final Fight, boring sports.
happy birthday dyson!

also, awesome finds. i gotta find the nearest good will store by me and raid that crap up and down.
You are truly a god among men when it comes to acquiring awesome shit from Goodwill. Happy birthday, you lucky bastard!
I fail at BBC code, but win at awesome. I <3 you guys!!!

Final Fight rules! DO WANT!

Some of these will be gifts, some will be ....

When, not if, I come back to the show, it will overload everything we've done before. Of course, only with the help of my incredibly awesome friends :)
Happy birthday!
I don't even know what to say, Goodwill knows exactly what to get you.
Nice one and happy bday dude!
HO-LY SHIT!
That's a hell of a birthday present. Good finds and good birthday to you sir.

(I miss the aaaaaaannnddd welcome)
Happy Birthday Dyson! =D
Could you do me a favor and go check and see if they have an Atari 2600?


Lucky bastard.


Have a great birthday mon! Mine ist tomorrow, brotha! n_n
nice haul
happy birthday
mines is on the 6th
Happy birthday Dyson! May the retro gods smile upon you everyday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

DAY DAY DAY! PLAY PLAY PLAY!

BEAT THE GAME, HAPPY BIRTHDA-A-A-A-AY!

I love you, mister trainwreck of awesome. I hope next time I see you is before pax.
Man, all my Goodwill ever has is Golden Girls styled old lady blouses and souvenier ashtrays.
Damn! I would love to live next to your Goodwill.

Also happy birthday.
Happy Birthday! Thats an awesome haul :D See you later tonight!
SO JEALOUS
MERRY BIRTHDAY YO! ^_^ Damn . . . I got all of those from my "cheap retro game" place, but not even close to those awesome prices, and still no Secret of Mana . . . -_-' . . . kickass haul though!
O MAH GAWD! I wish I had your goodwill, that's almost disgusting it's so good.
Jesus, the best I've found at my Goodwill is Twisted Metal 2 for PC.

Happy Fucking Birthday indeed!
WOW! Happy birthday!
Obviously your Goodwill has been blessed by Jesus!

And happy birthday, Dyson! ^_^
yeah....my Goodwill isn't even open yet.

Happy B-Day and that is a freaking haul you picked up.
Happy B-day! Please hurry back to RFGo! They're doing an admirable job without you, but the next time I hear "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand welcome, to RetroforceGO!" in your voice, I'll probably have to change my pants!
Happy Early Birthday,
Also - kirby superstar for just >$3.00? Good find
$3.49 each?! Holy smokes! You sir, are the winner. Congrats and Happy Birthday!

I paid over seven times that for both Secret of Evermore and Final Fantasy 3. And ActRaiser 2 is just pure win in itself.

It's not often you can get these games cheaper in physical cart form versus the Virtual Console.
Awesome catch! And happy birthday!
WHAT THE FUCK HOW
The Goodwill near me in Greenwood Indiana has some dirty underwear if anyone is looking. Also, a couple Thriller cassettes and a nice brown 30 cassette holder for said jewels...oh yeah, and a broken fishing pole.
