About Me
My real name is Lucien.

I'm a goof....some of my friends say I'm pretty cool.

I love games, gaming, the industry and everything involved. From what makes them work, the experience, and the history behind it all. I love it more than you can fathom, and it honestly, truly runs deeper than any petty system allegiance, fanboyism, or bias.

I also love to write about them. Call me a journalist.

(lol, hubris.)

My old blog (2005- Early 2009) lies at:

http://blog.myspace.com/expertpenguin

My new one is Actualized Pixels

I've been around Destructoid since it started, witnessed every stage of their evolution with pride and admiration, but unfortunately, I've been more of a lurker than anything else. I visit every few hours and have felt the urge to comment and yell for a while, but after that MASSIVE password change we had a while back, my computer stopped logging me in automatically and a few computer changes/crashes+laziness kept me from logging back in for a LONG time.

I still love you guys. All of ya. Even the ones I haven't met yet.

'Tis why I have my name back, after all.

Perhaps I should update my Cblog...

It is, of course, the God of War: Chains of Olympus package for the PSP, that I expected.

So I tear this beast open, and look for my swag.

Omega insignia doohickey -- check.

Best Buy Coupon -- Check

Demo? -- Check.

What I didn't expect, however, was this.


Dear Lucien,

Enclosed you will find your God of War--


I stopped reading. The rest of the letter became irrelevant.

Wait.

Does that say my NAME?!

Mind you, this is printed on the packaging itself. Not some slip in letter, not some email, My name is on the fucking demo packaging.

Holy shit.

This means that while this particular packaging was being printed en masse, my name was SPECIFICALLY printed on THIS package.

I'm never throwing it out.

Ever.

Impressions soon, along with a few other things I've been doing.

@aborto

I don't think she is getting overexcited, she was just suprised to see that they personlized the package, which I also think is really cool.

Yep mine says Lucien to! Lucien is just a term used to refer to you as a common mortal. Is is cool your real name is Lucien though. For the same reasons I'm excited about Craigs list... or ashamed. I just don't know what to feel?
