1. My name isn't Stewart. None of my names (First/Middle/Last) are Stewart. My real name is Daniel Rodriguez and my buddies call me Dan.
2. I'm only 19 years old, and by the time I'm done with college (if I don't fail a class) I won't even be 21 and I'll hopefully have a job in the game industry as a programmer.
3. I'm not good at holding on to money and it usually all goes to games, especially when it's an impulse buy like with games that I didn't have a chance to pick up when they first came out such as Burnout Paradise or Condemned 2.
4. I've never had a job. I've done small jobs for my mom's work and made some money that way, but so far in my life the only income I've had is mostly birthday/christmas money.
5. I'm a bit of a gamerscore whore, but I won't buy games just for gamerscore. I'll only try and get as much gamerscore as I possibly can in the games that I own.
6. My oldest memories of gaming are of the Back to the Future and Ghostbusters 2 games on the NES.
7. Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite game of all time (it was the second RPG I ever played but Saga Frontier doesn't count for me since I never got past the opening sequence for any of the characters) but I've never beaten it. I got to the final battle and could never beat it.
8. I own a Wii, but I don't think I've played any more than about 20 hours on the thing since I got it Christmas of 07.
9. Same goes for my PS3. Although I've spent more time on that than my Wii. I own Warhawk, MGS4, Uncharted and LBP but I've only beaten Uncharted. I've played maybe 2 or 3 hours of Warhawk and I'm only on the beginning of the second act (Brazil or something like that?) in MGS4.
10. The SNES is my favorite game console of all time. I have the most memories playing it. I also have it when people say "snes" like it's a word. Also, Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts is a bitch.
Well there it is, 10 things you probably didn't know about me.

Currently attending Full Sail for the Game Development (read: programming) Bachelor's Degree.
I've also begun working towards the eventual creation of a development studio, "Odd Man Out Studios", which I hope to start up with a couple of friends. http://www.oddmanoutstudios.net
Destructoid is an independently-run publication forged by our love of video games and the gaming community's need of accountable enthusiast press living the dream since March 16, 2006
Great list man. Good luck on the game programming career. :-)
Thanks silverdragon. I can't wait to get out in the world and start working on games.
Good list GOS. Now get SOCOM and join me on FNF sucka!
NIce! Maybe we will work together in the industry when I graduate high school ... then game design school.
Nice read. What is it about impulse buys and cheap games? I can't help myself, either.
I say SNES as a word, I think all British people do, you racist!
If you ask me, you're not a gamer until you've beaten Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts! Goddamn having to play through it TWICE to beat it . . . -_-'

SNES as a word is indeed god awful!
SNES IS the best console ever
10 Yes I hate it when people say snesss! It's the S N E S, Super N E S, or the Super Nintendo!
I second what Yojimbo said.
