About Me

My Twitter and my Tumblr, yo in the event you want to pester me, to give me advice/ideas for stuff, or to see me post artwork not entirely game-related. Mostly if you want to pester me.

What if I've finally turned into what they've always said I would turn into? A maniac. A psycho killer. A guy who enjoys quoting Sin City.

In a brief description, I play all genres of games. My personal favorites are and always will be platformers and shoot 'em ups. Galaga is probably the first shoot 'em up I have ever played and still manages to hold my attention to this day. Platformers, jeez, far too many for me to name. There are a few FPSs I like, but only if they manage to be different enough from the rest. I have my fair share of fun with other genres as well. Except fighters, I tend to be pretty bad at those but it still doesn't put a hamper on the amount of fun I can get from them.

I was born in 1990, my first video game system was a Sega Genesis and it was probably the best thing I had ever had the chance to play. As the years went, as did my interest in the video games field. Parents and relatives usually got me game consoles for birthday and christmas gift, you wouldn't believe how excited I was when I got my first SNES. My older brother and I did all we could to pool money together to buy GameBoys (Possibly a GameGear at some point as well) and eventually the Playstation 1 and 2. I can safely say that I have interacted with every Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Microsoft, and a few Atari consoles and handhelds at least once. As of now, I still play games as often as I can, despite my game library has not been expansive as it once was when I was in my "prime." Since GameFly and various other rental places popped up, I have still been able to keep playing to my heart's content.

As of now, college usually eats up some days. Whenever I'm not doing college activities, I am improving my drawing abilities, watching movies, expanding my musical tastes both new and old, partying with friends, eating cultural food and, of course, playing games.

And I am a sucker for just about anything film noir, enough so that I occasionally write in that style. Rad stuff.

You know what, I need to get this off my chest Jack Maverick | 4:58 PM on 05.31.2010 10 comments

Since it's not only been a while since I've posted a blog here, but also that there is a particular event occurring by this week's end, I figured now would be a good time to write something that I've thought hard about over this past weekend. Ashley, Anthony, thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Ashley, since the day I posted that first art piece on my blog for the first time, your comment (and the fact that the same picture is still in your sidebar no less) as well as every other Dtoider who responded helped give me the inspiration I needed to help me pursue my interest in drawing. I have had several ups and quite a few downs this past year, but I still kept going, continuously finding ways to improve on what I did (and do now). Your kind words in a few of my past blogs were motivation enough to keep me going and still do. I can't give you enough appreciation for this. Anthony, from the first video I ever saw you in, I thought you were a pretty cynical bastard (and I'm not going to lie, I still kind of do). But I won't lie, your words in your various rants and articles helped me see video games and other forms of media under a new light. And it was good timing as well, back then, my interest in gaming wasn't too high at that time, I was almost ready to hang up my controllers. Because of you, though, I managed to find not only different ways to enjoy video games, but also picked up in interest in checking some indie games. If not for you two, I'd probably be a guy who spouted memes all the time, griefing others for the sake of it. Okay, maybe nothing that extreme, but I definitely wouldn't have a skill that I'm constantly finding ways to improve on nor would I have as big of an interest in various media as I do now. Destructoid is very lucky to have two people like you. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you both the best. Attached photos:
