About

Myself:

I am a Ph. D. chemist from the University of California, Berkeley. I have been playing videogames since as long as I can remember! My past favorite games include Secret of Mana, TMNT: Turtles in Time, the Resident Evil series (Jill is SUCH as master of unlocking), FFVII, Smash Bros Melee, and many others.

I've definitely gone through phases in my gaming "career". I used to LOVE fighting games in the time of Tekken Tag and Marvel vs Capcom II (my favorite fighting game), but now I find myself drawn to the more story driven games, and very recently, the music games....:)

But....fighting games are making a comeback! SFIV! MvC3! BlazBlue! Beware everyone, Tactix has put a quarter on the screen and is challenging you for battle!

It was mere chance that brought me to Destructoid back in early 2007, and through it all I've stayed because of the great writing staff, a community that cares, and lots of new internet and IRL friends. Destructoid has changed my life. True story.

A Very Special Birthday Story.....by Tactix

One day there was a guy named Ben PerLee. He got dressed all fancy pants like this:

But then his umbrella broke...

and it made Ben like this:

And he decided to take a nap in sadness, but his friends came over to surprise him like this!

and this!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! They said, and made him a funfetti cake like this:

The END

------------------------

Happy Birthday goes out to one of my best friends on Destructoid, Mr. Ben PerLee. He is turning 22 today so make sure to wish him a happy birthday and post as many chicken pictures in the comments.
