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.

My Birthday video

11:57 PM on 09.20.2010

Hey guys!

This past weekend was a very special day, namely my BIRTHDAY! One of the benefits of being a community manager for a city group (especially one as big as SF) is that when I decide to have a birthday party, we have a FREAKING BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Anyway, I just wanted to share with you all a video of the way DtoidSF does birthday parties, shot and edited by Nick Hutchins. Check it out below!

Thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes! I love you all! <3 <3 <3

Glad to see things went awesome! Of course I had no doubts that they would. I wish I lived closer so I could have at least stopped by for 30 minutes or something. Also, that story has traumatized me for life.
