About Me
I live in Maine.

I like playing in the snow.

I love playing video games. Especially retro games, but I appreciate modern ones as well. The first game I ever played was Pool of Radiance back in the 80s. After saving the city of Phlan I was hooked for life. But Link to the Past remains the greatest game ever.

Currently shmups have displaced RPGs in my gaming life, but I still have a soft spot for Chrono Trigger.

Digital Slaves:

Genesis
Saturn
Dreamcast
PS2
Gamecube
Nintendo 64
Xbox (Magical)

I like Euroboard games. Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Bohnanza, Samurai, these are fine things.

Random Fact: I am a curmudgeonly old man who studies English grammar in his spare time. Someday I aspire to write good.

And I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those meddling kids!

This contest was great fun. I had a feeling that I'd not overcome Thornnn but I had fun trying. I hope I entered the Destructoid community with a splash. Also, my digital Christmas cards were amazing this year. Congrats to Thornnn and all the other runner ups. I can't wait to see the mystery prizes.

Looks like it's back the drawing board for the next contest. You guys haven't heard the last of me.


Thankfully, I had a contingency gaming plan in case my giant snow phalli did not appease the Destructoid overlords.




Sure, you may not be able to build towers of exploding barrels but you can name a ship the "Stout Trout" and ravage the Spanish Main. There's never been a better time to give your retro games some love. They don't get older, just more venerable.

Let the proud tradition of building snow penises continue next year.



Ride the lightning man!

P.S. Maine holds the world record for the largest snowman ever. Maybe it's time to start thinking really big.

Thanks man. I had planned to build two rings of cocks surrounding Mr. Destructoid but only had two days in December when it was warm enough to build. There's always next year.
