About Me

edit

I am Samson and I Move the Bongos.

Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me.... Move!... The Bongos!... Move the Bongos. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, and have the only propeller cap. And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Move the Bongos. Either one, really. They both fit.

Your complete guide to Destructoid

Hello world and sorry for the clogging
Move the Bongos \| 12:17 PM on 02.05.2009	25 comments

Ok, so I posted four blog articles which I have written earlier on another blog hosted at wordpress and I got
heavy shitstains from the comments.

First of all I would like to make it clear that I am the author of all the texts, so there is no stealing going on.

Secondly there were a few comments telling me that spamming the feed isnt a good thing to do. For that I am
sorry.

My old blog is pretty much dead since I havent updated it for a while (like 7 months or so) and I wanted a new
place to continue from where I left off. Thus I posted the four texts here and I did it by copying and pasting
them all in 10 minutes or so.

Again, I am sorry for clogging.

An introduction might be in place.

My real name is Samson (as a lot of you have already figured out). I am a 27 years old and I am also the host
of a Swedish game podcast called Savepunkt. I have been gaming from earlier than I can remember and I like
to analyze and discuss games, hence the blog and the podcast.

Some quick facts:
First console: Colecovision
First game: Arkanoid clone
Favorite console: SNES
Mostly plays on: Xbox 360 and DS
Favorite game of all time: Zelda ALTTP
Playing right now: Puzzle quest (XBLA) and Mirrors Edge (360)

I am pretty new to the community at Destructoid but I have been a reader for a year or so. I am currently
enrolled at Malm� university and I am on the last semester towards a bachelors degree in Interaction Design.

Since my old blog is dead I am now moving all my writings here (well, that was the previous clogging, so that
part is done) and I intend to continue writing new material here and close down the old blog.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

MrSadistic

welcome to destructoid, you son of a bitch

I love you.

Haxan

Nicely done. You're a classy guy. Welcome.

Primo

Welcome.

What do you think of Mirrors Edge? I started playing it again last night (I got it for Christmas but never finished it). I think it's pretty decent.

Move the Bongos

I like Mirros edge. Could use some improvements in the combat but the running and the "level puzzles" are great. love the design as well.

If I had made it (and not my fellow Swedes at Dice) I would have handheld the aiming for the running abit more to make it easier to get into a flow. I have missed some jumps because of the lack of "autoaiming" in the jumping. Then again it would probably impact the framerate if the engine had to figure out what you are trying to do in every jump, and handcoding individual spots would be far to time consuming since there are so many ways of progressing each obstacle. I guess the sequel will have a more refined input-engine, or rather I hope.

Savepunkt? Genius.

Thank you for being courteous enough to apologize, and give us an intro blog. Hopefully, the caliber of writing I saw in those posts will be brought out in this cblog. Also, sory for yelling at you before.

Welcome to Destructoid. I like you, but not in that way.

Naim Master

I love you , but in a bro way , not in a hoe way like Sadistic ...

Funktastic

In terms of now reading this blog, I now retract my comment from one of your blogs from yesterday, and would like to welcome you to the community! Also, export more of your beautiful football loving blondes to Canada . . . I'll give them a good home! =D

Char Aznable

Thanks for being mature about all this, and for sticking with us despite the flaming. Welcome to Dtoid, man.

If you had spaced those out to one post per day, it wouldn't have been a problem at all. People bring stuff over from their other blogs all the time, so don't sweat it too much. There's just kind of a knee-jerk reaction to shit on someone when they overdo it.

Malm�?

I have a friend in Malm�.

Tubatic

WELCOME TO DESTRUCTOID!!!!!

See, I figured you didn't suck. You're aaaaalright!

Wednesday is Burnout Night, Tuesday is Poker Night, Friday is Fight (pause) Night.

Niero

I like this guy.

Lightthrower

Welcome buddy, sorry about not liking your name earlier, wasn't really sure it was your name... i find Bongo more handsome.

Also, make sure you get Killzone 2 like... RIGHT NAOW! I'm stuck at work :-(.

RICHARD BLOCKER

We forgive you, but if it happens again, I'll have to beat you with an extension cord.

mix

So nice of you to stay and not run away, that's how we "garden" round here!

Justice

That's better.

Demtor

I will kindly retract my "GTFO" comment, and now welcome you. Everyone deserves a second change. Continue not sucking, and I will give you hugs and puppies ^_^

Raccoonus

Welcome, and thanks for explaining your reasons a bit more!

JoshDunford

I called you a douchenozzle, but now I loff you.

liam2015

I agree with everyone, the apology is greatly appreciated.

Just don't suck anymore, and we'll get along fine.

BFeld13

All is forgiven. Please come over to my house for cookies.

Clance

Hmmm, turns out this guy is much cooler than any of us.

Welcome to Destructoid... Good article on the Game Over screen BTW. Oh, by the way, read my blogs and you'll be fine.

AgentMOO

It's all good, welcome to Dtoid!

njsykora

Very rare to find someone who'll recognise and acknowledge the mistake. I hope you stick around but one pointer, space out the paragraphs with a few pictures. People around here rarely go through massive walls of text.

elsteveo

Don't read clance's blogs unless you are infatuated with killzone 2 and i see you play 360. Yeah you should stay away he will eat your babies for not playing on PS3.
