About Me

Yo. I just graduated from Syracuse University, with a major in Television/Film at the Newhouse School.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.

GTA IV: Day 1 + Necros Updates Bob Muir | 8:13 PM on 05.01.2008 12 comments

Hello Destructoid. I've missed you lately. But now that finals are over, I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time with you guys. For starters, look to see the return (again) of Rantoid, moar comments, and hanging out more in IRC and, yes, even Vent. Because IRL social lives are so overrated. In the meantime, gaze upon that which I spent $90 on and won't be able to touch for 30 days. I actually want to thank dvddesign for this, because I was expecting to have to jump right into GTA IV this month, having never played the Xbox Trilogy I've had on my shelf for a year. Now I have an entire month to play these games before I probably never touch them again. Initial impressions of GTA III: fucking christ, I hate these controls. Because I know you all love them so much, I should be able to whip up an Illustrated Review of the results of my consumer whorism. Gimmie a little time, though. This "freetime" feels quite foreign.
