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.

In case you missed it (I know I did), 1UP did a giant week-long retrospective on the work of Yukio Futatsugi, the guy who did all the Panzer Dragoon games and the Xbox's Phantom Dust. (Oh, and the producer of Panzer Dragoon Orta, Takayuki Kawagoe.) There isn't a new Panzer Dragoon in the works, but Futatsugi just returned to active game development and 1UP figured it'd look back at one of gaming's best kept secrets.
Worth a look for lots of interesting interviews and info about a series you probably didn't play (I know I didn't) but should.

Oh year, Panzer Dragoon doesn't look that shabby either.
SF64 wins due to barrel rolls. But Orta wins in just about every other way.
It's too bad the Yukio guys don't respect the Wii, because the gameplay would be perfect for the Wii-Pointer.
Nothing in the genre of on rails shooter has ever come close to matching them...
The music, the game art and character designs are all bloody artistic...
Panzer Dragoon 1 - Not an easy game, has aged but its a 1st wave 32bit game made during 1994-1995
Panzer Dragoon Zwei- Came not long after, but with solid frame-rate great graphics improved gameplay, insane stage design, multiple routes and so much more... wonderful
Panzer Dragoon Saga- one of my favourite games, Grandia and This have my 2 favourite battle systems ever put into an RPG, its a very very short game for an rpg, but oh so memorable...
Panzer Dragoon Orta- Still frigging beautiful today, better than some of the shit i've played on the 360/ps3, No Xbox(or wii game now) has matched its beauty and looks...
Also the wii pointer is too sluggish and inprecise for Panzer Dragoon...
the Panzer Dragoon games were never meant to be easy games and required skill and mastery... wiimote would be a hinderance...
Just don't put the pandora's box version of them on...
They were just silly lol
