1.Palidi studied Tae Kwon Do when he was younger.

He reached black belt rank 1 status before the dojo he trained at closed down. He has since forgotten most of his techniques, and fights with a mix of what little he can remember of the martial arts, and fighting moves that he thinks look cool from video games(he's kind of a coward though, so don't expect to see this often).

2.Palidi has a Sonic the Hedgehog plushie(Sonic Adventure era),

and loves it dearly. He once even threw it to safety to protect it when confronted by a thug at an anime convention(he amazingly didn't get beat up himself either). He also has a classic Sonic plushie which has been put into storage to preserve the condition.

3.Palidi gets homesick easilly.

He goes home from college every weekend because he misses home so much. Eh, that new HDTV his parents got in the living room has nothing to do with it either, seriously.

4.Palidi really REALLY...like Metal Gear Online

Seriously! Took him roughly 6 months to buy another PS3 game.

5.Palidi almost drown at the bottom of a pool when he was an infant

He also got tangled in pool floats upside down in the same pool as an infant. Man, he sure has some bad luck with pools.

6.Palidi once played The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion...

on PC running at 12-15 fps for so long that, for a while, he could only perceive the world at 15 frames per second(seriously, his eyes got screwed up for about an hour. Remember kids, take breaks from your games every so often to avoid eye strain.).

7.Palidi once went shopping at a street bazaar in Nicaragua

He picked up a Japanese copy of the Playstation versions of Megaman 1-3 while there. He's pretty sure they weren't legit though...

8.Palidi wasn't born in the United States of America

His father is an American though, so he was born one too. He was brought to Central Florida before he was a year old, and he as grown up there since. He was born in an English speaking South American country called Guyana(formerly British Guyana), and is descended from a Native American tribe that lives in the area.

9.Palidi has been around on Destructoid for quite a while.

He's pretty good at lurking though, so you may not have heard of him. How long's it been now for him? Two, no three years? Something like that.

10.Palidi wrote this blog post because everyone else made one

And he's kind of an attention whore who wanted to play with some of the cool kids. The fact that he had nothing better to do and is procrastinating had nothing to do with it, seriously!
