About Me

I graduated high school in 2008 with a Core 40 Diploma while also graduating from Hoosier Hills Career Center with training in office applications and business management. I later enrolled in Ivy Tech where I studied PC Support and Administration. After finishing a few semesters I decided that it wasn't really what I wanted to do. I am now unemployed and have no idea what profession I will eventually end up in.

I've always had a passion for video games. The earliest memory I have was of me playing Kirby Super Star on the SNES. I couldn't figure out how to kill boss so my uncle decided to help me. I guess you could say gaming runs in my family, as that same uncle is into his late 30s and still enjoys the thrill of video games, and so do his three sons. That's not all, both of my little brothers AND my mother are also into video games quite intensely. We are one big, happy family of gamers.

Over the years I've owned just about every major video game console and even some odd ones. At the beginning I'd have to say that I was strictly Nintendo, but I've grown to accept the fact that other companies also have great products.

My favorite video game genres are RPG and FPS, but I usually play a little bit of everything.

Favorite video game series include: The Elder Scrolls, The Legend of Zelda (Wind Waker being my favorite), Call of Duty, Mario, Grand Theft Auto, Battlefield, Pokemon, and many others.

Other interests include: Computers, Graphic Design, Web Design, Video Editing, Photography, Journalism, Creative Writing, Reading, Music, Movies, Television, and Cheese.

I'll try to update this blog every so often. My life isn't that exciting so I don't usually have anything interesting to talk about.


Games I am currently playing:
- Minecraft
- Red Dead Redemption
- Fable III (I miss the original)
- Saints Row 2
- Borderlands and all of the add-ons
- Pokemon Black

Games I am looking forward to:
- TES V: Skyrim
- Saints Row The Third
- Modern Warfare 3
- Battlefield 3
- Pokemon Grey(?)

You Gotta Fricken' Play This - Happy Wheels PreacherMan89 | 7:35 AM on 09.24.2010 2 comments

(Not my video, but it's fucking amazing.) Every once in a while there comes a game that is so incredibly addicting it basically becomes the most important thing in you life at that moment. One of those games is Happy Wheels, a flash game where you take control of one out of four (more soon to come) characters and try to make it to the other side of a course. Each character has a special ability that you may use to complete your goal, whether it be the rocket on Wheelchair Guy's wheelchair, the jumping ability or the Segway Guy, Irresponsible Dad's brakes, or the Efficient Shopper's super jump. The levels are all user created (I haven't dove into the level editor yet, so I don't know the ease of use at this moment), so you can expect some serious carnage in the way of traps. When picking a level you are able to sort though them by playable characters, rating, or play count so picking a well-made course is as easy as sorting them via rating. Although most of them are decent difficulty wise, every once in a while you will come across the impossible. If you plan on playing this game be aware that it is pretty resource heavy, so playing it on an older computer is not recommended, but is possible if you turn off the gore, lower the video quality, and enable compressed textures via the options menu. So what are you waiting for? Go play it already! (http://www.totaljerkface.com/happy_wheels.php)
