About Me

Scary Womanizing Pig Mask loved me. Wherever you've gone, I hope you're in a better place.

Beyamor's avatar fathered mine's love child at PAX East. It's ok though, 'cuz he gave me a picture of a Kirby as child support. Cheap bastard...



I inspired a song. (Thanks, Alphadeus!)


I am an element of Destructoid. (Thanks, Corduroy Turtle!)

10 things that may help you to understand me better.

I used to be the Cblog Recapper for Mondays. It was a good run.



May want to stay out of the old stuff. I didn't know what I was doing when I started here.
Like most other D-toiders I am male, 15 to 30 something, introverted to the point of social ineptitude, and grew up obsessing over whatever videogames I came across-- somewhat to the chagrin of my parents. I have about 9-10 gigs (yes, GIGS) of hard drive space devoted to game music, original soundtracks and remixes alike (Much love for OCRemix ). I've logged many, many hours into World of Warcraft, though I cancelled my account and have been "clean" for nearly a year now. I am a moderately slavering Nintendo fan because-- let's be fair... they were easily the biggest influence in my formative years. Because of this, it is my belief that Smash Bros. Brawl was created specifically for me. The fact that the rest of you may enjoy it is merely coincidence.

I am something of a stickler for both grammar and punctuation, and the use of "LOL" and its truncated ilk sometimes causes me to cringe. Fairly warned be ye, says I.



I work and go to college part time, which is a strain on both my finances and my free time. As such, my gaming collection isn't as up-to-date as I'd like. Somehow, I have managed to obtain a Wii, PS3, and a 360. My favorite console, however, is still the original NES My brother and I bought ourselves 20-odd years ago. I'm almost never more than 50 feet from my DS. I just replaced my computer's innards, and have found that I have more PC games to catch up on than time to do it in. I manage to stay current on most games by visiting friends with other systems, and the ancient art of borrowing. And that's a nice thing about games... if you miss `em you can go back to them years later and they're just the same as they ever were.

I tend to be more of a lurker than a contributor, but if I see something I think is particularly humorous or worthy, I do enjoy sharing.

Donate to a good cause, chance at free WoW for life Qalamari | 9:40 PM on 12.27.2008 5 comments

It's been far too long since I've written anything here, and although this isn't an original story, it's nice to be blogging again now that the holiday craziness is in the past. Anyway. I saw this on Ctrl- Alt-Del this afternoon and thought it deserves as much exposure as possible. Katherine Allen is a Blizzard employee, and in the spirit of the season is participating in a charity marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It's a great cause, but the reason this may be relevant to your interests is that if her target of $5500 is raised she'll be giving away a card with 300 months of WoW on it to one of the donators. That works out to 25 years of looting Murloc snouts and /dancing in Ironforge. Even if you don't win the grand prize there's a chance at a free year of World of Warcraft for three donators. You can check out all the relevant information here. I know times are tough but it's a worthy cause and quite a valuable prize. Q
