Scary Womanizing Pig Mask loves me.

10 things that may help you to understand me better.

I'm proud to be the Cblog Recapper for Mondays. I still haven't figured out how to get it done in a timely manner, though.






Check out Video Game Voters and your local chapter of the E.C.A. if you're old enough to vote. Salience is important to politicians.


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 months 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. Connected to my TV are a Wii, recently purchased PS3, N64, and the original NES My brother and I bought ourselves 20-odd years ago. I'm almost never more than 50 feet from my DS. My rapidly aging computer nearly had a heart attack when I tried to run the Bioshock demo. Gears of War frankly took a bat to the poor thing, and it hasn't been the same since. Despite this 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.

If you're a regular to Destructoid you may have seen my name in connection with a couple of CTZ's YTMND Thursday posts. 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.
