About Me

'Teaches You Things' Series:

Modurn Warfairz

Grand Auto Thiefman

Jakuzi 3

Who am I? Well, I am many things.

A mentor? A motivator? A free spirit?

None of those things are what I am.

What I am am is just your average guy. Living out my life in relative peace, trying to make a living in this rough and tumble world. An aspiring game designer, you might call me, I wast...erm...spend 2.5 years of my life going to school for said aspiration as well. What will come of this dream? Hell if I know.

But beyond that, I'm your typical gamer. I play a bit of everything, here and there. Anything from shooters to obscure Japanese fare is in my history, I've also been found scrolling through lines of Japanese dialogue, pretending like I can read it. Pretty fun, right?

I'm a 360 guy mainly, it serves as my main platform. I also have a PS3 and a Wii of course, along with several other consoles which I will list below because, well, I feel like it. Listing things passes the time, makes the world go round.

As I said, shooters and action games grab my attention mostly, I do dabble in RPGS (but never seem to finish them) as well as adventure games and the like. I'll play and enjoy just about anything, so long as it isn't an MMO. I have stories about that, but I'll tell you later.

Some of my favorite games of all time?

Jet Set Radio
Shenmue
Phantasy Star Online
Dig Dug
Ouendan
Phoenix Wright
Trauma Center
Taiko No Tatsujin
Metal Gear Solid
Halo Trilogy
Katamari Damacy (+ Sequels)

Mass Effect
Deus Ex
Phantom Crash

There are several more, but too many to list here. I own several systems, most of which I don't find the time to play.

Xbox 360 (Modern Warfare 2)
Xbox 360 (Resident Evil 5)
Xbox 360 HD-DVD Drive
PS3 40GB
Wii
Xbox
PS2 Slim
PSX
PSP (Carnival Bright Yellow)
DSi (Black)
Dreamcast
Sega Saturn
GBC (Pokemon)
GBC (Translucent Purple)
GBA SP (Nintendo Classic)
Nintendo 64 (Black, Gold)
Nintendo 64 (Pikachu Edition)
Game Gear
Super NES
NES
Retro Duo
Neo Geo Pocket (Camo)
Neo Geo Pocket Color (Silver)
Colecovision (+ Atari 2600 adapter)

I have a modest collection of games for most of them, I buy more every now and then when money allows, and I'm always looking for more. It's a bit of a hobby, I guess. An expensive one at that. Favorite system would have to be the Dreamcast. Why? I'll write a blog about it someday. Next to that would be my 64.

I own a Power Glove as mandated by Nerd Law.

So if you can't tell by now I'm somewhat of an addict. I usually go out of my way to own or secure unusual or rare looking video game stuff, and sometimes wind up buying things just for the sake of owning them. Why do I have a Japanese Guncon 2? I'm not sure yet.

So there you have it, that's me. I'm a pretty friendly guy, I suppose. I like tacos, anime and long walks on the beach. Just your average person, right?

I like to think so.

Holy crap, I got this thing at this place. RenegadePanda | 6:30 PM on 03.06.2010 18 comments

In an attempt to build up an adequate fail blog streak, I present the following. If Bioshock 2 CE for 77 bucks wasn't good enough, now I found this at a far away Bookmans. Something that immediately got me more excited that whatever that last thing was, because this is way cooler. I swear to god this will be the last pointless 'look at this' blog I write, ever. Promise. And I'll work on a new 'Teaches you things' sometime tonight or tomorrow. Promise. NOW OMG HOLY CRAP LOOK! Straight from a distant planet known as 1981, this thing is loaded with a 4 level, shameless rip off of Galaxian. It has 4 difficulties and buttons, plus a working stick thingy! To my surprise, this thing still works like it was new, which it almost is. It's like a giant ball of awesome 1980's video game nostalgia in one small (well, large) package. But don't take my word for it, read the box! Looking back at this produces what is likely the biggest video game marketing related laugh you'll ever laugh. Now I love Galaxian and Galaga as much as the next guy, but I would love to find a 1980's person and have them tell me how 'exciting' and 'ultra modern' this game is. I know, technology back then was different but still. I love this thing, actually. It plays just like you'd expect, you move the ship and shoot lazors at aliens that ride dangerously on the line between the words 'copyright' and 'infringement' if those words even existed back then. The sheer fact that this thing was made 6 years before I was born is reason enough for me to own it. This peice of plastic is older than I am, still in better shape, and works a hell of a lot more efficiently than I do. Awesome! Plus, it uses something called a 'C' battery, which I assumed were weeded out due to natural selection. I went to find these archaic devices and had (yes, HAD) to buy 8 of them, since that was the only quantity and brand they sold them in. It's fun to, because these batteries have the same GPA I had in high school. So yeah, this thing is my new 1981 baby. Oh, did I mention it makes 'realistic' 1981 explosions and sounds? YEAH! AND DID YOU SEE THAT ADVANCED AI? It has like 6 different modes of movement. Neat! Attached photos:
