About Me

I've been playing video games since as long as I can remember, cutting my teeth on great arcades and the Atari 2600, then moving my way up through the 7200, the Commodore 64, the NES, and so on and soforth. I like to play video games as much as time allows (I'm a workin' man) and I guess now I'll try to blog about it for the reading pleasure of whoever happens to be wandering by.
For about 7 years now, I've been working in retail and while I don't work for some major, corporate video games outlet, video games are a significant portion of the business in my store, so I have all the wonderful experiences of retail hell that most people who work in those environments have.
Current systems I game on:
Xbox 360
PSP
Nintendo DS
iPod Touch (Which I guess technically counts since it has quite a few games and is becoming quite the little platform)

I don't own a Wii or PS3 as neither of them really interest me at the moment and I wouldn't even remotely have enough time for all these games to justify the purchase.

Why I Love Destructoid Despite The Fact That He Never Calls. Reverend Macro | 10:20 PM on 08.24.2009 6 comments

I'm kinda a newbie round these parts, so I honestly can't give a heartfelt, impassioned letter to all the users out there that have made me a happy man, although the people I've run into since being here have been spiffy. Actually, I know why I love Destructoid: So few people take things too seriously here. I spent years on Usenet before the advent of what we now know as WEB 1.0, and people were such fucking idiots all the time with their impassioned defense of their favorite consoles or games or whatever and if you dare pointed out a criticism they would threaten to kill your family or whatever. That shit got so old. I hate people who take games so seriously that treat it like some kind of damn holy and sacred institution that will utterly collapse into oblivion if it is not defended vigorously. So, I guess thanks to everyone (well, most people) on Destructoid remembering they're just damn games.
