About Me
.:!|[INTRODUCTION]|!:.
How's it hanging nerdlings, geekettes, /b/asement-dwellers, stoners, web monkeys, indie devs, lurkers, trolls & industry fat cats?~
In case you don't know a lick about me, I joined Destructoid quite a few sunsets ago in the early Spring of 2008, when someone from the Internet kindly informed me that Destructoid would "eat your unborn babies". Having an insatiable taste for mucus-covered, unborn babies, I knew what I had to do. Plus, people were like "WHAT THE @#$% YOU TALKING BOUT MAN?!1! WE GOT XBOX AND PLAYSTATION BITCH NIGGAH!!1!" Naturally, I was in. Since then I lurke your forums, read your c-blawgs, listen to your podcasts and lul silently. Also, cocks.
!|[SEX DRUGS & PIXELS]|!
I've a soft spot for random acts of kindness, drawing, writing, bellydancing, raving, opening up mosh-pits, and not getting high but staying high. Like most people, I have a wide range of interests. I adore anything from goofy people, offensive jokes, zombie flicks, stand-up comedians, and mind-altering experiences, to comic books, sexual positivity, philosophy, mysteries, and general bizarreness.
Also, I'm a die-hard gamer and I have an animated eagerness for spilling pixelated blood and a never-ending appetite for slaughtering moving polygons. I like to think of myself as a fairly laid-back broad. I was born with a sarcastic mindset, dark sense of humor, and an uttermost weakness for impassioned babble sessions about any video game (8-bit to 1080p) to date. I may be unorganized, immature, and irresponsible but I’m the funnest chick you’ll have the chance to get teamed up with on xbox live.
You might spot me at any ol’ keg party with my signature tangled hair, ripped Hello Kitty pajama pants, and a battle-worn shirt. The girl who's most likely flapping her tongue, detailing the last minute curb stomp in her freshest match, growling about big corporations and government conspiracies, exploring the concept of eccentric theories or geeking out about some other irrelevant crap. The girl who strives to learn something new every day and genuinely enjoys turning strangers into friends.
That pathetic excuse for the girl next door, is me. If I’m not your cup of tea, you can not imagine the immensity of the fuck I do not give.

Last bit!~
Honestly, if you ever happen to have a hankering to just chill, blast some good jams & relish in lighthearted, videogame-related, blood-spraying with me... Hit me up. Shoot me a message if you want to talk about anything at all really, I'm a bit of an open book and not a bad listener, if I do say so myself. And hey~ If you let me, I’ll cheerfully put a couple of spiffy dreadlocks in your hair.

I stumbled upon this news article earlier. http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/548247/ Here are some key points from this "study" that pissed me off: ---"It may be that young adults remove themselves from important social settings to play video games, or that people who already struggle with relationships are trying to find other ways to spend their time..." ---"The most striking part is that everything we found clustered around video game use is negative..." ---Statistical analyses also revealed that the more young adults play video games, the more frequent their involvement in risky behaviors like drinking and drug abuse. ---For young women, self-worth was low if their video game time was high. MY THOUGHTS: Only 17% of college females play games, huh? That's why game usage among females jumped from 50 percent in 2006 to 57 percent in 2008? This rise in female gamers is being attributed to the increasing sales of the Nintendo DS and Wii. It's not hard to find casual gaming females or hardcore, avid gaming females in the video game industry these days. Everyone should know that. Also, I find it absolutely hard to believe that avid gamers are not social. Excuuuuuuuse me Princess, if some of our parents don't even know how to set the time on a DVD player, much less pick up a video game controller. We spend more time playing video games because it's something we're passionate about and love to do. It's not the video games's fault that we'd rather play Guitar Hero via Xbox Live with our buddies instead of frolicking in the park with grandma or playing Scrabble with our little brothers. Apparently, playing games every day is the work of the devil. After absuing drugs, I know I love making Miis. Also, don't forget to go shoot up your school and neglect your girlfriend. BECAUSE PLAYING LEFT 4 DEAD IS SO MUCH MORE FUN ALONE RIGHT?! I was a bit offended by this article. What are your views on this? [EDIT: Thanks to the Dtoiders out there helping me not make a completely fail blog]

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
Colette, Stella, Nintendoll, Atheistium, Tiff, Ashley. The most depressed people on Dtoid.
What a load of shit. If videogames really spread you apart from people, why does Dtoid even exist? Why do we come on here everyday to hang out and talk about games we are so antisocial.
People don't have social problems because they play video games, and video games don't cause people to have social problems (unless there's excessive use such as with an addiction, but that's true for everything). Rather, a person already has social problems and chooses video games or something else to do maybe or maybe not to cope with it or replace it. This kind of research never seems to get to the heart of the matter, I think.
Furthermore, the study is on college kids. Not the best at relationships anyway, and college is probably the most social time of a person's life, including loner nerds like me. If it weren't for college, I wouldn't be married right now.
The study found drugs and video game usage popular among college-age males. WOW. Big shock there.
Plus, 813 students is not a large test group and it focused on only one demographic. So it's not a reliable study in my opinion.
I thought that the Monthly Musings were subjective to the person writing them? Regardless, this isn't a very good example of a Monthly Musing. At least she put a summary at the end though.
I disagree with the article, and I hold little regard for scientific studies on such a small scale. Also, you played Banjo Kazooie last and are now my favorite person ever.
@Hamza - Fixed. Although, I felt that it related to the topic a bit, I suppose you're right that it does not COMPLETELY reflect the theme.
@Krow - My gamertag is a bit outdated lol.. I haven't signed onto XBL since getting my new apartment.. XD Banjo-Kazooie is still one of my top favorite games though!!
On almost every show a little one. ( One that knows how to use the TV Remote. ) Could watch a whole host of unsavory shows. ( For their age. ) Like BET or MTV. Who's responsible for these kids... PARENTS & the obedience they instill in the child.
Most of these movies now a days w/ Guns & Violence are PG-13... I know this because I'm watching these trailers on TV. They look pretty gritty or slick or scandalous. ( You know adult themed. ) Then the final screens of the trailer says... "PG-13" WTF!
Music, ALOT of kids these days are listening to RAP. Awful direct slurs to women, their own race & talking about that "Life is hard so Death must be Easy"... WTF... I don't know many mafia membered 13 year olds. Unless you're the Golden Key, you are not supposed to be listening to that. "Oh, my mom let's me DL from iTunes." Your telling me that this is not the cause of our young society's "MINDS".
There is a lot more than a SIMPLE video game... Or time set aside for video games. That are corrupting the kids in the world.
If your an adult you should have the right to choose. ( You live in America. ) If your a kid, Mom & Dad decide for you.
Sure, I don't have 10,000 friends all over the place, but I like having a few friends that I really care about instead of a packed buddy list that I never talk to.
Of course, something tells me this has more to do with the fact my family moved 18 times in 15 years and I was homeschooled,... ^_~
Thanks!
Four controller are the standard where two used to be, so there's always room for more peoples.
Indeed, like everything fun, moderation is required to keep us on track. I have real friends, then I have Live friends too. I always have time to party and go out to sink a few pints though.
For those who have less friends, new friends can be made, anytime, anywhere. You've got to go out more, to really achieve it though. And you'll always find friends on Dtoid, failing that.
And a Brigham Young University study at that...
Rubbish.
Blasphemy.
Malarchy.

Bull shit.
