Greetings, fellow gamers! I am Saint, also called The Bard in some circles. You, however, may call me Joshua.

With a bow to the gentlemen and a wink to the ladies, I come here offering my thoughts on numerous subjects in gaming, such as...

- Why I am in an abusive relationship with Microsoft
- Why EA Games is evil, yet I can't stop playing their games
- Why Mario deserves better
- Why the world isn't bowing down to me yet.

A bit about my gaming history. The first game I ever played was Road Rash. My father had it for the PC, and let me tell you, I would watch him play all the time. Then one day, he turned around, smiled, and said to me "Would you like to race." I nodded eagerly, and then proceeded to fall off bridges, crash into oncoming cars, and get caught by the police ten million times. I sure as heck had a blast, though.

Time went on, and I recieved a Game Boy colour for Christmas, as well as Pokemon Yellow Edition. This was what truly cemented me as a gamer. I spent more time than was healthy playing that game, and eventually, I built up a nice collection of GBC games.

Then my uncle gave my siblings and I a Playstation. Obsession over Spyro and Tekken then proceeded.

Then it was an Xbox, then it was a gaming computer, then it was a DS and a 360, then it was a Wii.

And now here I stand, a silly man who thinks he's a bard. With a 360 controller in one hand and the pen in the other, I come to deliver my thoughts on the industry and the games, producers, and other such things therein!

Farewell for now!

Welcome to Destructoid.

Road Rash is awesome. I've heard rumbling that EA has Criterion making a new one. Considering their work with bikes in Paradise City, I hope the rumours are true!!

Also, I don't know what a bard is.

I am pleased that Destructoid now has a resident bard.

We're a friendly bunch of folks as long as you use a little common sense when writing your posts.
