About Me

Alias: Saku
Age: Twenty-Three
Location: Florida
Twitter: TalesOfSaku

I've been a gamer almost my whole life. I'm not your average girl who grew up with Barbie's and whanot (though, I admit I still played them -- I enjoyed my brother's GI Joes more, hahaha. Boy toys are just better! .. wait, that didn't sound right.) Having an older brother, it was easier to get games and enjoy them more. The NES was my first love along with Sega right after. I miss Sega systems. : (

Systems I own:
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Gameboy (aka "The Brick")
Gameboy color
GBA SP
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Wii
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
(Insert Sega Genesis that was broken by my mom's Godchild. ;_;)
Playstation 1 (both old and new version)
Playstation 2 (US and Japanese)
PSP (Have 2, actually. Gave my brother my blue one when I got the FF7 Crisis Core one)
Xbox 360
(Insert PS3 sometime in the future)

You'll come to learn that I am a huge Tales of whore (and that I only bought a 360 for Vesperia). And I really love my RPGs. I'm not really big Xbox fan because of the extreme amount of FPS, though I don't hate them. But I never wanted to own it because most of their games are FPS. But the RPGs are coming so yay :D I love fighting games, and rhythm games, and do not like horror games at all.

Along with video games, also been into anime for as long as I can remember. I love cosplaying, collecting crap to clutter my room, wasting my brain cells on the internet, and being with my friends.

Feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk. I love to meet new people!

Miami NARP: Made of Awesome.
SakuChan \| 7:33 PM on 11.22.2008	36 comments

All right, so my NARP cherry has been popped and it was the most amazing popping I've ever experienced. I arrived late because I was at work until 9 and the second I walked in there, all I could think was holy shit. It was like being in heaven. And hey, it didn't smell too bad ( ... what? It was honestly shocking. :P ).

Only thing that sucked was coming late because I couldn't jump into any of the competitions. I only got to play Rock Band once. The majority of the time I was just with my friends from anime club and walking around. Also sucked about the competitions that didn't end, especially the GoW (Was it GoW? I honestly wasn't even looking at what the hell they were playing) one that lasted until 2am.

Regardless, the atmosphere was bad ass and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one. :] I'm definitely getting the day off for it.

Here are a few pictures I took.

The TV's with the 360's hooked up. And in the back was Rock Band.

Area with SSBB, Soul Calibur, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (I cry for not being able to play it)

The SSBB area. You can see how much space we had for the event.

Soul Calibur behind SSBB. Serious gaming faces. XD

The bastard who pretty much told me about this site before. ElfAngel7 and my tired ass for ya.

Colette, Me, and ElfAngel7's girlfriend, aka, the one who made the awesome Destructoid merchandise courtesy of Epic Sugarworks. If you put the name tags together, you'll get the lovely "Awesome Saku Cocks". ;D

Lastly, Colette and I!

I really didn't get to meet other DToiders cause I honestly didn't really know who was one. xD And I wasn't introduced to much people. But that's okay, hopefully next time!

And now, time to play Last Remnant! Hell yeah.

I wanna go to a NARP. :(

garison

OOO Colette, you are soo sexy :P

God I wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere!!!

Colette Bennett

squeeeeeee I love that picture of you and me! You took some great pictures of the crowd -- I forgot to photograph that part of the party, lol.

Brian Szabelski

I wish I could have made it to this epic NARP. Sounds like it was a blast!

Hamza CTZ Aziz

THERE WERE DESTRUCTOID COOKIES!? I SEE COOKIES!!! I WANT FUCKING COOKIES!

Aaron Mxy Yost

Sounds awesome. One day I'll have the money and free time to make one of these.

Mikey

Holy shit I just noticed them...

YUM.

Jesse Cortez

Awesome pictures! Glad the event was a success :D

LONG LIVE DESTRUCTOID!

Dudemullet

I can't wait to pop my narp cherry >_<

TheDreadHawk

Fuck, I am so going next time.
I don't care if I have to travel all the way to Florida.

GuitarAtomik

Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to you! I was kind of out of it the whole time taking it all in. It was definitely fun though.

Also yeah, Gears took 4EVAR!

Shin Oni

Bmore narp still over Miami narp

why? cause we had Nick chester...saying Rock Band sucks...on video.

The End.

glad you and everyone else seemed to have fun. I really wonder how well i'd kill people in fighters like Brawl and SCIV with a decent online connection (or If I met them face to face.)

bahss

I wish I lived in the right Miami... :(
But it looks like you gais has had fun-blast!!

nebones

I wish I could NARP it out.

Kryptinite

I don't remember running into you there!

SnakeDude4Life

I remember you!

You were talking to Colette and Tatiana almost all night.

I should have said "hi".

Next time maybe.

Half left

Urgh, nothing interesting ever happens in the UK.

Bob Muir

Argh, Niero throws this huge party, and I'm up here in the snow. Oh well, at least I still have warm fuzzy memories from PAX.

Also, you have the same face in every picture. You're like Chad!

Askherserenity

I think I remember seeing you. Most people there hardly knew what Destructoid was >:[

SakuChan

@ Kryptinite : I saw you. ... I think. xD Unless Pedro told me about the wrong person. You were the one that bought the DToid stuff that my friend made, right? If you were, I saw right next to you. LOL.

@ Necros: Oh trust me, I take a lot of stupid pictures. But since I'm new here, I'm not comfortable in posting those just yet. I was tired so I just went with the safe smile. :P

Samit Sarkar

Miami is too goddamn far away from New York. Niero, that's a hint -- hold the next massive NARP here, where it's currently 42�F outside! I miss you and Colette!

Nice pics, SakuChan! Had you not played Rock Band before, or are you just lamenting the fact that you didn't get to rock out more than once?

SakuChan

@ Samit Sarkar: Oh no, I've played Rock Band before. I'm more of a Guitar Hero fan myself but yeah, meant I didn't get to rock out more. ;_;

Crunshii

Hehe, MiamiNARP was awesome. Too bad I got my ass handed to me in MK and MvsC2 :P Guess im getting old...

Half left

Doesn't change facial expression...

SakuChan

@ Half Left: Already explained above. Trust me, I'm goofy and make stupid ass faces but I was just too tired .. at least I'm smiling. :P

superflossy

ZOMG! Those cookies on sticks and cupcakes look sooooo nummy!

Pedro Cortes

Yah, you were tired as holy hell Saku. I wish you had gotten there earlier; the rock band line was short at first, with most of the people dashing toward Smash and L4D.

Let me tell you though, I had a blast, even if I was on my feet for 10+ hours setting up the event. Can't wait for another one!

SakuChan

@ ElfAngel7: They think my face is boring ;__; You know I'm a god damn idiot who makes really stupid faces. Just couldn't feel super duper happy at the NARP because of being so tired, regardless of it being effin' amazing.

AND YES, I'm excited for the next event. I'm definitely helping next time.

Wexx

ugh, I wish I had gone to this instead of super-horrible-party in the middle of nowhere :( Damn me being a good friend =\

Maurice Tan

This looked awesome. WHY WERE THERE GIRLS THERE!!!

pendelton21

Holy shit there wuz cookies?!!?

You lucky bastards...

Chocobo Knight

I wish I could've gone. :(

Mr Wilson

That thing was amazing. I cant believe the gears tourney took up until the last possible second. Wandering the streets of Miami at 3:30 am with Snaileb, Kryptinite and GuitarAtomik was nice too lol.

I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A FUCKING LOLLIPOP!!!

the phntm rat

holy christ this was amazing. how often do these NARP events happen? a friend and i are starting to mess around with chiptune music and would like to see if maybe we could be the musical guests next time around. (granted that we learn the ins and outs of messing with that music)

Spartacus

FOOD SHAPED LIKE DESTRUCTOID!?
