SteamID & XBL Gamertag: ScottyGrayskull





---


Hello! <3

Bit about me. I've been a gamer for the most of my life. When I was seven and waiting for my parents to pick me up from piano lessons, the teacher's two sons showed me Super Mario Bros 2. Needless to say I never learned to play the piano very well...

I've flip-flopped several times between consoles and PCs. I generally love non-generic FPS games, puzzlers (Tetris is probably my favourite game of all time) and platformers of all shapes and sizes. I tolerate RPGs, but usually don't bother because I just don't have the time to invest in them.

I'm one of those freaks that regard FF7 and Ocarina of Time as merely average. That might be partly because I'm biased against the first round of 3D games that generally looked and played like crap compared to the 2d games at the time (during that generation I was a PC gamer, where they actually could do decent 3D at the time). By no means are they bad games, but plenty of games have done just as well and actually looked good in the process.

Yeah yeah, graphics aren't everything. But as important as gameplay is, looks still matter. It doesn't have to be the best looking thing around, but it at least has to be passable.

I tried to be a collector for awhile, but realized there was no market where I lived and gave that up. Currently I have an NES, SNES, GameBoy/GameBoy Colour/GameBoy Advance SP, DS, a 360, and of course my lovely gaming PC. ^_^

It's still Destructoid's 5th, and even though I had to bail on my recapping duties for tonight (Thanks Bey! <3) I wanted to do a short blog with a few video links.

Sorry for just the links, but there doesn't seem to be any way to embed them

That's what made me aware of Destructoid. At the time I was just farting around the tubes, and the only community I was involved with was ScrewAttack. And nothing against SA but my heart wasn't in that, I just really liked their videos and podcast and saying so was about if for my community contributions.

I actually started reading all three sites from that show (Joystiq, Kotaku, and Destructoid). It's funny to see the style of each site's rep compared to the site they represented. Only Destructoid held my interest enough to keep reading though.



Shortly after starting on the site I discovered RetroforceGO which... well it got me through a very tough summer, and I don't think I ever properly thanked everyone from the show for that. A few months later I went to E 4 All and while too nervous to say hi to anybody I recognized, I had seen enough and actually signed up.

It's been an amazing three and a half years for me, and through it all I wouldn't trade this site, the community, and my experiences with it for anything. Thank you for being cool people that I can feel comfortable talking about video games to. <3

Glad you picked us Scotty!
time does fly... I just checked and I guess I'm closing in on two years here... for some reason it seems like longer! It truly is amazing how quickly this site manages to become part of "daily life". :)
"We're kind of like the drunk uncle that tells nasty jokes to kids..."
That about sums it up.
My Battlefield experience wouldn't be the same without you!

<3
Thank you for being awesome!

Poor Workmeng went crazy when his "MGS4 to 360" NOT-rumour never happened :(

I used to read Joystiq but for some reason I could never stick to Caketaku. Dtoid has been my sole source of video game news for awhile now though.
Scotty, everytime we've met you've always managed to make a solid impression on me and I'm glad you're you bro!
God that was such a trip down memory lane. Thank LawofThermalDynamics and the CBlogInterviews for making me think about it. :)
Oh wow, those videos threw up so many memories, thanks for posting those Scotty <3

Can't wait to meet each and everyone of you at PAX again!
@ScottyG: LoTD...better than Ritalin!
I really enjoyed playing through Halo 3 with ya, Scotty. And I know I'll never best your score at Pac Man DX, but I'm gonna keep trying! It's been an honor serving with you as a fellow recapper, and I look forward to seeing you again come PAX time!
Scotty, so glad to have met you over the last few months! GOLD SQUAD MUTHAFUCKA.

Hope we can meet for realsies come PAX time.
Scotty! That's how I first heard of Dtoid too! Awesome. Glad to know you, buddy.
