About Me
Oh hai! I'm Reuel Santiago 20 years of age (turning 21 this July) and I live in the Philippines.

Currently, I'm studying at MIT (that's Mapua Institute of technology), the premier engineering school in the country. After 4 agonizing years, I'm finally at the homestretch, with only 11 unit remaining.

I don't own any current-gen consoles. It sucks, but MMO's and the occassional overnight binges of DotA are enough to sate my gaming hunger.

I love RPG's though. It all started with FFVIII (I have long since matured, and don't look back at VIII with the same fond memories I have of IX). As you can tell, I have a fondness for JRPG's and clicky games (Diablo II before my older PC broke down on me).

I might also get weaboo tendencies and declare my love for Japan on random instances, but that probably stems from my love of girls in tiny skirts and uniforms... I'm also into anime and manga, but not by much at the moment. I'm too busy balancing school, games and other stuff.

So there, I might edit this come July 12th, and remove parts of the first paragraph. GLHF!!!

Man I'm such a lazy bastard. The ones I post here will probably be the ones I put in my profile some time in the not too distant future. Okay, here goes:

I'm Reuel Santiago, 20 years old (turning 21 this July). I'm an up-and-coming Computer Engineer, currently studying in MIT (that's Mapua Institute of Technology, the premiere engineering school in the Philippines).

A little history:

I found out about desructoid when I was browsing one day for Odin Sphere reviews. I clicked on the link, found dtoid and enjoyed my stay. The next articles I read were the BBL's (where ARE the BBL's as of late?). I also noticed that the community here was great. So far, I haven't seen a single flame war, whiny emo kid or fanboy.

End history.

I don't own any current gen console. The time I would get to play GTAIV is probably when you guys are talking about it in RetroForceGo!!!. I have to balance $6 a day (almost half of which goes to my commuting expenses and the rest for my food and others). Hmmm, maybe when I get a job after graduation...

I'm an avid RPG (More specificaly, JRPG's) player. It started with FFVIII and I fell in love with the genre ever since. If I'm not busy busting my thumb from action or fighting games, I'm playing RPG's.

So that's all for now. Check back later in a month or three for my next post (I still have to finish my projects. That alarm system and Pascal compiler will NOT finish itself). Hopefully by then I have my profile up and running and some friends as well (I have no friends. I are laym).

PS: Anyone here know how much a certified Systems Administrator earns?

@ Reaprar:
Bleeding sarcasm? Nice pic BTW. You can actually feel the hatred permeating from the monitor.

Nope. But probably more than me. Good luck.
