About Me

edit

Myself:

I am a Ph. D. chemisty from the University of California, Berkeley and current West Coast Community Manager and Fight Manager. I have been playing videogames since as long as I can remember! My past favorite games include Secret of Mana, TMNT: Turtles in Time, the Resident Evil series (Jill is SUCH as master of unlocking), FFVII, Smash Bros Melee, and many others.

I've definitely gone through phases in my gaming "career". I used to LOVE fighting games in the time of Tekken Tag and Marvel vs Capcom II (my favorite fighting game), but now I find myself drawn to the more story driven games, and very recently, the music games....:)

But....fighting games are making a comeback! SFIV! MvC3! BlazBlue! Beware everyone, Tactix has put a quarter on the screen and is challenging you for battle!

Current games I'm playing:

Marvel vs Capcom 3
Dead Space 2
Find Mii (:P)

It was mere chance that brought me to Destructoid back in early 2007, and through it all I've stayed because of the great writing staff, a community that cares, and lots of new internet and IRL friends. Destructoid has changed my life. True story.

I'm also now the West Coast Community Manager who leads DtoidSF and helps coordinate Dtoid groups all over the world. So hit me up if you have any concerns about starting a new group, or where the group nearest to you is! :D

Internet famous for 5 seconds! [Shortblog]
Jesse Cortez \| 1:07 PM on 12.11.2009	24 comments

This Wednesday, DtoidSF had a chance to go to Umloud, a Child's Play Charity Event. While a proper recap blog is coming soon (with pictures!), I just had to share this...

I'm internet famous on Gamepro for 5 seconds!

Check the 0:27 mark to see me rocking a high note in the Dtoid shirt, as well as Stella Wong and ErbilT jamming it out on bass and guitar! (Ben PerLee is there on drums! I swear!)

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!
