About Me

Gaming History:

I grew up on NES, SNES, and N64. Then took a break from gaming for a few years to party and be in a band in high school and college. Then once I was out of college I picked up a PS2 and started playing again. A few years later I picked up a XBOX 360, then a Wii, and finally a PS3 then an old modded XBOX that plays NES, SNES, Genesis & N64 games. I have since sold the Wii because I never played it. I don't play PC games. I buy all multi-platform games on the 360.


Let's get personal...
I was an atheist for the first 21 years of my life, then God showed me He was real in an extremely powerful way that I just couldn't deny no matter how much I wanted to ignore it. I then spent a few years doing youth ministry and traveling North America sharing the Gospel. After that I was a Spanish teacher in private and public schools. I then became a sales/product trainer for Best Buy. then a sales/product trainer for Toshiba's Laptop division. I know train for PayPal. I am single and have 3 fantastic sons, one of which has Autism which has it's challenges but he is such a great little dude. I am a musician; I have played drums for a little over 14 years. And dabble in a little classical guitar.



I am a very passionate person. I love my sports teams; RedSox, AZ Cardinals, and PHX SUNS. I enjoy a great beer preferably a Pale Ale or IPA. MOAR HOPS! I'm always down for an intelligent discussion; The more profound the better. In my opinion Gamers get a bad rep, because of a large percentage of gamers are immature tools, who lack couth. I'm in no way a violent, blood-lust filled person, like those you hear on Xbox Live or PSN spouting of racial slurs or obscenities. I just grew up on games and they've stuck with me.

'Twas The Night Before Black Friday Poem TheJesusNinja26 | 11:16 AM on 11.25.2009 10 comments

'Twas the night before Black Friday and all through the land, gamers were worrying, longs lists in hand, For their stockings were soon to be hung up with care and they knew without shopping, those socks would be bare With turkey in their tummies and pumpkin ale flowing, they turned in for the night, quite fully knowing that noobs were nestled all snug in their beds with gaming sale visions dancing in their heads. When out like a light, a pixelated dream came into focus. They never suspected any hocus-pocus. Scratching their bums, they leapt out of bed stumbling and sleepy, and rubbing their heads They ran to the PC to check their bank account stash, they looked in their wallets, and realized they were short on cash. Then on the internet, what should appear, But a list of all the gaming deals, so have no fear. With too many games to be had, they had to choose which games aren't a fad. More rapid than broadband, Mr. Dtoid's reindeer came, as he whistled and shouted and called them by name: "Now Uncharted! Now Dragon Age! Now, Brutal Legend and Madden 10! On, Xbox! On Sony! On, Nintendo Wii! To the top of the porch! To the chimney wall! Now game away! Game away! Game away all! As stressed-out shoppers that before the sale do fly, when they meet with an obstacle and poke out an eye. So up to the house-top the reindeer they flew with a sleigh full of consoles and peripherals too. And then, in a twinkling, was heard on the roof the prancing of each little pixilated hoof. As they watched from the top of the stairs, mouths agape, St. Dtoid appeared on the hearth with nary a scrape. He was dressed all in glory, from his shoes to his head and his eyes were glowing, as though infrared. A gaggle of games dropped into sight, including the latest Left 4 Dead, with zombies to fight. His eyes how they sparkled! They looked just like cherries! His grin was enough to make anyone merry! His discs were plentiful and easy to switch, and his online play ran with nary a glitch. His controller batteries were lithium and long-lasting to boot, and his trigger fingers were ready to shoot. His consoles streamed NETFLIX in the highest resolution, And his Facebook integration was the perfect solution. He spoke only two words, as he filled up the socks, he snickered and smiled as he said, "also c*cks" And laying his finger on a nearby present for a goof he turned of the console and was gone in a poof. He uploaded to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and they all took off like a MW2 Predator missile. A rhyme left behind put it all in perspective. Go Black Friday shopping, this is your final directive. And now some wonderful memories of Black Friday's past... Becareful out there DTOID community! With the economy even worse this year, the frenzy will be even greater, we don't want you hurting your precious thumbs or any other appendages for that matter. Attached photos:
