About Me

Professional Bad-Ass, age 21

Howdy. I've been playing video-games since I was but a wee lad. I'm particularly fond of action-adventure, RPGs, and shooters. I sing and play guitar for a funk rock band. I love sandwiches and smoothies and organize my t-shirts by color. I really hate when during a moment of extreme awesome the batteries in my controller die.


Currently Playing:
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
Grand Theft Auto IV (XBOX360)

Hi, I'm "That Guy."
Verati | 5:09 AM on 05.22.2008 17 comments


For as long as I can remember, I have always been "that guy" - you know, the guy who's better than everyone else at videogames and makes them not fun to play anymore. My friends would do anything to get out of playing against me: sit out, force me to play with a handicap (ever play Halo upside-down?), or worst of all, fake mental illness (true story). This curse has left me feeling guilty for beating my friends and has kept me unreasonably sober during Mario Kart drinking games. I was about ready to give up on ever finding salvation, until I found Destructoid.

Here, everyone is "that guy" or "that gal." I feel I have finally found a place where I can safely pwn amongst like-minded company. That being said, if anyone is looking for an able body for Halo3, CoD4, SSBB, or anything really, drop me a line and let the good times roll.


PS: I love you guys. ;)

Bad troll is bad.

How the fuck does that have anything to do with Zero Punctuation? It's not like it's an original concept that Yahtzee came up with. We all either know that person or are that person.

Welcome to the DToid Verati. Don't suck.

No, because I tendo to not be a dick about beating my friends. There's some give and take to it. Sometimes it's easier to throw a game or two to your friends rather than continue to beat then to the point where they don't want to play with you anymore.

Here you are no longer 'That Guy', you are just 'A guy'.
Welcome.

When I beat my freinds, I can't help but be smug, and I really try not to. It's just hard to be so awesome. ;)

The only time I remember Yahtzee mentioning "That Guy" is in his Smash Bros review, and he doesn't say anything similar besides the words "That Guy."

I'm actually Them and They. You know whenever someone says "It's Them. [i]They're[/] watching me." Thats me. It's a hard job but someone has to do it.

To be the guy, you gotta beat the guy.

What'cha gonna do, when that guy runs wild on you?

And that's the bottom line, cause that guy said so.

Welcome to Destructoid guy.
