I'm new to this website, but in due time, I feel I can blend in.
I'm a 22-year old gamer who enjoys almost anything except sports and The Sims series. I currently balance myself between 4 consoles and 1 handheld (2 if you count the PSP, but I only play Crisis Core for the time being). When I'm not playing games, I'm either reading, working a mediocre retail job, or doing homework during semesters well spent at Western Carolina University.
But enough of that. I'll go into small details on what I've currently been playing.
Playstation 3
I borrowed The Simpsons Game from my cousin, and I'm surprised at how it turned out. Certainly not the best Simpsons game ever, that honor goes to the arcade version; but this game is better than I thought it would be.
Along with that, I'm still in the midst of playing Folklore, and the occasional Virtua Fighter 5 every once in awhile.
Wii
I might use Summer to get back into Metroid Prime 3 and No More Heroes. Other than that, just finishing up Zack and Wiki.
X-Box 360
At the moment, I'm shifting back and forth between Grand Theft Auto IV and Need for Speed: Pro Street. Pro Street is fun, and GTA4 is everything I thought it would be.
DS
Having high hopes that I can finish Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles before too long. Glad I didn't pay for it, to say the least.
I hope you enjoy your stay
Its good to have you with us
Even if it's just for a day.
I hope you enjoy yourrrr stay
Outside the sun is shining
Seems like heaven aint far away
I am new here as well, so hello and all that.
Also, as a fellow retail employee I fully expect juicy anecdotes of the moronic customers you deal with. I know it makes my day brighter.

about me
Wow, it's been a while since I've updated this thing.
I'm 23 and have recently graduated from Western Carolina University with a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Business Administration. At the moment, I'm just currently working a small retail job while waiting for my girlfriend to get her Masters Degree. On my free time, I enjoy gaming and music more than anything else.

You should have come here a week or so earlier. It didn't look so congested and unstreamlined then.
Welcome!
Welcome. Join us on our Friday Night Fights.
@The_Excel
I like teh new look better.
Welcome, Now bow down to your Robot Overlords!
If I bow down, do I get raisins?
Welcome, MrSadistic loves you.
A little off topic but where the fuck did MrSadistic go anyway?
Welcome. Don't suck!
I'll try my best not to
@ RobotFart
Away. Actually I have no idea.
Topic:
Welcome to Destructoid, everyone loves you!
@RobotFart
I'm right here, asshole.
Anyway. Welcome to Destructoid, I love you.
Welcome to dtoid!
Welcome! This is a solid intro blog. But I have a couple of “pet peeve” minor corrections (you’ll see that from me often):
1) It’s PlayStation 3, not “Playstation 3”.
2) It’s Xbox 360, not “X-Box 360”.
Keep up the good work!
Haha you're late Sadistic, good to see you're still spreading the love/hate.
Thanks Sarkar. It may take me a bit to get used to those 2 corrections, but it's all good.
Welcome ZeroSignal620! Thanks for taking the time to let us get to know you a bit. Also, Crisis Core FTW ^___^
Protip: The forums don't actually have raisins. We switched it to dates about 9 months ago. So far no one has noticed.
I am new here as well, so hello and all that.
Also, as a fellow retail employee I fully expect juicy anecdotes of the moronic customers you deal with. I know it makes my day brighter.
LOL @ Topher.
Welcome to robots and cocks.
Welcome don't suck, excuse the formatting of the blogs I think they are a bit messed up atm.
Dates > raisins
Also is Crisis Core really that great? Keep in mind I've never got past the first 3 hours of FF7 even though it's sitting on my shelf at home.
Also, welcome! I demand you finish Metroid Prime 3, it's fun times.
Craisins are the superior dried fruit snack...
Dammit Topher! I thought the raisins were making me poop more...
Anyway, welcome! Do try the forums. At least they're nutritious.
