About Me
Hi, there. Welcome to this den of iniquity, this cesspool of perversity, this hive of scum and...

...er, maybe not. Anyway, my name is Scott, age 24, and I am doomed to wander the earth in pursuit of my favorite interests: academic theory and video games. I don't take either one too seriously, though, so I enjoy pitting them against each other to fight for my favor. I've been playing video games since I was wee lad; my first console was a dusty Intellivision that my parents unearthed from the cellar. My favorite genres are RPG, sports (NHL in particular), adventure, puzzle, strategy, and some FPS.

Back from the dead...and not the good kind of dead, either

Wow, it has been awhile since I've logged in here. It's been a hectic month, and I miss Dtoid something fierce. Work has been anxiety-inducing with the threat of downsizing hanging overhead; I had to fly home to visit my grandmother's grave; and, on top of it all, my PS3 up and died on me in the middle of an episode of Angel. That sent me off the edge. I owned that ebony obelisk for barely over a year (less time than my still-functioning 360), and it fizzled while playing a DVD. It could have at least had the dignity to keel over while playing a BD. To top it off, the warranty has expired, and I conveniently lost my receipt, so there's no way I could send it in, expecting a free repair, without being suspected of being a con artist/burgler. Looks like that tax return will be arriving just in time.

Anyways, after getting caught up on all the news I missed (the site got hacked?), I'll reenter the collective tide pool and participate again. I'm liking the semi-new look already. It's great to see you all again, and I hope things haven't changed too radically.
