It's been awhile since I posted last, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been here. I've been following posts from others here and keeping up with the gaming world. I haven't felt inspired enough to write about anything this month, I didn't write random BS just to write something, but I faithfully visited every day. Destructoid is great not because I have the freedom to spout any inane, but because being a reader is just as rewarding as being a writer. The latest Jim Sterling troll-baiting opinion piece and Chad's poigniant post about Valkyria Chronicles are representative of the quality and range of writing found on the site. I also commend all those who take time out of their days to contribute to the C-blogs. From thoughtful reviews and hilarious satires to failblogs and flame wars, there is something to read for any mood. The forums deserve recognition as well, for while they may not be as visible as the front page, they provide a casual place for everyone to speak their minds. There really is something here for everyone.
In short: Dtoid, keep doin' whatcha doin'--it is greatly appreciated.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.

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.
