About Me
Leader of the Dtoid RTS clan.
Squad commander of the Dtoid ChromeHounds - bloop me if you want to get it. I need to be online in the game for your request to be accepted.

Been here for a while...

Proud member of the DTOID Army...

I used to break-dance, and Parkour, however as of February 2008 I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip(I am only 19), effectively killing most of my fun. So a nice day on the computer or console is basically my main form of entertainment now.

I am a sophomore at Saint Paul College

A few of my favorite games...
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
FF3/6
The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past
Megaman X
Metal Gear Solid
Gran Turismo
Starcraft
Shadow of The Colossus
Okami
Armored Core series
Ace Combat series
Smugglers Run
Enemy Territory
This list is too long already.

Not my Turning Point gaming rig

My old baby...

if computers had miles shed be in the five hundred thousand + category. I originally built her to be free from needing upgrades for five years, the problem, beyond the fact that its been seven years since I built it, I didn't foresee dual processing, ddr2, and a host of other small improvements that have made computing power mind boggling. it can still play games that are worth playing, IE starcraft and dawn of war, however it is crushed under most modern fps' or if you build more than 50 units in a game of supreme commander it dies, the game doesn't crash the computer just dies.
specs:
AMD 3000+ 64 bit, WITH HyperTransport technology
300 watt power supply
mid tower ps k8t800 motherboard
120 gig IDE hard drive 7200 rpm
2x 512mb ddr 333 pc2700
ati radeon 9800 128mb WITH TV OUT!
soundblaster live 5.1
8x dvd +/- R/RW burner
52x cd drive
I also added a few extra fans and replaced the stock heatsink and fan on my processor

Its loud as hell but it got the job done
sadly now my main computer is a laptop with an integrated graphics processor, and not a very good one at that... as it was purchased for schoolwork, not gaming.

well hopefully the contest wasnt based on east coast time... or I'm screwed.

A short blurb about why I think I deserve the turning point machine.
I am primarily a pc gamer. however with the costs required to build a beast pc these days and the fact that my rig is outdated enough to need a complete gutting at minimum, it is prohibitive. So I have gradually turned more and more to consoles to fill that gaming itch. Consoles however do not play RTS games... and if they do they do it so badly its basically a shit storm on your face. now I've been lucky so far, the only rts games to catch on of the new generation my computer can handle, however starcraft 2 alone would merit an upgrade, that combined with the fact that I'm about to move out to the dorm room, puts me in a situation where I don't have a computer that can play video games, or the financial ability to get one myself.

So besides the financial side of it... I know that alot of the people entered into the turning point contest have made one cblog post, the turning point entry, well I am not just a site newb, I've been here since december 06 and mostly use the website to find other gamers to play games with, along with enjoying the hilarious antics the staff and community provide, in both poking fun at each other and
you know what, I just realized the entry winner selection is automated.
fuck it. also its almost midnight... central time and I don't want to miss another possible deadline.
