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.

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me succumbs to New York Times error

Alright,
read this first
http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/NihonTiger90/ars-technica-vgcharts-embarrass-the-new-york-times-83513.phtml

now, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, the NPR news quiz just talked about that, not the fact that the New York Times fucked up, but about how people aren't buying games for their wiis, furthermore they went on to talk about how Wii software developers are having to get more creative to get more game sales, such as "Denny Diner Dash", and the fps targeted to older audiences, "Hey, Get Off My Lawn"

it just makes me sad that newspapers don't apologize when they fuck up, and then those stories get reported on... and so on and so forth... ugh.

I still can't get over that the New York times sited vgchartz... *facepalm*

Now I definitely don't expect a comedic radio news quiz show to double check any facts, but the New York Times definitely should have.

yes.
I never write blogs.
but since I have a paper to do I am finding 9001 other things to do, BESIDES writing my paper.
need me to invent a cure for cancer, it sure as hell sounds better than writing a ten page paper about F. Scott Fitzgerald's connections to Minnesota
