About Me
Lately it seems that tetris has become my entire life. I could use some analogy and say that every portion of my well rounded existance correlates with a tetragon. Every piece falingl together as I play, but I won't. I've just been playing a lot of tetris because its an easy procrastion.
Interestingly I've also been doing a lot of rock climbing, which is kind of tetris in reverse when you think about it.
I'm not too sure about any other particular interests but I find I'm well informed about world status. I do this by checking my email every five minutes. You never know, someone might have written to you since you last looked. I'm also interested in philosophical physics which is like saying you like religous mathematics or even possibly metaphysical cooking. Except I do actually like it.
I also like noise in the background. My favourite is a radio on just loud enough to hear a humm but not loud enough to actually hear the moronic things that radio DJ's are actually saying.
I dont have a T.V
If anyone finds out anything interesting about me, it would be really good if they could tell me. Unfortunatly I always seem to the last person to find out about things, especially about my own life.
As a side note if anyone could also let me know how they put the fillings in chocolates I'd also be very interested.

I like playing games high. I admit it. When I was a kid I’d get really fucked up then go kill people on quake (No.1 baby!) for hours. Nothing beats a friday night fight with shitloads of meth and twitchy kill counterstrike. Awesome.
Though right now I don’t want to talk about that.
On the weekend I was working at one of those huge festivals where everyone (40000 people) is on drugs. We didn’t have a single drug related fatality. We had 15 hospital transports from alcohol and 2 from GHB (nasty shit).
Here in the .au 12% of kids (20-29’s) have tried or are regular uses of mdma. That’s around about 300,000 people. Of those 50% use it monthly – weekly.
It made me wonder. So looked up some stuff.

In the last year we’ve had 1 reported death from mdma.

In the last year, from one state (NSW) in the same age bracket (a comparable population size) there were around 190 fatal car crashes.

I know its kinda like comparing apples to oranges. Its not like people eat pills all day to get to work. Then again 33% of the fatal crashes happened on fri-sat night between 10pm-5am.
The stats almost say "stay out, its safer".
Crazy world.

I know its not game relevant but I found it interesting. So I thought I’d share

Yes, because Destructoid is a shining example of saintliness and moral restraint.

Yeah, if you look at the stats for car related deaths, you'll realize a LOT of people die on the road.

remember kids, if you wanna be cool, do drugs! :P

Meth fries your brain. When I smoke pot I actually find it more difficult to play games though so maybe I should move up to it.

Meth-heads are fucking stupid. Ive seen a lot of them here in Oregon, and theyre fucking gross. Sorry man, but meth is ridiculous, and if youre hitting that shit, then I feel sorry for you.

I never advocate anything but moderation.
And it doesn't matter whatever the substance, addiction isn't a fun path to go down.
That counts for everything. meth, coke, pot, alcohol, WoW, CS:source, tetris.
I mean, have you looked at people playing games in internet cafe's recently? It's like going into an opium den.
