After receiving an email from Tolkien foundation warning me not to make any more epic posts that would infringe on the long winded notoriety of the Lord of The Rings, here's a condensed, non-LOTR threatening version.

My name is h3lios. i live in the bowels of South East Asia known as India. Mumbai to be precise, where we pay in kidneys for our Wiis, PSTriples and Xbox360s. So far, i plan to let go of one of my kidneys (farewell lefty) for a Wii to play Super Paper Mario and Metroid Prime 3. Used to be a big J-RPG fanboy till i discovered Oblivion and Deus Ex (from where i got my nickname), both of which made me realize there's more to gaming than a killer storyline, namely godlike gameplay.

Nowadays i more or less play on any system or game i can get my hands on be it Command and Conquer, Counter Strike or even Snake on my cell phone. It's not about the platform, its the games that maketh a gamer.

Apart from owning the systems listed on my profile, i did have an eight month tryst with the Xbox which ended in a bitter break-up. A console that craps on you after 40 hours of KOTOR reeks of mega fail. Leaving me bugged enough to sell it and upgrade my PC to play KOTOR. At least the house cats can't sit on an Antec SuperLan Boy like they used to on an Xbox...



Voicing feline conspiracies aside, i joined Destructoid because i got sick of reading fake reviews and impersonal news on websites that can't tell their Balrog from their Vega or their freeloader from their modchips.
