About Me
Every story has a beginning.. and mine starts with the classic consoles. From Atari, NES, to Gen. Odd how things worked out, from blips to characters sprawling over an open world. Either by pipe or a loop-de-loop. Those times have passed, but still are a part of our gamer hearts.

Well my playlist thus far.. Pitfall, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Castlevania, Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Earthworm Jim, Mega Man, and many more.. this list could take awhile trust me.

Apart from the D-toid family, I'm also a part of the AllGames Community, and the fun show Distributed Failure http://www.distributedfailure.com/

In the late eighties, early nineties, comic books were starting to get back in gear. Most were about superheroes, and others ran independently. An unknown talent named Michael Turner, was one of those people. One of his major works, Witchblade caught my attention. And just something about his style mixed with manga + american storytelling wove so well. Some characters you thought you'd never see in a tale quite like this one.

Sadly he was diagnosed with a bone marrow type cancer in 2000. But he bravely kept going, and got back into the industry. Until recently, he lost the fight. That aside, he's remembered for bringing something new to storytelling, one that cannot be taken for granted.

I remember reading on how he was in remission and getting better and then it came back, sad to see someone die so young, especially a man of his talent.
