About Me
In loving memory: PAX 2009 (thanks ZombiePlatypus! And WalkYourPath, of course)
I'm Kauza, which is pronounced like cause-uh. My real name's Andrew Kauz, if you'd rather go for that.
I like talking to Dtoid people, so please add me on your favorite social networking site:
Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kauza
Gchat: santakauz[at]gmail.com.
Basics: I'm 25, and I write things.
Eternal thanks go out to Y0j1mb0 for the amazing header image you see above. So, thanks, sir!
Look at some of the things I've written.
Things on the Front Page:
Mass Effect, Metal Gear, Moon Unit, and more: An interview with Jennifer Hale
The Future: Demanding more from the voices of videogames
Love/Hate: A plea to play as a female Shepard
A warning: Regrets from a former life and experiences yet unlived
Top ten games for people who hate Thanksgiving
The wrong thing: Being evil should be more like sex
Staying dry in a sea of spoilers is a matter of building a boat
Lessons on taking games just seriously enough
Come, take your pilgrimage to gaming's one true mecca
Here's to you, random-JRPG-dialogue-writer-man
The forgotten: Crushing disappointment at the hands of Crash 'n the Boys
The people who have the power to change the world
Improving game communities: Enough with the negativity
The draw of exploration: Antarctica to Oblivion, Shackleton to Shadow Complex
I suck at games: BlazBlue and a slapdash attempt at fisticuffs
I, the Author: My Everest
Untapped Potential: The Gamer's Education
Other Worlds than These: Our World, Only Different
A series sort of thing about status effects
Toxic Megacolon and other fresh status effects
Curse you, status effects, stop confusing my heart
Status effects are poisons that turn my silent heart to stone

I love you, but I'll kill you. I posted the original during a bit of a bad time, and everyone loves contest reminders anyway, so here it is: your contest reminder! The basic idea of this contest is to think up the most insane, hilarious, and awesome invention possible using only items available in the Fallout 3 universe. Not sure what I mean? Check out Tubatic's great entry (my choice for picture will make much more sense after that). Note that you can make pictures, videos, whatever. Just make it original and awesome. Be sure to check out the full rules and prize details at the original post, where you should also post your entries. You have until the end of the day on Friday, giving you plenty of thinking/creation time. And no one doesn't love free stuff, right? http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/kauza/community-contest-inventions-of-fallout-3-137640.phtml I think this should yield a lot of laughs, so have fun with it. And, remember, I love you.
