Still in the middle of unpacking from the move from renter to owner but that doesn't mean I can't take pictures! I live with my girlfriend now so she has contributed to my collection of stuff as well and we've been together for coming up 5 years.
Living Room:
Dreamcast, Xbox, Wii, PS2, PS3, HD dvd player, 7.1 reciever, Polk speakers, Velodyne 12" sub and a 46" Samsung LCD.
Still in the midst of hiding wires or covering them and I have to bring over my SNES and NES stuff from my moms.
Computer Room AKA "The Man Room"
We keep most of our games in this room as well as movies. As you can see I dabble with figurines but not as much as some people here do.
Close up of the toys
I ripped apart of few of my toys when I was like 10 and put em together to make these dudes. I believe I used Venom an Alien from Independence day then we have Spawn, Spider man, Terminator and Venom.
Movies and games
Stuffed animals are my girl friends Christmas presents. Chocobo and choco scarf, Yuna and a she dog and sheep from Harvest Moon for preordering one of the thousands of Harvest Moon titles. The large trophy is for stereo competitions I hit up in the summer.
This thing is chalk full, on all four sides, of PS2 games.
Destructoid shirts and RC car
Sorry if I turned anyone on as I hate to be a tease...lol

I know this will be a shock to some but yes, this is about Grand Theft Auto (GTA).
Futureshop was the only retailer in town to offer the sale of GTA at 12:01am this morning, I received my copy at 12:18am. Now this is the first time I have ever gone out of my way to purchase a game as I usually just go out the next day after I make some phone calls to pick it up.
I'm damn near 23 now and try not to stereotype people but I believe I was, out of about 60 people, one of about 10 NON gangster wanabees at this midnight sale. I was in shorts and a tee shirt, while everyone else had baggy pants, hoodies, smokes and cheap plastic bling. Every time someone came out from the store with a purchase people were saying they should shank them and steal their game, or before hand do a drive by to cut the line down. I believe it's people like this that give games like this the bad reputation as it was a little more than annoying and retarded. Seven or eight of these "homeboys" got kicked out for being under age, I chuckled over that.
The only thing that made me laugh was the reference one guy gave as he was being ID'd he said, very loudly, that he had herpes older than 18. That made my night.
One a crappy side note Futureshop never brought in any normal editions of GTA for the PS3 so after waiting in line for about 20 minutes I was pretty much forced to purchase the special edition as it would have felt stupid to wait that long and not purchase the game.

I got a spare kicking around.
Just off the phone with Konami help and the guy game me a proper 12 digit code as I had a bad 9 digit one. Then about 3 minutes ago I finally got a reply to the e-mail I sent with another code attached.
If you are interested be the first person to guess my favorite number, between 0-100 and you shall be rewarded. I don't care how many times you guess but it is one guess per post and you can NOT start from 1 and keep posting subsequent numbers.
That is all
BlackSheep got it!
3 is my favorite number, donkey kong is my 2nd Sadistic!
Post up your e-mail with some spacing in it so you don't get bot raped and I will send you the key!
*fire works, explosions and naked chicks*

So I recieved one of those "Hey, everyone at work would totally LOVE this e-mail" e-mails from a co-worker and in that e-mail I stumbled upon, what I believe to be, an image of Destructoids very own Jim Sterling when he was a biter and not a nibbler.
Could this be he?

I saw this list up on MSN (yes I know and I am at work and bored) and for some reason unknown to me I immediately thought of Ron Workman when I clicked on in...am I weird now?
Also, this is pretty much my first post that is in the one sentence range.
7 awesome dude with wicked beards

Well financed that amount and I get possession of our house on April 4th!!!!!
That's right me and my girlfriend are pretty much done (except the lawyer mumbo jumbo) buying our first house (well town house), not to shabby for a 22 year old! So I will be busy packing up my stuff and all that fun stuff over the next two weeks followed by unpacking.
The only time I will have access to a computer for a bit will be at work, which is where I am right now. So you will see maybe less of me, who knows. I'm sure .002% of people will be affected by this...lol :(
This is just too damn exciting as not having to pay rent and putting the cash pretty much back into our own pockets is a bonus, yay equity! Plus working at a bank helps as you get some nice deals on mortgages.
The only down side is to this is that I won't be able to just run out and buy any game that interests me, I will have to budget! A bonus though is that now I can have my PS3 hooked up to the internet 24/7 instead of packing it down stairs so I can play online which is/was very lame.
Well that is my story and as you can tell I am excited!!!

Sorry for the long title but all these damn posts blend in and look boring...lol
I would love to win a new computer and as the last competition went if I win this contest (this time, damn Thronn) I will give my current computer away to someone less fortunate within Destructoid. If this happens it wouldn't include the keyboard, mouse, external Seagate HDD, speakers, glow in the dark fan or porn collection and they will have to pay for shipping to said location. Still nice, warm and fuzzy though.
So without further adieu here is my computer that I bought about 2 years ago and gradually upgraded as the more intense games came out.
2xAMD 4600+ CPU
600 watt OCZ PSU
8800 GTS 320mb SSC
2gigs of, came with the computer, ram
1x320gig HDD
1x500 gig external Seagate HDD
1x250 Older brand HDD
(yeah thats over a terabyte)
Logitech G11
Logitech Optical mouse, on sale for $34.99
Logitech 5.1 surround sound
19" HP LCD, no hi-def :(
Little blue led fan to help GPU temps
Pimping blue/green glow in the dark fan for keeping the GPU cool during those intense gaming moment.
Have to keep it off the floor as it helps keep dust out.
My computer desk: Messy yes; awesome, yes; to die for, not certain.
Damn near up skirt! I'm a fan of Tod Marlene's toys.
Some more toys and not to toot my own horn but the alien vs predator one rocks my socks.
Side shot of the top right of my desk which is covered in junk. That snow man/salt shaker has a little bottle of Russian vodka in it, bamboo tree is just sweet, and that race car goes damn near 50km/hr and is battery powered while that hand is just creepy.
There we have it, this is my, not my Turning Point gaming rig!

I'm going to go with Aerith Gainsborough (Aeris)on this one.
Aeris is, or was, a simple flower girl who's life gets entwined with the main character, Cloud (OMIEGAWDS we <3 CLOUD) after meeting him in an alley.
She was the kind of character that the majority of people ended up leaving in the party menu, rather than in the party, thinking "oh, I'll level her up later...." as she sucked hardcore in battles. There was; however, a small percentage of people (.01%) that actually leveled her up and unknown to all players, that 1st play through (of epic portions !!!SPOILERS..LOL!!!)
there will never be that later time to level her up as she DIES!
Schwack!
I would find her to be a tragic hero as she gave her life to her friends/loved ones, sacrificed herself for the better of the world as she became "part" of the planet and brought upon Holy. Aeris gave the ulitma sacrifice (see what I did thar!) and became the tragic hero.
Aeris was such a tragic hero that her actions out of the game world made grown men cry, made them restart their game to see if they might have messed up in game play to try to save her and even made people go as far as to write a letter to Square in complete disgust that they offed such a character as they were hoping that she might have lived, married Cloud and had little Clarie babies.
Who knows how the game would have turned out if she could dodge a fricken sword better!

All you hear about now a days on the internets is how heartless EA is with their business tactics and poor support. Well I am here to tell you that the buck stops here!
CBC.news wrote the story stating how EA Games now gives employees EVERY Feb 29th off! How can you not love a company that can pull this crazy magic stunt! I wish every employer could do this. Personally I have nothing against EA and 7/10 times I like what they bring to the table but I think that this is more of a publicity stunt than anything else.
Link, not from Zelda

I get all the juicy info as I am a Home Beta tester and by juicy info I mean automated emails. I have been a beta tester of Home since the dawn of time and I have literally spent maybe 1 hour with home and gave up as hanging around with five other people isn't much fun.
Anyways, I just received an Email telling me to go online for a "test gathering" Wednesday and to also grab the update to the beta. I'm thinking that if they are still working on updates for a beta that we will be waiting a bit (TONS) longer for the release of a title that was said to be released when sliced bread was considered a delicacy.
Here is the list as to what is going to be updated in this "test gathering":
-New User Interface and extensive graphics engine improvements
-New central outdoor space: Home Square
-Avatar and clothing management combined and improved into The Wardrobe
-Marketplace: clothes, furniture, items and apartments
-New Home Space to test: Summer House
-Put your own pictures up in your Home Space
-Video feeds directly into the Home Theater from Crackle.com
So who knows when this will all be over and Home can be downloaded and enjoyed by everyone.
