Nine Things You Never Knew About /\/\ix!
mix | 2:40 PM on 02.01.2009 14 comments


Totally jumped on the bandwagon here, I was going to make a list with ten things but damn I had nothing to write in 10....

1) Besides video games, car stereos are a huge passion of mine and I actually had a complete car stereo before I even owned my first car and I’ve spent easily $10k in the past 9 years on said audio equipment. I’ve also attended around 15 or so competitions and I have 11 trophies and 5 certificates.

2) I am 23 and I am banker! That’s right I screwed you ALL over..mwa ha ha ha. Kidding as I live in Canada and we are doing pretty darn good and I have not lost a second of sleep worrying if my job is in jeopardy. I did four years of college and I received my BBA with my major in marketing and yeah, I now bank, weird.

3)  My lucky number!
I’m very empathetic and I get choked up easily, gotta problem? I got teary eyed at the end of Gran Torino and any sad chick flick (my GF likes em) I’ll be the one with watery eyes and not her. Hell, even if something overly happy happens I’ll tear up!

4) I’ve moved quite a bit in my life times, 9 times to be exact and I absolutely HATE IT!

5) I consider myself to be pretty artistic. I love to draw and sketch but I cannot get anything out of my head onto paper the way I want it to but I can look at a picture and re-create it. I love drawing cartoons but anything I try to draw that is life like (real people) = fail.

6) I love music, hence car stereos. I play guitar and piano and I am self taught in both areas. I can sit on my computer for hours making up stupid songs with audio programs. I love to tap and beat out rhythms and it annoys the crap out of anyone who can hear me as I guess I don’t know when to stop.

7) Someone else on Dtoid is deaf in their right ear, well I am very hard of hearing in my right ear and I was born that way. You can also re-create this amazing experience by getting someone to cover their mouth with their hand and talk to you as that’s what it sounds like in my right ear, all muffled up.

8) My favorite sports are Volleyball, Basketball and Ultimate (Frisbee) I currently play Vball every Monday night after work and I hope to get in on some Ultimate this summer as I need to get into shape….

9) I have a man room, that’s right a MAN ROOM! It’s got my computer desk (computer as well), trophies, beer fridge, figurines, wall scrolls, movies and games in it!

Thanks guys!

The man room is aweosme and if you dream hard enough one day you shall have one! That or tell your wife/fiance that she can have every other room in the house to decorate and that the man room is offlimits from her "tastes"

Once everything gets tidied up and all that I hope to have my "set up" on the front page :)

braulio09's Destructoid Blog
I started playing volleyball because of the various trips my school had to tournaments (school trips are always so awesome) and fell in love with it. It can be so beautiful and fast when played correctly. :)

 about me

PSN- Saffron
Steam- Mixmastaspig
Wii code: 321684684321673213573298763521687.254

I have finished 4 years of college and now have my Bachelors of Business Administration, with my major in marketing and I'm just your average Joe who frequents this site, especially when I am at work.
I missed the whole big bang of Destructoid (joined Nov '06) but I didn't miss the Dprime phrase, or Summa those were epik lulz and good times. I found this site while I was writing a report in college on piracy (don't ask me how...) and I've had friends and smelt good ever since.



My first video game console was a NES that my grandma bought me along with MegaMan and I must say that it was an amazing experience. I am pretty much open minded when it comes to video games and consoles but so far I must say that I am partial to Sony. I started out loving the Playstation solely because of Resident Evil as I frigging love zombie stuff! let's just say that I was mega jealous about the 360 getting dead rising, but my brother bought it and I hated it.

Call me a Sony fanboy if you will but I also own and still have these other amazing systems with a crap load of games to go with 'em:

Nes, SNES, GameCube, DS, Wii (no N64, I know), Playstation (mom has it), PS2, PSP, PS3, Dream Cast and an Xbox. I plan on getting a 360 as well in the future sometime but I want to know that it wont RROD on me. I don't even own one and it scares me.



Mix's top 10 favorite games/series that he just loves to play (In no specific order)

-Silent Hill
-Resident evil
-Final Fantasy (9 was a fail)
-Mario Paint
-Deus Ex (#2, not so tight)
-7th Saga (It'll make grown men cry it's so freaking hard)
-Command and Conquer
-Metal Gear Solid
-Diablo
-Anything FPS, I'm pretty much a sucker for decent FPS titles: (Cod4, Bioshock, F.E.A.R, Dues Ex...etc) and no not Crysis game play is Vanilla bland.


I made a D-toid song and I got a e-mail from Knee Row saying I f*cking rule, so if you can ch-ch-ch-check it out.
