I'm a woman who loves her video games. I'm also pretty much a nerd for all that is nerdy: MST3K/Riff Trax, Star Wars, Anime/Manga, Kevin Smith, X-men Comics, and of course all things video games. Someday, I would look to get paid to write for and/or about video games. I'm awesome, so it'll will probably happen.
I have a strong hatred for the Atlantic Ocean.
Yoshi BBFs forever: Me, Suff0cat, Wardrox, and ScottyG.
Preferred games are RPGs and puzzle games. I like the occasional FPS (Timesplitters: FuturePerfect being my favorite) and some racing (Burnout Reveeeeenge).
Current Games: Burnout Paradise
Left 4 Dead
Space Invaders Extreme
Harvest Moon Island of Happiness
Chrono Trigger DS
My Project 365 That link is to some of my photography/photoshop art done for Project 365. If you don't know what Project 365 is, GOOGLE IT DUH.
I just wanted to write you guys a letter telling you how awesome it is that you guys are around. As I pack up my apartment and get ready for my semester in England (THREE MORE DAYS OMGGGGG) I realized that the hardest part about leaving was saying goodbye to all my Destructoid friends.
Dtoid NY, you guys rock. Thanks for throwing me a going away party, it was good times. All of the crazy adventures we had in NY, NJ and PA were awesomely epic. The video of us playing Rock Band (I'M TIIINOOOOO!) cracks me up every time. I would elaborate more on this, but I think this is an ATV trail and it's about time to turn back.
OOO OOO OOOO OOOOOO!
Super awesome thank you goes out to Nerdfit and Cataract for helping me and Angie move my stuff yesterday. Even if it was work it was till fun to hang out with you guys. Sorry I could only pay you in Chinese food.
Destructoid has helped me find people who are not only fun to play games with, but also just cool to hang out with in general. I used to feel like I was kind of a weirdo and didn't belong anywhere. Almost no one at my college plays video games. Ever since joining the community here I've become more confident in who I am and I know that there's a place where I belong.
Video unrelated but awesome
I know it's kind of mushy, but Dtoid and all the people here have made my life so much better. I have tons of new awesome friends, a great boyfriend, and a job all thanks to this site. My life has changed so much it's not even funny. Leaving America behind isn't as hard now, since I will always have my badass friends here in the innernets.
So thank you Destructoid, for helping me meet some of the coolest people ever, and giving me a place where I belong :) Special shout outs to everyone I met at PAX, IRC, and Stickam <3
aw I wanted to get my meetings and hi in before something like this happened.
I enjoyed are 1 and possibly only time playing Ikaruga back during your first (at least I think it was.) FNF. Although it was my goofy friend playing L4D with everyone last week, I was behind her in spirit....in many ways possible. >_> <_<.
I seriously want some L4D in at some point though. Have a fun over there.
Chelsea I'm going to miss you a lot!!!! I'm so glad we've gotten to hang out many times in the past few months. I know you're going to be super happy in England, but please come back!!
I'll set aside the fake L4D hatred for a second here.
Chels, you better be at PAX09 so we can hang out in the real worlds again. Also, so we can anger peoples at Freezepop concerts because "they waited in line for 2 hours!" :P
Your Pal, Suff0cat...aka the dude Om Nom'ing yo face in L4D
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Have a great time across the pond!
I heard there maybe a narp at the end of/beginning of next month down in London. Talk about great timing!
"Forget about Dtoid NY, it's all about Dtoid UK :-D "
Seriously? I'm about to kill you in the face. Dtoid NY > all other Dtoid groups.
Black Yoshi Brigade forever!
Stupid pictures getting cut off. Right click and view plz. <3
Oh, and it's ok, you're coming to the fucking kick-ass North of England, free from the posh twats and southern weirdos. :P
I heard Edge-Hill is a cool uni, but I don't go there, so I could be wrong.
Seriously, It's great you're coming to the North-west, we are a bunch of friendly people here, you'll fit in just fine!
Go to Manchester if you can, it's a really cool place, just expect to be raped by the prices of clothes, I got used to it, seeing as I have a job! ;)
AND DON'T SHOP AT PRIMARK, IT'S SHIT AND HAS THE WORST QUALITY CLOTHING, I used to work there, for 2 years. :(
BUT, expect people to laugh at your accent, hey I'll bet you'll laugh at ours.
...I think you are going to Edge-Hill, in IRC you mentioned that. I dunno
Wish you all the best of luck on your jouney here. :D
Fuck, I hope joining this community pays off for me as well as this.
Good luck in England, watch out for the chavs tho!
Dtoid NY Vs Dtoid UK
It's on!
@The GHost:
Shhhhhhhhhh! Now they know my weakness!
@Mushman:
The west (Wales) > t'north + t'south
That is one of the drunkest looking pictures of myself I have ever seen.

We, the Dtoid Community love you TOO!! Good luck with everthing in England! <3
Shit, I gotta visit wales more, a south/north combination is blasphemous, but intriguing as hell!
DtoidLosAngeles is the best, but I'm glad you're happy with what you have. :)
Also, OMG PANCAKES. :D
Get back on teh intarwebs soon!
Chels, you better be at PAX09 so we can hang out in the real worlds again. Also, so we can anger peoples at Freezepop concerts because "they waited in line for 2 hours!" :P

Seriously, so excited that your coming! Can't wait to eat crumpets and ....discus colours that Wardrox has not tried in his hair? lol
Toodle-pip!
Come to London and I'll take to you Jack The Ripper's old haunt for a cheeky pint.
Best of luck... If you are in the North West(?) then The Lake District is the land to get lost in.
Oh, and I hear there is a job going in a cabbies somewhere around too. Tell 'em you know Jim Sterling.
