I'm doing it wrong.

So, apparently people usually introduce themselves when they join Destructoid. Yeah...never did that, so I'll give it a go despite lurking around the site for about a year now.

My name's Rob, and I've loved videogames ever since I was exposed to them with my cousins for the first time in Indonesia. Mario Bros and Contra baby! My dad never wanted us to get a system, because he knew it would melt our minds. But in 2002, I got my hands on a PSOne. Yeah, I know I was way behind on the curve. Still it was an awesome time, playing Tekken 3 with my brother and working my way through FFVII.

I got a PS2 two years later, and just this christmas I finally got around to the PS3. I've built up a solid PS2 collection over the years (pictured below), and hope to have a PS3 collection to rival it by the time I adopt the PS4.

I never really liked the 360, the pad feels really weird to me, though I tolerate it to play some G.R.A.W. co-op occasionally. As for the Wii, Brawl seems to be its only saving point, and only with the Gamecube controller. I don't understand how anyone could play competitively with the Wii controls.

I guess I'm a bit of a fanboy. I will admit though, Sony's handling of the PS3 has been ABYSMAL. They deserve to be behind for this console generation.

I also play me some PC games, though nothing that has come out in the last 2 years. I don't have the specs for that stuff. Still, I've been happy with Deus Ex, Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft 3, and Half-Life 2. Oh, and like Anthony Burch I like Indie games!

Anyway, behold my collection!



















That lone 360 game? My brother wanted me to buy it for him so he could play it over friend's houses, 'cuz he likes virtual titties a bit too much :P

Anyway, thanks for a good year Destructoid, and I'm sure the trend will continue. Hopefully I haven't sucked :)

Very nice collection of PS2 games! Reminds me that I need a few of those. God Hand is one of my favorites, how is Samurai Champloo? I didn't even know that game existed!
