I unfortunately had a case of the "Nerd Flu" when I came back from PAX, but it was worth it. I met so many amazing people I can't wait to see them again.
My good friend Senisan had introduced me to Destructoid back in 2006. I’ve been a lurker for quite some time, but didn’t sign up until last year when he showed me how active he was in the community. It was very refreshing to actually see that this site was different from all other gaming sites. It even spawned some of it’s own memes! I quickly became involved in the Dtoid New England events thanks to him. This year at PAX was something I could never imagine. Granted I was at PAX in ’07 and it was fun, but ’09 was just too awesome to truly describe. So I’m going to try anyway!
Note: Some of these pictures display a pose known as a “Bboy Stance,” I used to be a "professional breakdancer" and this just happens to be a pose used to show how bad ass one is. Enjoy!

Newgrounds.com had a contest to win a rare pink castle crasher. To enter you had to make an edible pink castle crasher. I entered with an 8 1/2" tall pink castle crasher, made of rice krispie treats, fondant, and love.
I won a rare pink castle crasher figure! Contest winners!
Hiya, I am rawnewdlz [ rô. nūd'l s ] Same name across all interwebs and consoles.
Playing vg's has become my escape from the mundane ritual of work/eat/sleep. I no longer stay active or sleep often because I have a baby. I never had many gaming friends, but I hope to be able to catch a game w/Dtoiders whenever I have time and no longer have to listen to random teenyboppers complaining.
If I ever get to cross paths with fellow Dtoiders I wish to high five you for being awesome!
Currently playing:

-Shadow of the Colossus (replaying)
