I was raised on the Commodore and 386 computers, and then Sega Genesis. Thus my gaming identity was formed by a steady diet of Shareware(one word: Apogee), floppy disks, and rented Genesis games.
From there I went into the pupae stage with the Saturn and Nintendo 64, emerging from my cocoon with an Xbox.
These days, my time is spent on my 360 and Dreamcast. My PSP mostly finds use as an awkward mp3 player.
I work in advertising in NYC. As a graduate of PSU, when I'm not playing games or murdering vagrants, I'm following college football(JoePa is my religion)
Currently in rotation: Halo 3 ODST
Far Cry 2
Turok
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Here is yet another cblog dedicated to this awesome day.
I just want to extend my thanks and happy birthday wishes to Neiro and everyone else who makes this place what it is. Also, happy birthday Samit!
I'm relatively new to this whole thing, but this crazy place has already had an awesome impact on me. I had been a lurker for maybe half a year when I started commenting sometime around October. I didn't get going on the cblog kick until late January.
I know the story sounds typical, but I've never had any inclination to comment on any website I've ever visited. Let alone start up a blog like this. The crazy thing is people actually respond to the crap I write about.
In my short time here, I've even managed to meet up with cool cats from the Dtoid NY crew. It was a completely foreign experience for me, to meet up with and sing karaoke with people that I never met before. But it was completely awesome. I can't wait to meet even more people from this community.
So Neiro, I don't know you. You don't know me. But I know a little about this creation of yours, and it's unbelievably amazing. So hats off to you. I hope you enjoyed the anniversary/birthday celebrations, because you deserve it.
I find this Jefferson Starship song incredibly relevant to Destructoid today.
PS: Today I got a beta key for Battlefield Heroes. So if any of you are in it, let me know.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun.
