Hey whats up Destructoid. I've been on here for a little while-not as a member, but just reading the front page and listening to the podcasts. I've decided that I like this place a lot so I'm joining, which i have already done.

irl my name's michael and im 14. no, I do not like "da haloz", but I do like "da half-lifez" and "da left 4 deadz". I don't even own an Xbox, but I do own a Wii, a DS(not the DS Lite. The original.), a PC that I hand-built myself, a Game Boy Color and a Dreamcast, which I just got last night off ebay. yay me. I also like anime. Most recently I saw The Places Promised In Our Early Days and once saw all of Cowboy Bebop in one sitting. It was epic.


Bleach is also good


I really like writing and really want to be a writer when I'm older. preferrably for Capcom, Level-5 or Atlus. I like the games they release-except for Atlus, because I have never played an Atlus game in my life. Woe is me. I also am interested in psychology and personality and human emotions and stuff like that. For some reason I seem to like that kind of stuff. Probably runs in my family (nearly everyone on my dad's side is a doctor and my mom is a retired doctor).

I live in the San Fransisco area and would like to meet some community members in/around SF. Most of my friends talk about Pokemon and Brawl and it would be great to talk about Ikaruga(which I own for the Gamecube) or Final Fantasy 6. Actually, I'd like to meet all of you. You guys seem cool and hip and awesome.

I also love ramen
