About Me
What's to say? I like videogames, otherwise, why would I be here? Other than that, I'm a college student (UC Berkeley 2010)and I do journalism. I was Co-Editor in Chief at my junior college paper, The Oak Leaf, until I transfered to Berkeley. You can read it online here. I even had a games column which is surprisingly popular, and people get a kick out of it.

I also write for a tech blog at LogicTV. It's a cool; check it out.

Here's my Vox account

Myspace

And I have a Facebook, but I still don't really understand it. Hit me up if you feel like it!



Oh! My Brawl code is 0559-6428-1240

Let me know, so I can add you.

Holy effing cow. That last twenty four hours have been fucking balls-to-the-wall nuts.

I kid you not, it's been fucking epic.

Of course, mostly it was because of the kick-ass NARP thrown together for Saturday, and many of you already know of the crazy shit that was happening on Stickum (which I was on for about only 5 minutes), but you guys don't even know half of the story.

Shit, I played Rock Band, my copy of Rock Band, with not only the community manager of Rock Band from Harmonix, but also Alex Navarro of former Gamespot fame. Both were hella chill, and it was fucking sweet! I was able to freaking talk about new DLC with them, and even talk journalism with Alex. Shit, I never thought that would ever happen.

There was the dude from Behemoth who is the fucking art director of Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid. There was the dude from EA, dudes from Gamecock, and this hella chill woman named Christina (I think! I was drinking!) who was wearing a Tokidoki shit and turned out to be an Art Director of Bioware! She effing worked on Mass Effect! I swear, she's working on the next effing Star Wars game. Kick ass.

Dude. It fucking rocked.

Of course, I guess I didn't do my best to hide my, um, enthusiasm, cause Husky could tell I was geeking out. Great. Well, what the hell would you have done? Fucking sit on your ass while people you fucking want to be are walking around you? It was AWESOME.

Fuck. We need another Nor-Cal NARP, STAT. It rules.

And damn, I've had about four hours of sleep in the last 30 hours. I'm going down.

Sounds epic (and it sure looked like it on Stickam). Wish I could’ve been there...but the New York one in two weeks should be just as fun!

I could tell your excitement as well, man, and in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with letting the fanboy out every so often...its good for the soul :P

Anyway, the party and people left SUCH an impression on me that I've been checking the c-blogs religiously now...even at work with that seminar that I'm working on (I remember telling you about it :P). Therefore I've got to get back to it! Later!
