That's me. I really like zombie stuff, pretty much every type of video game, drawing things (It's been like six months), play music in a band, and am a geek. Very much so, in fact. Also, I drew the Maxx that I'm using in my header. It's going to stay there until I hit some inspiration for some video game artwork.

My job is to make the computers and electronics at my work rise again from the dead. It's alright, as jobs go. Of course, since I'm heavily into computers, I either have or have had every major type of personal computer known to man... so if you ever want to discuss computer things, I can probably have a lengthy conversation about it.

I live in the mostly sunny Central Florida, and have for about 16 years now. I'm pretty sure I'm too old to be playing games anymore, but I really don't see that ending any time soon and hope it never will.

I have a gaming PC (C2D E6550 2.33Ghz/8800GTS 512), PS2, Dreamcast, N64, DS, PSP, Xbox 360 and PS3, but I have owned an Odyssey2, Aquarius, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, Genesis, GameBoy (as well as Advance and SP), PS1, Xbox, and a Wii as well. They've all either been broken, sold, or have been grudgingly traded in for the "next best thing" due to lack of funds to buy them outright.

I read fanatically, and even though I have plenty of different books there are several that are read over and over again. Pretty much anything that William Gibson or Terry Pratchett have done are my favorites, but there are plenty of writers that still get my attention. To be certain, I'm happy Rhianna Pratchett is writing for videogames.

Don't call it a comeback...

Sorry, couldn't help the LL Cool J reference. I love that song.

Not like anyone is going to care that I'm back, but hey! I'm back. Last time I was seen around here was March, soon after the Miami NARP (once again, thanks for a good time you Dtoid staff people!), and I decided at the time that it was a good time for a sabbatical from the good old robot. Now that I'm back to playing games and schtuff I figured I'd wander back.

Plus, who would Funktastic claim stole his avatar if I don't come back?

I don't want to make this long, since I'm basically only posting for input on something I'm working on. It's my first real drawing since March, and I'm wondering if you all could help me with an idea. To be perfectly honest, it's not complete, and it will go through more reworking (The head and lower body, particularly) before I decide to color and put a name too it and all that, but here it is:



The question is: What should the robot be conquering? For the life of me, I have no idea. So, please LET ME KNOW! Hopefully one of you has a good idea, because I can't figure it out.

HELP MEEEeeeEEEeeee!

And for the benefit of all:

I'm glad that you are back!

As for who the robot should be conquering... that's tough. Destructoid doesn't have any real enemies, except for maybe trolls and fanboys that get mad at us for not liking exactly what they like in the exact amount they like it.

Black and white trolls aren't that fun though...

@Jon: Glad I'm back, too. I was thinking bad video games are a pretty good enemy, but it's tough to think of how I would represent that. And it's not going to stay in black and white. It's just how I sketch.

Welcome back!!

If you draw an actual troll with pointy ears and everything, I'm sure most people would make the connection.

@Ron: Wow... now that totally has to happen. Might not be able to post it here. Perhaps NSFW?

@Celica: Thank you! Yes, it is probable that most people would understand. I'll do a couple different things then and choose what turns out best.

If the penis doesn't have a head you should be fine.
