About Me

I am also a contributer on Damnlag dot com. You can read my column, Broken Pixels and check out all the other great stuff we've got going on there. Just remember to wear pants.

Anyway, about me...

My name is Jack Ninivaggi AKA Wandering Pixel, and I'm here to rock your world! Or at least cause some sort of tremor.

I live over on the east coast in New Jersey. My favorite types of games are those that have great writing. I'm going to college right now and plan on majoring in either communications or literature. When I'm not playing games I'm either reading a book or comic, watching a movie or sleeping. I'm a huge fan of animation and my favorite thing to do is watch old animated films, I'm also a theater geek, and frequently make trips to New York to watch the latest musicals and plays on Broadway. one day I plan on making a living by writing, though I haven't yet decided what kind of writing I want to do. Anyway, this is my blog. Enjoy!

I'm Thankful for... wanderingpixel | 2:06 PM on 11.26.2009 6 comments

I’m Thankful for… Level caps at 55 The mute button for Xbox Live Netflix on the PS3 Sharing loot between you and me Guns whose reload times are fast Guys who shout, “Move your ass!” Napalm grenades when you’re cornered Allies who can obey orders Men who dress in robes and armor Harvest Moon for budding farmers M16s and RPGs Spawn killing, to a degree Fists of fury and roundhouse kicks Bosses who only take three hits 2D Sonic and Mega Man games Well rendered in-game flames Mobile gaming getting better Open world games with changing weather Old time favorites, like split screen play Sims that let me play it my way Horror games with atmosphere Objectives that are very clear King of the hill and capture the flag Dedicated servers without lag But the thing I’m thankful for the most Destructoid.com and fanboy posts. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
