Artemus's profile



Life is my hobby. Video games are my life.

I enjoy many other things, but that's not important here... We're here for the love of video games, dammit!

I've been a loyal, addicted member of Destructoid since March of 2008.
Thank you Niero! Helluva site, man!

I've been a hardcore gamer since I received a N.E.S. Christmas of 1987. Can't believe it's been that long! I don't believe I'll ever stop playing video games.

Systems and games come and go, but one thing remains... A great game will never, eeeeever be forgotten.

**Currently(November 2009), I'm busy as hell with:

*New Super Mario Bros. Wii - I've been dreaming of a new 2D side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. console game to come out for years and so far this game has surpassed each and every one of my wishes. It truly is one solid Nintendo Mario platforming Miyamoto masterpiece.

*Excitebike: World Rally - An unexpected blast from the past! I'll never, ever forget that theme music! Ever.

*Mario Kart DS - Dry Bones in the Dry Bomber! Possibly one of the best Mario Kart games in the storied franchise. It's damn near perfect... Do you snake?!

*Donkey Kong(Arcade) - Every Monday, after a delicious Philly Cheese Steak, my friend Eric and I play this at a local arcade/game store(Phoenix Games). We're training hard to one day defeat the greats that are Mitchell and Wiebe. By the way, if you haven't seen The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters you are doing yourself a great deal of injustice. Go out and rent it. Now. Go.



**Games I can't wait for:
-Castlevania the Adventure Rebirth
-Super Mario Galaxy 2
-Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles
-Dark Void
-God of War III
-Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
-Heavy Rain

Hit me up, so we can exchange lame, super ridiculous Nintendo Wii "codes" and play some Brawl or Kart.
Then witness Luigi kick your Nintendo fanboy ass all over the screen, junior! After you tire of Luigi beating tha living hell out of you we can exchange cool, created levels. You can then go practice your pathetic ways and seek revenge.
