Magnalon's profile

I figured a little introduction was in order in case people were curious. My name is Chris, and I have been enjoying Destructoid avidly since late 2008. I finally decided to make an account and start blogging in January of 2009.

I'm in my 20s, I'm newlywed, and I've been playing games since I was 4. I still remember buying my own NES system at Sears and going home and playing Mario/Duck Hunt. Fast forward to the present, my wife and I now own a PS3 and 360, and in the winter of 2009, we bought a Wii simply so we could play New Super Mario Brothers Wii. If I had to choose a system I had the "best times" with, it would be a two way tie between the Sega Dreamcast and Sony Playstation 2.

There are too many good games out to count now, but recently I've been itching to play my backlog of old PS2 action games. I'll play anything and everything action-adventure, so if you have a game in mind, drop me a line!

Are you not satisfied?
Here's an in-depth 10 things about me post that will enlighten you further

I'm also the Editor-In-Chief, and writer for Gamer Limit
