Hey Dtoid. Welcome to perritoid!

I'm a 21 year old artist fresh out of University. While I was there I experimented mostly with Animation, Video, and Games.

The lovely Anthony Burch* recently featured the fruits of my experimentation here on Destructoid as part of the Indie Nation Series Which probably is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me! One of many reasons why I love Destructoid.

*The Resident Person Named Anthony Who Isn't Anthony Perri.

My first console was the SNES. It remains my favourite, and I've been playing games ever since without pause. Recently I've been a little burned out on the modern sensibilities of a suddenly overwhelmingly Western market. Most of the HD games don't appeal to me. I love my Wii and have undergone, because of this, a sort of Retro-Renaissance of my own.

When I discovered RFGO I immediately went out and bought a second SNES and a bunch of games, since then I've dived into the Virtual Console and tried to buy as many cartridges as I could!


That said, I've been able to get my hands on a pretty powerful iMac and, with the help of Bootcamp, may have been converted into something of a PC gamer courtesy of Valve. Seriously, Steam is amazing...



Oh one other thing that you may be interested in is that I AM ON DIAL UP. ugh.
Luckily my iMac is pretty much portable so if I need to download a game or play some L4D my friends are more than happy to have me.

Want to know more? remember those 10 things... posts? I was a little late.
