One of the not so well known retro secrets is that the TurboGrafix-16 was once home to some of the best console strategy games of its time. Well, at least that's how I remember it. Regardless, it's no secret that Milita... read

[Gallery] Swipe or use arrow keysAbout Dysonone of us since 3:20 AM on 10.30.2006
When not protecting the world from the injustices on all things non-awesome, I have some time to play some games. Not much time, but I do what I can. There's a lot of non-awesome in the world, so myself and the rest of the members of Team Awesome stay quite busy.
Also, I live in San Francisco, so if you're in the area or see me around say hi. I promise I won't bite. I work full-time for two different video game related companies. At one I test the vidja games. At the other I do PR for video games. Eventually I will only be doing the PR gig, so I'll finally have some free time in which I can return to hosting RetroforceGO!
I'd tell you the names of the companies, but I think the one I test for would probably have a hissy fit if their legal department knew there was a Destructoid Associate Editor in their testing department ;)
Random bullshit:
I like pizza rolls
Diet Pepsi is win
I have a yellow Cuban pimp suit
I'm Scorpio
SNES was prolly my most favorite system
I have a cape and wear it often
I do not like banana flavored candy of any kind
I drink beer from brown paper bags
Weezer's El Scorcho pretty much describes me
You can always crash on my couch
I flip a coin like Two-face to make decisions
