10. I Like Men Like for realsies. This was something I struggled with accepting over the years, but I�ve recently figured things out and I honestly couldn�t be happier with myself. I�ve already told a few of you this, and I�ve debated wh...

 
 
 

Steezy and Smurfee's PAX Adventure (Pictures!)

August 25th, 2011 was the start of something amazing. I had a flight to Seattle, Washington at 1:00pm and when I woke up that morning I had no idea what the next four days would entail. I didn't know if the people I would be staying with wo...

 
 
 

We Are Destructoid: You Are My Family

Groundhog Day: Seven Legendary Stars

There is only one game that comes to mind when I think of that one game that I absolutely have to play again and again, more so than many others. Super Smash Bros. is a game I love to play with my cousins all the time, but surprisingly, t...

 
 
 
 

Unwinding the Mind: Happy New Year!

Adopt A Black Child for PAX

Ok, ok. I'm only half black and I'm technically an adult now, but still, how could you deny the cuteness of little leprechaun-looking me! WARNING!: The last picture at the bottom of this blog is a little NSFW. Just a little heads-up. So...

Adventures in the Amazon (& GameStop) Part Thrice

There�s a reason why it�s always good to come out to your family and tell them that you�re a gamer. That reason usually comes in the form of GameStop gift cards. Generally for my birthday and Christmas, my non-immediate family knows that G...

 
 
 

Adventures in the Amazon Part Deux

I apologize for scaring you with my big ugly mug. You guys see this face? This is the face of a young black man being woken up by loud bangs to my front door at 9 in the morning. I WAS NOT HAPPY. However, my mood quickly changed after ...

 
 
 

Adventures in the Amazon

I�ve decided that I want to start building my video game collection. The most games I�ve ever owned at one time is somewhere around 10-15 games. Having been younger, I was hardly able to save any money to buy a new game. I either had to w...

 
 
 

Something About E3: Nintendo Fans Rejoice!

So we all know that at this year�s press conference, Nintendo had a very strong showing, whether you�re a fan of Nintendo or not, you can't say that this is not true. Two years ago, however, was a different story. If you for some reason m...

 
 
 

It Runs In The Family: Memories That Last Forever Pt.2

It Runs In The Family: Memories That Last Forever Pt.1

Everyone on Destructoid has a reason for how they became gamers, and for a few of us, our siblings were a big part of that reason. My brothers are the reason I�m such an avid gamer today. I would like to share my story with you all. [Siden...

 
 
 

WTF Happened To My Game!?

Now look at that. I bet nostalgia just kicks in just looking at that picture. I know it did for me. I think Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the first game I�ve ever played and beat. I just have so many memories with this game. The well-crafted st...

 
 
 

Let Me Into Your Club!! (Introduction)

About SteezyXLone of us since 12:03 PM on 03.26.2008

HELLO there!

The name's James and I'm 24. I reside in the beautiful Bay Area in California. I've been gaming for as long as I can remember. Being a 90's kid, I of course grew up playing the Sega Genesis and NES being accompanied by Sonic The Hedgehog and the old school Mario Bros. I had so many games for my NES up until my NES broke and my dad decided to give the games away since I was busy occupying my new SNES. From there I pretty much owned any system that Nintendo made and enjoyed my childhood as a natural born gamer.

I now own all three consoles and try to be open-minded when playing various video games. Expect to see me write about my experiences with video games on this here blog!
