About Me



I'm a wannabe gaming journalist and full-time media whore. I run Gamescrap.com, a site dedicated to really bad games.

I'm also a reviewer on GamerWithin.com, a full-fledged and totally professional gaming site. By that I mean, they don't sell out to the highest bidder, looks way better than my site, and actually has a community. The Yin to Gamescrap's Yang.

About me: I enjoy insane amounts of coffee and rockstar energy drinks, punk rock shows, and whatever else I can get into. I'm open to anything pretty much...I tend to go with the flow.So in essence, this myspace site can be considered the "all things Gamescrap and Dr. Swank". I'll provide insight to the site, post news on what's going on and articles that have been written, bulletins on site happenings and all of that. You know...a shill page.If you want to know more about me...well, my list of favorites pretty much speak for themselves, so I'll let them do the talking ;).

My Interests

Smoking, playing bingo while smoking, video games, watching girls make out, going to the world's greatest arcade (Manitou, Colorado), summer time, drinking Rockstar and Bawls, bar hopping, drinking coffee, discovering the lost art of conversation, going to punk rock / ska shows, Casa Bonita, spending days at the lake or at Seattle Center, collecting pot holders and fridge magnets, correcting everyone's grammar to make myself feel smart, Sushi, Thai, Chinese, and Mexican food.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who's willing to meet me I suppose. Jerry Springer, Jello Biafra, Fat Mike, Nobuo Uematsu, Yoshiki Okamoto, and freakin Suda 51 because he's a badass!

Music:

I'm mostly into punk, ska, and metal. Bands I like are Less Than Jake, NOFX, Blue Meanies, MU330, KORN, Beastie Boys, AFI, Frenzal Rhomb, Beck, Faith No More, System of a Down, Slipknot, Cypress Hill, Anti Flag, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Deftones, Team Sleep, Rabbit Junk, The Shizit, Slayer, Megadeth, Cradle of Filth, FRENZAL RHOMB, Skankin' Pickle, Bruce Lee Band, Rise Against, Dead Kennedys, Beck, Let's Go Bowling, Telegraph, The Slackers, Bad Religion, Fabulous Disaster, Deadline, The Queers, Pennywise, The Vandals, Warlock Pinchers, Pop Will Eat Itself, RX Bandits, New Found Glory (yeah they're sellouts, so what?), Justin Sane, Old Incubus (when they rocked), old Sugar Ray (see also: Incubus), Ska King Crab, Mephiskapheles, The Alcoskalics, Orange Tree, Static X, At the Drive-In, Big D and the Kids Table, Dillenger Escape Plan, Circle of Dust, Good Riddance, Strung Out, Kicked in the Head, Nirvana, Red hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Shamus, Tribe Called Quest, DJ Funk, Teen Idols, Five Iron Frenzy, Telegraph, Front Line Assembly, Dimmu Borgir, Aiden, Streetlight Manifesto, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Hot Cross, Smashing Pumpkins. I can't remember too many more at the moment...

Movies:

Falling Down, any Star Wars movies, Austin Powers movies, Braveheart, Cabin Boy, Ed Wood, Throw Mamma from the Train, The Wizard, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, Office Space, Willy Wonka and the Choco Factory.

Television:

My TV time is limited, but I always find time to catch The Simpsons, MXC, Ninja-god damn-Warrior, Iron Chef, Family Guy, Futurama, Aqua Teen, Attack of the Show, X-Play, I love the 80's and 90's, anything with Hulk Hogan in it, the Surreal Life (all other reality TV is crap!), and marathons of Cops on a cold and lazy Sunday.

Books:

What's a book? I read Bartleby the Scrivener once in high school.

Heroes:

Jerry Springer who taught us to love trash, Steve Buscemi who showed us that we can be great actors without being pretty, Shigeru Miyamoto who has the greatest imagination ever, Yoshiki Okamoto who has made some of the best games ever, Fat Mike because the man shits gold, Rockstar Games for putting out edgy and great games, and Suda 51 who is quickly becoming my favorite game designer.

Wanna see my gaming habits?

Have you ever wanted to read what a game console has to say about its owner? Have you ever thought what's going through its mind? Screw the Dreamcast and its "It's Thinking..." campaign...the Xbox 360...
