Greetings. I am poor at writing bios, so please bear with me.

My name is Derek, but you probably know me better as Roku. I am unsure of what to say aside from that. Obviously, I enjoy playing RPGs. I like a variety of other games as well. I don't watch that much TV these days, but I've been catching up on reading and writing. Perhaps some day my workload will decrease to the point where I can balance everything.
A little more about me:

HP: Low
Energy: Good
Power: Average
Defense: Average
Speed/Evade: Exceptional

Likes: Video Games, Programming, Writing, Reading, Anime
Dislikes: Filler, games freezing especially if I haven't saved in a while
Fears: Those shrieking zombies in Zelda games, the giant grabbing hands in Zelda games, doppelgangers

Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 - Staff Review

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 by Derek "Roku" Cavin | Posted in DS Reviews, Reviews, Traditional RPG Reviews

Following up last year’s Naruto RPG comes the next in the series, this time taking things in a slightly different direction. Rather than pick up where the first game left off, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 takes place at some unknown period after the first game, quite late in the anime series, with a side story not found in the anime. This time around, Naruto and allies must collect five mirrors in order to seal away a being of great evil that has begun to break free. (more…)

Persona 4 Social Link Expansion Pack

Thursday, October 9th, 2008 by Derek "Roku" Cavin | Posted in Game Media, Game News

If you need more Persona 4 goodies, Atlus has them for you on Amazon.com or Amazon.ca.  It’s called the Persona 4 Social Link Expansion Pack, and, it includes a Teddie plushie, a Konohana Sakuya t-shirt, a second soundtrack CD, and a calendar to count the many days you’ll be playing the game.  The whole package retails for $29.99, but since quantities will be limited, you’ll have to act fast.  For clarity, it should be pointed out that this does not include the game.  That must be bought separately.
