At GDC? Come party with Astro Gaming + Dtoid tonight! photo

Next week Destructoid turns four years old.  Redunkulous.  As is customary, we hope to get all of our friends together and cause irreparable damage to our vital organs and professional reputation (ha!).  If you're reading this thing and can produce a convincing 21+ over identification you're invited to go down with us:

Astro Gaming presents Destructoid's 4th Anniversary Party @ GDC! 

Open bar and tapas start at 7pm, followed by Snuggie pole vaulting and mountain goat petting, or whatever the DJ has in mind.  The Astro Lounge is just a few blocks away from the convention center between Folsom and Harrison.  For a map, directions and fancypants RSVP visit www.Destructoid.com/4year.  We will do our best to accommodate the guest list, but please arrive early as our piñata defacing space is limited.  Astro will also be showcasing new gear that they'll soon reveal at GDC, which we'll bring to you on video soon.

Look for additional updates on the Destructoid Facebook page.  We hope to see you there! 4 years! Whoo!

Alas, that whole "now being hundreds of miles to the west" thing is kind of a crimp in the plan for me.

These Astro gaming redirects are FUCKED.
If i post a comment and hit 'back to post' it takes me to the astro site everytime.

Is this a mistake?

OK i REALLY got it figured out this time.
It's not the link, it's this..

<div onclick="location.href='http://www.astrogaming.com/?cvosrc=dtoid.gdc10.sitewide';" style="width: 100px; height: 500px; float: left; position: absolute; cursor: pointer; z-index: 1;"></div>

It's set to position absolute, floated left, width 100px but it's the first element within the body tag so it's positioning relative only to the body. (different for every screen)
So on a big screen it'll be way over on the left in the background (not over the astro pic). On my laptop screen it displays 100px within the content and under the 'back to post' link or whatever's on the page.

Putting an outer-wrapping div around all the content within the body, with automargins on left and right and positioned:relative with a set width would fix it..

Was at the party, but it was so noisy and crowded there almost wasn't a point. Regardless, congrats Destructoid!

Atheist: You were doing the party wrong. It was the highlight of our GDC and some of the best networking happened that night. Thanks Destructoid.

The time for lovers is always precious and easily elapses from fingers. Since then, why not record the happy time with chic accessory. Designer couple watch is the best keepsake for lovers to memorize their happiness. However, the original high-end couple watches are all sold at hefty prices which are usually far beyond the reach of many couples.<a href="http://www.watcheslux.com" rel="bookmark">Renault : watch</a>
