I did a whois on the domain and it belongs to Stuart Piazza, and editor of another gaming blog 1PStart. I'm not surprised.

What a little drama queen. I'm glad there's a photo of him on his page. Hopefully he's at PAX so I can headbutt him with the helmet repeatedly and crush both his whining and skull into a silent little pile of meat. He has NO IDEA. We handle little boys real quick in Miami

All of Niero's comments have been buried, you have to open them up to see them.

I digg Dtoid articles because I like Dtoid articles. I don't like Digg so I don't Digg other stuff. I like helping Dtoid get more traffic on good stories. I honestly thought that was how Digg works. If you like a site and it's stories you Digg them. Just because I don't Digg much of anything else doesn't make me a "cheater" for Dtoid. It makes me a fan of Dtoid.

What is with these guys? Jealousy methinks.

Who cares? Digg would prefer to be a site that has nothing but a picture section, they don't really get the whole Destructoid is an independent site-thing so they prefer shitbag sites like AOLJoyStiq and Kotaku.

It sucks because it's a win-win for both sites but Digg's community has become so bitter towards their own site and others that now they only enjoy the company of LOLcats and the same damn Linux stories.

Stuart (a.k.a ‘Zea’,) is gamer, a nerd, and perhaps someone who has way too much time on his hands. He is a freelance writer, who enjoys sharing useful news and opinions from the interactive entertainment industry, and also occasionally likes to make little boys cry on Xbox Live.

Lol how pretentious can you get :D
You all suck, I like indie films. Also I rule so much that my GS is not over 9000. I call myself a gamer and a nerd so I can be conformist in a rebellious way! Look at me!



He'll ofcourse read this and whine about it on his 1 of the 3 major gaming blogs.

Sent him an email. My humor happens to be balanced by my ability to thoroughly own who I choose.

"So, you submitted the Destructoid story to Digg because they're "gaming" Digg, correct? I'm sure Engadget, Gizmodo, Joystiq, Kotaku, TechEBlog, Ars Technica, Slashdot, and IGN are your next targets, seeing how they all have user bases that regularly Digg their articles because they enjoy the site. Seeing how Digg encourages this with their Submit a Story API, they must be stopped.

Oh wait, hold on a sec, you have a failure of a blog yourself, don't you slugger? Well, that changes everything.

You're just mad that Destructoid is a success, and you're a failure. Running a Digg smear campaign to put a dent in their reputation is a pretty low blow, kid. Accusing it's regular readers (BlindsideDork and TazarTheYoot, to name two), who aren't even on Destructoid's payroll, of spamming their articles on Digg is an incredibly infantile maneuver.

Accusing them of "gaming" Digg shows your lack of experience in the industry. Digg is not a "game". On one side, it's a tool to submit something you made or found to people who will check it out and comment on it. The other side is using these said people to generate hits to your content and hopefully come back to see more. You're on the second side, using Destructoid's name to generate hits to your own blog. Pathetic.


I'm expecting a response. I doubt it will be coherent, let alone intelligent, save a few reasons why I'm "part of the problem" and why "I suck balls". Good luck with the Spell Checker."

Being an arrogant ass, FTW.

*sigh* God... dammit. I was afraid one of my cohorts would do something like this. Just keep this in mind, people -- PacoDG and I, MaximusPaynicus (aka JW) are your FRIENDS! Stu's views are those of Stu and only Stu.

@ Agent Chieftain
Now to be the devil's advocate here. I know you were trying to get under his skin, but a little fact-check -- 1PStart actually drives a good amount of traffic. They even swamp us at X360R. Of course, they have a larger spectrum of news they can cover.

But to reiterate: PacoDG and I, the two Xbox360Rally guys... we love Destructoid, so... should there be some kind of site-organized backlash... please leave us out of it. :P

I left due to differences with management. Basically he wanted to work me like a dirty mule and I wasn't getting the respect and appreciation that I deserved for busting my ass for that site. I literally would stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning writing articles and researching. I'm not one to bitch, but when you're working for 7 months on a site and your told everyday "work harder, work harder" with very little appreciation, you start to get sick of it.

As for where I'm at now, I was writing for a couple of months on FileFront's news site, Gaming Today, and I just recently got promoted to PR manager for the entire FileFront site.

So basically, think of me as a Ron Workman... a younger... more hip Ron Workman... with glasses

I think the answer to this is for everyone on C blogs to get everyone else on C blogs to digg every Destructoid article, front page or C blog.

Gratz with the promotion. I see Gaming Today works under older versions of firefox, which already makes it a lot better/trustworthy than 1PStart in my eyes. Just don't start telling your employees to "work harder bitches!" ;)

@Professor Pew: Yea, and another thing I like about Gaming Today is majority of the focus is on the articles itself and less on the ads. If you look at 1P Start, you get bombarded with ads. I think I may have developed a tumor from working for 7 months with "Win a FREE iPod!" ads flashing everywhere

The ads are indeed an issue, and I have to admit, after BB left... 1PS took a hit. But you simply can't replace hard work and dedication overnight.

Oh, BB -- check your "secret identity" MySpace and hit me back.

i've always had a love hate relationship with digg.

i love the site and the concept of a democratic user submitted/controlled new site.

i hate all the jerkoffs on the site that bitch and moan when things dont fall into their idea of how digg "should" work. meaning only showing what they want to see and nothing else

fact is dtoid is on digg alot because its a great site shit tons of people really like and wanna support it.

@Kif: Haha. That was actually when I wrote back at 1P Start. That was one of my co-writers Kezins who saw it on Dtoid, put it up, and made sure to give proper credit by putting the Via at the end of the link. Nothing wrong with that. Back in those days, 1P Start and Dtoid actually had a good relationship mostly due to our respect for them. If you look back at some Dtoid articles around that time, they link to 1P Start as well ;)

I thought the point of Digg was to boost popular stories to the front page. Clearly if Destructoid articles are being dugg, then that just means people want to read them.

I fucking hate the internet sometimes. I don't use Digg, but I'm so tempted to sign up and call this guy a twatcunt.

@xBBx: Yeah, I know it was an old story. I just thought it was kinda funny, that's all. I've never visited the site besides from this whole thing, so I can't speak for the kind of content that is usually posted there. But this crusade against Dtoid just seems pointless. He's not going to win. I don't think Digg even cares. Nice to hear some views from someone who has been sort of between the 2 sites though, xBBx.
