Hello everybody.
I've been silently creeping in the shadows of Dtoid for too long. And, no, I'm not new here... to those who are newer than me here, I was here when you were there. I was commanding this shit when you were commandeering attacks on N4G and wanking yourselves silly over at Kotaku. I've seen things some of you will only ever hear about.... what am I on about?
Anyway, hello, I love you all and I thought I'd just drop in and try to promote my new blog. It's quite tough getting off the ground when you are a new blog wesbite but I think if there is any community I can rely on with getting some hits, it's the lovely Destructoid. This is the site where I began my venture into video games blogging and it continues to inspire me to this very day.
I used to blog all the time and share with the community the silly things in my head. I'm now a chip off the old block, as it were.
For the record, I won't be copy/pasting my shit here for you all to be annoyed by but I will probably be dropping a fair few hints. I've paid my do's on Dtoid, so I'm not afraid to shamelessly plug my slowly decaying life for you all to see.

Have a click on that
Nah, you can't click this image. Who am I, Bill Gates? Not happening here. Click the link above like I said.
Basically, this is a blog I have started with my good pal Jack and we like to take a slightly sideways look at the world of gaming. You can't expect much sense to come from it but you may have fun while you're at it.
Big love to the community.

Welcome back!
(though after the debacle of moving to and back from #newdestructoid, I have to admit I've been considering the concept of a wordpress blog primarily to act as a server or backup to ensure my previous Dtoid blogs are all saved in one place... and can be categorized the way I want to categorize them.... but then again, I'm a bit anal that way)
Hi Elsa, that's a good question. I think it's basically mainly because I wanted to have a blog that is designed just the way I want it (well, me and Jack) while also enabling more stuff like guest blogs - which will be introduced soon... - and podcasts and/or videos. It's basically a power trip while also a major challenge to see how far we can get the thing off the ground. Destructoid was always good to me and got me writing gigs elsewhere but in the end you want more control, even though my writing here will probably get more hits.
Meanwhile, you never know what sort of press passes you can get with your own website ;)
Please drop by... :D
