To be painted by Ceark is an honor I hope to one day earn.

Great recap, Conrad. My new job is keeping me away from Destructoid. I've never appreciated these as much as I do now.
power-glove's Destructoid Blog
I did not just get one gaming site. I got on more sites.
ceark's Destructoid Blog
lol, you'll be perma-rect for awhile. As you can see, us artists are fucking slow. -_- I'm still deciding whether to give you a chainsaw or a toaster too. or maybe something classier.
Aerox's Destructoid Blog
I wish I had entered Ceark's contest back when he had it :(
Conrad Zimmerman's Destructoid Blog
@power-glove: Yeah, I know. I failed the second one for being unnecessary.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
How this isn't one of your picks of the day, I just don't know. I'd like to see Ceark do that.

P.S. His Rio art is freaking sweet.
mid3vol's Destructoid Blog
i love these, thank you! btw, ceark is AMAAAAAAAAZING!!! and i can't wait to see his upcoming works.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
Heh, Conrad's dishing out the tough love to power-glove.
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog
Ceark is incredible! Nice job with the recap :)
power-glove's Destructoid Blog
Oh Conrad, do you not realize that the first blog is now hidden? Why would you fail a possible d-toid first? Anyways, Niero's love and affection supersedes a fail vote from you any day.
Sadie G's Destructoid Blog
Power-Glove,

Here's a DTOID first, I'm agreeing with Conrad.
Do you realize that no one gives a shit?
I'm just saying...I mean my Guilty Pleasures article got picked up by a few other websites but I didn't go around blasting that fact, now did I?
Humbleness...work on it a bit.
VWGTI's Destructoid Blog
I'm gonna have to agree with Sadie G here.

power-glove, you're coming off as a complete douche bag. The majority of people could care less that your blog got picked up by other websites. It's not like Activision released that information directly to you.

Seriously, come off it. Why don't you try accomplishing something in real life instead of focusing so much on your e-penis. Conrad had every right to fail your blog and was right for doing so.
Sadie G's Destructoid Blog
what i mean is yea, congratulations, but you're not being humble about it and that is what annoys me. I mean you had TWO blogs on it and now you're blasting Conrad over something not mentioning all the sites related to it.
power-glove's Destructoid Blog
This is one of the coolest things to happen to me since my arrival here.

I know that my contributions to the community are no more important than anyone else's. But, let me indulge myself for once. This does not happen to a guy like me everyday. I am done talking about it.
power-glove's Destructoid Blog
I just sent my apologies to Conrad. No need to discuss this further.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Woah, you labias and genitals calm down a bit.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
Come on guys. Group hug.

...

Group sex?
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
I'm not really paying attention and I don't care, so I might not know what I'm talking about. But I don't think there's anything wrong with power-glove being excited about his story getting picked up and sharing the info with us. Good for him.
Conrad Zimmerman's Destructoid Blog
I was afraid this might happen.

My only issue with all of this was that there were two posts on the subject. It has nothing to do with power-glove boasting which, frankly, I kinda feel he's earned. People deserve some kudos when they are recognized by a larger internet than our corner. All I ask is that you respect the CBlogs and the other posters within them.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
People still get butt-hurt on the internet? I am shocked and applaud!
power-glove's Destructoid Blog
I talked CZ about it. It's cool.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
@MrSadistic
I appalled you.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Oh yeah, I knew I forgot to fix something I typed.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

 about me

I write for Destructoid, primarily reviews and recurring columns. I'm probably best known for RetRose Tinted, a series which I began in the Community Blogs and ran for six months before joining the site staff and taking it to the front page. I also contribute to An RPG Draws Near and the recently minted Sexy Time! column as well as serve up a weekly collection of the best deals on games (and completely gratuitous photos of women) in Discountoid.

I'm fond of all types of gaming, either on a screen or a tabletop. In terms of video games, my interests vary wildly from platformers (2D preferred) to RPGs and the occasional FPS. The greatest game of all time is Mega Man 2 and any suggestion otherwise will be met with swift vengeance.

About Rodney Dangerfield:



The mere inclusion of Rodney Dangerfield can vastly improve anything. Films, music, toasters, anything. In particular, the force of Rodney Dangerfield could elevate video games to the level in which they are accepted by the mainstream as a true art form, bringing together people of all races, creeds and tax brackets in peace and harmony.

RIP Rodney.
