Well, I hope you all had a better day than I did, as I suffered through an inexplicable problem with Firefox not wanting to load any Google applications. It's fixed now, thanks for your concern. The whole thing has really put into perspective my dependence on Google as a company/service.

Anyway, I want to thank everyone who entered my contest for a Dreamcast. I'll be going through the entries over the next couple of days and deciding on a winner by the end of the week.

Failcast? Relegated to the dreaded "..."? Well, damn.

Conrad Zimmerman

@Necros: I simply couldn't resist the opportunity.

The podcast is awesome, by the by, and is a "Pick".

Wow...I never would've thought of that video of the breadmaker the way you did, but...wow.

FAILCAST

YOU'RE NOT INVITED TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY ANYMORE

Gradumacated? I wasn't aware that word existed. O_o

blehman

The point of my blog was not that I'm horribly addicted to Animal Crossing, it was that I hate Rev Ant for talking (writing) me into playing it. Great job, btw.

Comments policy

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.
