About Me
I am the Deputy News Editor at Destructoid. I write about videogames for a living. That last sentence is as awesome as it sounds, though not always in the ways you might think.

I also play host to Destructoid's live streaming satellite studio, Couchtoid. From there, we broadcast Backlog, an attempt to work through my stack of old games one hour at a time (Weeknights, 10pm Pacific) and Saturday Morning Hangover where Dtoid writer Jordan Devore and the always lovely ImpossiblePlant play often painful games for your amusement (Saturdays, 10am Pacific).

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.

Contest Reminder: Win a Dreamcast With My Dick
Conrad Zimmerman | 6:50 PM on 07.03.2008 15 comments


My "Private Dick", that is. Give me more stories, more art, more shoops, more whatever relating to my Darious Pickman character from the CBlogs and I'll give you a Dreamcast console. This isn't hard, people, I'm a whore for content!

Full repost of the contest rules follow:





I had a lot of fun with the Darious Pickman character, and now I want some more. Give me your take on my private eye. Draw a comic, make a shoop, write me a story. The Dtoider that entertains me the most with their entry will score themselves a Dreamcast. If you don't know who Darious Pickman is or want to get a feel for him, you can learn a little bit about him by reading my F*** You DVDDesign series (Darious shows up first in Day 19)





How to Enter:
Make a comment with your entry into the comments of this post, or one of the reminder posts which will follow later in the week. If you are using a large image that won't fit comfortably in the comments, I'd urge you to use a smaller one and provide a link to a hi-res version.


Rules:

- Feel free to enter as many times as you like, though it probably won't increase your odds of winning
- Open to US residents in the contiguous 48 states only (unless you are willing to pitch in for shipping)
- Entries must be recieved before the CBlog recap goes live on July 7th (typically Midnight, Eastern time)
- The prize is a Dreamcast console with cables
- Winner will be announced Wednesday, July 9th (promise).

Sigh, if only some one better than you was giving it away... I might have been inclined to enter.

Well, at least a great idea beat out my idea.

Your choice of titles may be your downfall in the end. I did not read the actual rules, and will be writing my story based on this post's title alone.

Expect great things.

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!
