Your complete guide to Destructoid

Fuck You 1UP (In Before Workman)
Coonskin05 \| 3:20 PM on 09.19.2007	25 comments

We all know that 1UP doesn't particularly love us. It's understandable when you have competition. But when we get to have our day, let us have our fucking day you twats. Most other game news sites that have reported Mr. Destructoid in Bomberman LIVE have at least been up front about it, whether they like it or not. but the bitchasses at 1UP won't even respectfully give us a nod. The title in the link I just posted is "Bomberman Live Download Pack 2 Next Week". And there's a much smaller subtitle below it that reads "Hudson teams with popular gaming blog".

FUCK YOU PHILIP KOLLAR

Nowhere else in the body of the text was another mention of DToid or a "popular gaming blog". I had to (unfortunately) read the article 3 times before I even saw the subtitle, that's how downplayed it is. Looks like you are the "popular (and I use that term loosely) gaming blog" now, because we sure as fuck aren't, we're the World Famous "I'm in vidya games" Destructoid. So blow me Philip Kollar. And blow everyone who works for, contributes to, and loves DToid, and maybe one day you can learn what it is to write for a "popular gaming blog".

1up = Fail

EGM = Win (though not as much win as Dtoid but those are two totally diffrent things).

Also: Dtoid needs a magazine.

That's just MO on it.

RICHARD BLOCKER

I see this getting worse before it gets better, possibly devolving into a Jets vs. Sharks situation.

Maurice Tan

But but, 1up has such hot women in the 1up show!

I stand by my previous statements: there are cool people on the 1UP/EGM team, like Jeremy Parish, Shane Bettenhausen, Scott Sharkey, Crispin, Ray, and some other guys in that crowd. Outside of that, it's just a bunch of regular journalists who cycle in and out of the magazine every few months and rarely make an impact. I doubt this guy has much of an influence there, as I've never heard his name before. Probably an indication of why he sucks so much.

Jordan Devore

I agree with Necros.

Snaileb

Holy sh-

Def JM

I see DickMcVengeance, and atheistium already made some posts

I'm on the fence, but I'm a bit of a dtoid fanboy now so I can't speak about any other sites without a hint of venom.

@Neonie: Why would DToid need a magazine? None of the "news" in Game Informer is anything new after I've already read it online. The only reason I get it is because Gamestop ships it to me for owning their card.

Neonie

@Shawn

Novelty. It would be awsome to hold Dtoid's news in my hands. I could care less if i've already read it, I would read it again on real paper. I just like that feeling.

Red TheHaze Veron

Why do you have to fight??? Think of the children!!!!

Morrius

I don't think dtoid regulars jumping in like hypersensitive only-children is going to help much. Does anyone give a fuck about 1up, one way or the other? I visit the site sometimes, remember how horrible the layout is, and leave again. That's about the extent of it.

Riser Glen

Who's "1UP?"

Eschatos

Bleh, 1UP and IGN, the gaming sites no one likes.

Phist

One of my favorite photos of Johnny Cash!

Guys, I summed up the love and hate over here.

Hollie Bennett

what the hell is a '1up'?!

never heard of them...

xBBx

I really don't understand why Phillip decided to not acknowledge the Destructoid mascot being included in the Bomberman expansion pack. I mean, it was all over the press release Hudson released today.

Odd...very odd...

Anyways, you really should find out the full story before passing judgment on someone. Phillip is actually a pretty standup guy and I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for the way the article came out.

Dynamic Sheep

Used to be that IGN was my go to site for video game info, and 1up & Gamespot was my fall back on slow newsdays. After discovering that DESTRUCTOID is the premier video game news and community website, IGN became my fall back when nothing's happening (read: once in a blue moon) here. Maybe that's why they failed to mention you guys... even saying destructoid causes people to leave by the thousands.

DaedHead8

I agree with Neonie, a dtoid magazine would rock pretty hard, even if it were full of OFN.

As far as the 1up editors, I've always liked Crispin, Shoe and Mark Macdonald. There are some other interesting writers, but those three vets have always stood out in my mind

Not that it matters because nowadays I subscribe to game informer instead of EG (gamestop discount cards ftw) and I read destructoid over 1up.

kaneka

wow...just goes to show you how desperate they are to stop people from coming over to the light.

Tron Knotts

I'm sure it's nothing personal. Dude just didn't want his company to lose audinece to Destructoid so he is less likely to be fired.

It's just buisneees.

None of them are still with the company. :\
