Here's to one year, and many more

Sh!t, it has been a while since I did one of these, my last one was *checks last entry* Sweet Fudgemonkeys, in August. Oh well, better late than never I suppose. I haven't written a c-blog in such a long while because I haven't had anything smart, witty and/or funny say, and I'm still kind of anti-social. But As I've seen the site grow over the last year, I really didn't get involved until 2 months ago. Since I feel like I'm in a reminiscing mood, I could give you a recap assuming you haven't clicked on something else, so, WIGGLY SCREEN EFFECT ACTIVATE !

I found Destructoid through GameTrailers when they started to post Hey Ash Watcha Playin' on the front page. After seeing the episode on Left 4 Dead, I was sold on it and kept watching. I noticed the website's address at the bottom of the screen so I typed it in and the rest is history right ? Nope there's more to my origin story than that, and here it is. I originally used to frequent 1up.com because I freakin' loved the place and it will forever hold a special place in my gaming heart for one reason : Greenspeak made me care about video games again. I say this because I was at a point in my life that I was starting to grow away from the medium and was a little embarrassed to admit that I liked games. I was about to pack it in forever, but my brother showed me the Greenspeak article in either GFW or EGM ( can't remember which one), I don't remember the gist of it, but it was both hilarious and insightful.

It single handedly reignited my love of gaming and got to start frequenting their website until...The Day of Reckoning. It was around this time last year, and when I found out about UGO buying 1up, I kinda got scared, and rightly so. I learned of the layoffs and it meant no more 1up FM or 1up Show, which I was using to cope for the loss of GFW Radio ( which was awesome, and if you find a torrent I highly recommend you download it ). I'm still kinda hurtin' but *slaps self in the face with a trout* , okay starting to get a little emo, needless to say, I found Destructoid's Podcasts and while not as good as GFW Radio, were awesome in their own way. More on that later.



Good Night Sweet Prince


Now for a list of reasons as to why I stay here:

Friday Night Fights: This stretches back to the start of my stint here, hell this is how I got the bulk of my friends list on PSN. Now that I've graduated participant to host, shit is just even more fun. Funny little story from last night: I was playin' Modern Warfare 2 with the gents and Elsa, I was in a random fervor because Black Nexus wouldn't stop doing "Marco Polo" whenever he sniped me. When I finally killed him I said "You just got Falcon raped". Thankfully Y0j1mb0 wasn't there to hear it or he never would've let me live it down. They made fun of me for the rest of the night. Its stuff like that is why I love you guys.

Podcasts: As you've probably already figured out, I loved the old 1up podcasts and have been looking of a good replacement. Podtiod is good ( Especially 129 ), but Failcast is just awesome because they focus on the community...and bash Necros which is hilarious, same with 321GoCast, and please come back Retoforce GO! Sorry for not being in-depth, lost my train of thought

IRC: Is the shit, and you should all try to get in because some of the shit that goes down in there is awesome and Hilarious.

Well, as you can tell, I'm running out of shit to say, so I now leave you with some Queen




PS: Thank You for allowing me to waste your time !
