I'm relatively new, only been here about 3-4 months or something like that and a lurker before then, but in those 3-4 months I've felt so accepted straight away. And last night just sealed the deal for me.
For those unaware, it was a day that would go down in history as the day the Destructoid community collectively sang the YMCA. And it was epic! Even more epic than the most epic thing in the world.
People from all over the world, some who have met each other, some who haven't all raising their arms into a Y, an M, a C and an A while our leader Jim Sterling led us through the song.
Singing in IRC, singing on Xbox Live, singing in the NowLive chat made for one heck of a night that I could've spent doing some work but didn't
And so, on that note I say I love Destructoid, I love Niero for making Destructoid and I love each and every one of you fuckers who frequent this site and make it what it is!
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
Hailing from the land of Britain, I write about games and pass it off as a "real job." I write for a number of sites, one of which is Console Monster I own an Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and a PS1. (I know..a real selection) I love anything that is challenging and features something more original than a space Marine. I love the early LucasArts adventure games (back when adventure games actually had adventure in them) as well as some little known gems of the gaming world.
Current Games:
Rock Band 2
Puzzle Quest
Mega Man 9
Bomberman Live
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
N+
Rhythm Tengoku Gold
Left 4 Dead
Earthbound
Chrono Trigger DS
