Dtoid with red and green blobs instead of robots and jokes?

No thank you.
RivaOni's Destructoid Blog
isn't this pretty much Destruictoid, Eurogamers, my1up, your Gamespot profile and IGN pages basically are?
Joe Burling's Destructoid Blog
Hey hey hey Mr. GatheringofGamers,
Get your red blobs off of my lady now...

I don't know, it just doesn't have the same ring to it...

Coming to a gaming community to recruit gamers for your community must have sounded better on paper.
GatheringofGamers's Destructoid Blog
Hey, thanks for all the comments everyone! I already enjoy the activity here on DToid :)

The GoG is a bit different than some of the other communities, in that it's a simplified place for gamers to connect and develop cool game related connections. We also have a Gaming resource dimension that we hope game tournaments, developers, and so on will use to create a self sufficient community of gamers.

We know you have alot of choices on the Internet, but we hope you'll check out The GoG and see what you think...


Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Game tournaments turns me on.

You hope to have these or ..? I mean, can I qualify for these at your site right now?
GatheringofGamers's Destructoid Blog
There's many tools for you to connect with friends and local events. Because we're still very fresh on the market, we're looking harder for actual event organizers to use The GoG to promote and spread the word about their events.

Whether it's a console event, LAN, clan development, or just general party ideas, you'll have to jump on and check everything out...

"We know how much you love video games, so we’ve developed this unique community just for video gamers."

What do you seriously think we're doing here at dtoid?
wardrox's Destructoid Blog
tarp... hehe


Looking at the site (which i did), it looks like a game oriented place of mice (see what I id thar?) which, I think is a good thing. though not for me. Cheers for letting me know though :-)
itemforty's Destructoid Blog
I have this awesome site that sounds like this. Let me find the link.
GatheringofGamers's Destructoid Blog
On a side note...here's my Halloween costume...I wish I had a Dtoid helmet to go along with it :)


MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
All right GOG, you've been such a good sport that I'll check it out.

I think if your intro had been more format appropriate (blog-style vs. press release), it would have gone more smoothly.

Example: Hi. I'm BEN. Like a lot of my fellow Dtoid readers, I've always wanted to work in the video games industry. So I started a new site to help gamers network that I hope you'll check out etc. blarrghh moneyhats!!1!
GatheringofGamers's Destructoid Blog
You're probably right MaxVest. I didn't mean for people to leave Dtoid and join our game or to sound too official announcement-like, just wanted to share the newly released monster we've got :)

Thanks for checking us out and I'll look for your profile soon...
balth's Destructoid Blog


P.S. Don't make an account for your community. Be a person and not a PR machine, Sony.

P.S.P.S. I've had nightmares with those plastic covered people that you have in your logo. I ate them. And then they came back to haunt me.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
I am super fucking over social networks. Gamers already have one, it's called Xbox Live.

But good luck in your venture, I'm sure a lot of people from myspace will be saying hello soon.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Hmm, I'll give it a look later.
MechaMonkey's Destructoid Blog
I don't think I have time in my life to be an active participant in another community right now, but I may take a look and lurk if it's good.

Best of luck to you.
GatheringofGamers's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I know there's alot of fun stuff to do out there, but we really think we've got a cool toy for gamers here. Hopefully some of you will get a chance to check out and sign up on The GoG. Look for me as my username is BEN. I've also added each of you as a friend here too.

We'll continue to post blogs and try not to be so Sony-Like, cause we sure as hell don't want to do that! haha
Atlas's Destructoid Blog
Cool I bet if I join up I can be the 2nd member and be vice-president!

Can I be vice-Prez?
Atlas's Destructoid Blog
Wait, wait. 318th member. My bad.

I'll join.
Atlas's Destructoid Blog
Also I changed your terms of use and privacy policy, seeing that I can edit it to an acceptable agreement.


GatheringofGamers's Destructoid Blog
haha, nice hack Ben!

We'll be fixing that, but glad to see you eat poop :)
PrincessPeach's Destructoid Blog
Me too. I thought I was the only one who ate poop!

Just checked out your site. It's pretty cool. Thanks for passing along the info.
