Where would Destructoid be without me for a few hours?
Hamza CTZ Aziz 05.09.08 - 5:49 PM 48 comments




Seriously, I was gone for just four hours. FOUR HOURS! Anyway, jokes over now. Plus, most of you have been breaking some of the guideline rules. So seriously, stop.

And sorry to all of you. I've been just taking a back seat to everything this past week. The trip to L.A. and San Diego last weekend really took away all of my energy for some reason.

I'll be getting back into the swing of things by next week. I'm going to be in San Francisco a lot next week as all the companies seem to like to group all sorts of events during the same period. Ubisoft, EA and Microsoft are all throwing events among others. If the rumors are true, I'll probably be playing the new wiimote360 controller with Banjo 3 next Tuesday.

Aside from that, tomorrow is a very special day. On top of it being my Mom's birthday, it's also another certain special lady in my life birthday. You might know of her. She's kind of a big deal around these parts. In fact, I like to think of her as the queen of Dtoid.

OH DANG

Queen of Dtoid? Is it Colette's birthday tomorrow?

As long as your not Dry Heaving in the corner of a populated building... Everything should be on the up & up, NO?

: )

P.s.
Happy Bday CTZ's Mom!
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Come on, Hamza. We all know that the c-blogs turn to shit when you’re gone. It’s a well-established fact. Somehow, Dtoiders have an intrinsic “Shark Sense” that lets them know when you aren’t around, so they can post all kinds of crazy shit.

Also, happy early birthday to Mrs. Aziz!
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
I for one really enjoyed all the joke blogs. There's nothing that I don't love more than a good joke, repeated over and over a whole bunch of times until everyone is angry.

Did I say "good"? My bad.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Dexter: Yup. Colette's bday tomorrow too.
NightDehumidifier's Destructoid Blog
Probably a lot better, and if you are not around at all, it'd be the best.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Also, Hamza, do this (and see if you like it):

1) Right-click on your desktop, then hit ‘Properties’.
2) Go to the ‘Appearance’ tab, then hit the ‘Effects’ button.
3) Change the font smoothing method from ‘Standard’ to ‘ClearType’, then hit apply or whatnot.

Personally, I think it looks loads better than the old font smoothing.

We still love you, Hamza.

Happy B-day Colette. Tomorrow also happens to be mine and Ill be gone so I'm giving my well wishes now.
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Happy pending birthday, Colette! If you are the queen if Destructoid, Niero's the king... but what is everybody else?
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
@MaxVest: Vassals?
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Samit:

What about the nobility? Such as a Duke of East Tako, Duchess of Pixels, Earl of Monocle, and Chad can of course be the Dauphin.

pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
Happy early B-Day to Colette and Mrs. Hamza!

And as much as thinking about Microsoft completely ripping the Wii off with their new remote thing makes me sick, I'm still eager to read about your hands-on time with it.

Wow. I just got dissed by probably the most hated person on this site. I'm so hurt.

Haha CTZ FTW.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Destructoid without Hamza is like leaving a prison without guards.

Also, happy birthday, Colette. I'll be sure to post something on it right at midnight.

Which gives me an hour and a half FUCK I CAN'T DO THIS >.<

@Samit: Peons?

without ctz there would be no shark attacks.
CypherVR's Destructoid Blog
where would destructoid be without Hamza?

this..

Puppetpallmich's Destructoid Blog
hey those weren't even originally my words i just dont know why everyone is all nazi about trying to be funny now and posting or doing certain shit that was acceptable before. the oh god dont make fun of anyone attitude as well is fail and that shit isnt how the site was before. i dont know if ur "moving on to bigger and better things" or what but its epic fail. ctz thinks hes all hot shit now and i like the guy and he loves banana daiquiris and being a mailbox head but he acts like hes the all super cool guy in the school. i dunno wuts up with u topher but u've always been super cool #1 guy.
not saying ur deleting anything in particular but i have seen some shit removed that generally shouldn't. i thought the guideline for that stuff was that if its not straight out porn or gore or real spam then it stays.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
Facebook tells me that tomorrow is Colette's birthday. Facebook is infallible. There will be an extra fap in her honor, tomorrow.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Seriously, what Topher said. GTFO. No one cares. Stick to your Ventrillo where you've been calling me a fag all day.

There's new guideline terms. Go read them.
Knives's Destructoid Blog
It's ok CTZ, this would've probably had happen even with you here =P
CountingConflict's Destructoid Blog
@ Hamza

OH SNAP! Shark attack!!
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Knives: Yeah, that's true actually, lol.
Surf314's Destructoid Blog
Personally I think there should be more shark attacks...
Thornnn's Destructoid Blog
Happy birthday shark mom.
