New Destructoid is NEW and AWESOME!
JLanphear | 10:45 PM on 02.24.2008 25 comments


I must say guys, the new DTOID looks fan-fucking-tastic! I'll probably avoid Fall of Liberty but
goddamn this place looks HAWT!

This is probably the nicest I have EVER seen this place, even better than Bioshock. And
Bioshock was fucking sweet. Well done to the crew of Destructoid. :)

OMG, on WWE...
JLanphear | 8:54 PM on 02.18.2008 27 comments


So, I was watching WWE RAW like literally 20 seconds ago, and there was a big ass
Destructoid robot sign in the crowd. You should be able to see it as its around in the area
where the camera tends to congregate mostly, showing the majority of the ring.

It's badass. And an awesome representation of how amazing Destructoid is. A sign about a
gaming website at a "Sports" event. Check it out. :O

Costume Crashers!: The most Awesome costume EVAR.
JLanphear | 1:54 AM on 08.21.2007 6 comments




It takes someone of massive lose to not respect the creator of this epic costume. It's masterly crafted exterior is a thing of beauty of a glorious testament to the awesome game that Castle Crashers will be. It's awesome that a simple looking game like this is garnering so much attention. Especially in a world where Halo, Gears of War, and Bioshock rule.* It goes to show how dedicated us gamers truly are. We respect a game for what its made of. Not how much hype it has behind it.

You can check out a full gallery of the costume HERE.

*NOTE - Bioshock FTW. lol.

Limited Edition!: JLanphear Community Blog
JLanphear | 7:35 AM on 08.19.2007 0 comments




As I'm sure the entirety of the internet knows at this point, Destructoid is holding a HUGE contest, with the prize being the brand spankin' new PSTriple 80GB Motorstorm Bundle. And of course, as I am NOT the proud owner of a Playstation 3, I shall try my damnedest to get one of these sleek black powerhouses. I'm going to start this round of the contest* by proclaiming to the community of Destructoid that I revamped my seckzeh community blog to get ahead of the game here! Of course, thousands of other members will be flocking to try to win, forcing the end result to be thousands of seizure inducing pieces of crap that only count as entries because the slightest resemblance of our bloodthirsty hero is there.

As you can see, I, on the other hand, have stepped up the game in the hopes of gaining the upper hand, by recreating the scene found in the artwork using my banner, and About Me sections of my community blog. Of course, I won't get any extra ballots for this wonderful work of awesomeness, but at least I'll look cooler than the noobs who are only here in the hopes of winning the Grand Prize.

Anyways, let me know what you guys think of my new Limited Edition look! :D

*NOTE: This contest is NOT round-based. It was only a figure of speech and I do not know anything you don't know. Or do I?

Srsly guys...the whole Bioshock look is fucking amazing. Nice job with it. It makes Dtoid look so fuckin ominous. I LOVE IT.

The way you guys even put detail into the menu is awesome, really brings out the look.

Also, I need to update my blog more. Like make it look sweet or some shit...my blog sucks...lol...

VROOOOM! Destructoid pwns Forza 2 and its roads
JLanphear | 4:41 PM on 06.05.2007 10 comments


Well, in the Forza 2 custom paintjob post, I stated that I would be making a Destructoid Forza 2 paintjob. And, because I'm a man of my word, I have. This is pushing about 600 total layers, and is about 6-7 hours worth of work.

I would like to be sure that you guys know, the positioning for everything is not going to be perfect. I was at a friends house when I made this last night and the TV I was using wasn't the greatest thing. It was a 24" blurry crap-o-vision but I did my best.

Hope you guys like it!

 about me

EEEYYYYYYY. . .

I'm JLanphear.

My Mother named me Joshua, and many others call me Phear, as that is my usual internet alias, as well as my handle on most things as well. I'm from Michigan, but currently reside in sunny Los Angeles, CA. I'm going to school at the Art Institute of California for Graphic Design, and after graduating from there, will probably return to school again for a degree in writing as well.

I've been a gamer for most of my life and am proud to say I have owned at one point, damn near every console that's been on these shores. I like to think of myself as a collector, though I seem to be forced to part with my games quite often (though that's not happening anymore and I'm taking my collection much more seriously now).

Name: Joshua
Current Dwelling: LA, CA
Twitter: CLICK HERE.
Favorite Movie: Star Trek (it changes a lot), Casshern
