Dtoid in the news!
Jarmer \| 8:11 AM on 01.11.2008	13 comments

Destructoid is referenced as the first of "big video game news sites" in today's paper (Joystiq & Kotaku come after Dtoid I might add ;p). Then later I think the article mentions Dtoid while discussing the GOTY awards.

I know it's just a reference, but still, it's something! In case you're wondering, the article is in the Lexington Herald Leader's new gaming section in the weekender that comes out every Friday. Herald Leader has a circulation of about 112,000 so plenty of people should be reading the article today.

It's a damn good article too, takes up an entire 2 page spread. Goes over all the GOTY awards, recent releases, upcoming, rumors, etc... I really hope it succeeds and he can keep the stories going every Friday.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Hell yes! They even noted Dtoid first, and put it in front of Joystiq and Kotaku.

Good find.

I know the writer very well, and I'm sure he's heard the name Dtoid a hundred times from me whenever I'm talking about new gaming news. Not sure if that influenced it or not, but it couldn't have hurt!

If Wikipedia was looking for notoriety from a real world news source then I think we just found it.

Jarmer, you get a gold star for providing RL credibility for a Dtoid article. That and a trophy filled with Brunswick Stew.
