Why I happen to be a @*(%ing Idiot
Jehutus | 8:35 PM on 02.24.2008 22 comments


I figured this was worthy of my first post.


I've followed Destructoid for quite some time now, it's my favorite video gaming news site by far.

I mainly only read, commenting maybe once, or twice. One time, I decided to give a whack at a contest, offering a free copy of the game Galactic Civilizations 2: Dark Avatar, because I owned a copy of the game prior in the series, Dread Lords.

I made a forum account and posted my answers. I was pretty sure I was wrong. Throughout my life I've never entered in any contests and never bothered; I have pathologically poor luck.

So as a result, I never followed up on said contest and went off on my merry way checking Dtoid on my RSS feed and playing video games whilst attending college. Today, while on a narcissistic binge, I googled my screen name (jehutus) and discovered, aside from myself bitching on some retarded ass roleplayer video game forums, a blog post at the bottom of the list:

Some retarded Blog

Which lead to:

Destructoid Link

I won, and apparently did so admirably, as shown by the "By far" next to my name. It's a shame, because I still play and love dread lords, and drool longingly at Dark Avatar, as my college-student-working-two-jobs budget cannot afford to purchase anything more than used+months-old+greatist-hits games

So, it's official people. I'm a retard. Congrats to me.

E-mail me at finderdj@gmail.com to taunt and laugh at me. I truly feel like I deserve it.

Oh, that's my dog Oakley, by the way. Even he couldn't help but laugh at me

poor kid.
Rogue Trooper's Destructoid Blog
Wow. That is the definition of ironic.
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
Sucks to be you. Do you still get your copy?
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Wow, you're pretty much a fucking moron.

Uh wait... why is everyone else calling him an idiot?
Jehutus's Destructoid Blog
No clue. I don't think so, I don't know who to contact.
007's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, you never got your copy, so I decided to take it. I took the disk, skeeted all over it, let my dog shit on it, and threw it back in the case.

So... you still want it? It still looks good as new.
Jehutus's Destructoid Blog
Worse has entered my laptop.

E-mail Niero@destructoid.com

He's the man to talk to.
Niero's Destructoid Blog
haha, that was almost a year ago so we ended up giving it to a homeless person on the street. I do have a ton of stuff in our swag closet and will send you something else as a consolation prize. Email me!
Jehutus's Destructoid Blog
Freakin' Sweet!

Hell Yeah!

I knew something good would come of posting, I just figured it would be worth the lulz

Thanks a bunch!

Niero, while you're at it, you might as well send me stuff too. Seriously...just...just give me stuff goddammit.

Jehutus -- if you still really want Galactic Civilzations, I've got a copy, and it's still in good condition. If you want it, e-mail me, as well.

orcist at destructoid dot com.
Jehutus's Destructoid Blog
Thanks for the offer, Joseph, thats really nice of you!

But my post was more about the irony of discovering over a year after the fact the first time I'd ever won a contest for anything.

So no thanks, keep and enjoy your copy! :P

Besides, I already got 007's moldy copy in the mail. It shot out and clung to the ceiling when I touched it with a blowtorch.

 about me

I've been helping my journalist mother with her side job for nearly a decade now - Reviewing video games. Since we got our first video game system in '93- a 16 bit Sega Genesis so that she could play Pac-Man, she has fed my addiction for games without spending over 100 dollars in over 14 years. Our first purchase since Armored Core 2(our only video game purchase ever) was our X-box 360 in the summer of 06. In all the years between have been the endless fighting between my brother and I after a MP game gone bad, a graveyard of crying, broken controllers, and unfinished homework assignments.

Jehutus likes candlelit dinners, long walks on the beach, Star Wars, and personally finds the most important quality of video games to be the story. He's rated every video game since Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck for the N64 and continues to assist his mother in her work from college at Washington and Jefferson College, PA. Expert or no expert, you still have to be patient when your mother calls asking where the R3 button is and how to get out of 'spidey sense'.
