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
Uh wait... why is everyone else calling him an idiot?
So... you still want it? It still looks good as new.
He's the man to talk to.
Hell Yeah!
I knew something good would come of posting, I just figured it would be worth the lulz
Thanks a bunch!
orcist at destructoid dot com.
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
