What ever happened to #1: Tristero
 by Justice on 02.26.2008      42 comments






This is the first of a "probably" regular series asking about what happened to frequenters of Destructoid who have not been seen in a while, now I actually have no idea about where Tristero is, that's why I'm asking the blogging community.

Tristero was a man who used to write funny and interesting blogs, then he won last year's PAX contest with this video and became an editor (permanantly I believe). He has a brother on the site called walnutthewise who, like his brother, used to post but no longer does.

Any information would be helpful.

Is it me or did Destructoid just die for like an hour.
A New Challenger's Destructoid Blog
I need to write another c-blog before I'm eligible for this series.

I've been wondering what happened to Tristero, too.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
I actually wondered where you ran off to ANC, I can never get enough of your Mewtroid avatar. Next in this series is probably a man called PetiePal, used to be well known on the forums, but I am ALSO TAKING SUBMISSIONS.

Others I were considering for number 1 of this series include Reeper and ElectroLemon, but they have both been returned safely to the families, with minor injuries so no questions there.

There's a "where is Tristero" post every few weeks, but no one ever gives us a definitive answer. WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MATT!
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Another mystery I have pondered since my existence on here: Why does Analog Pidgin post hardly ever? Actually Orcist, DMV and Fronz are posting alot less aswell.

The case continues...
Colette Bennett's Destructoid Blog
Tristero heard real life calling and had to answer its song. Sad, but true.....by the way, I can probably answer every question you plan for this series ;)
coonskin05's Destructoid Blog
Justice, DMV is currently in Japan for the semester, and only has access to really shitty internet.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Thanks Colette and Coonskin!

Justice's Destructoid Blog

BahamutZero's Destructoid Blog
colette we know he's in your basement. fess up.
Colette Bennett's Destructoid Blog
No! My basement could never contain Tristero's goodness. Also, I have no basement.
Ron  NSFWorkman's Destructoid Blog

aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
No, It's not just you. Dtoid was fucked up there for awhile. I wasn't able to get on damnit.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Whatever happened to NihonTiger90? That guy was so cool...
Cheeburga's Destructoid Blog

How many wolves have to die?
Justice's Destructoid Blog
I believe it's 70 wolves chum, and well personally I thought NihonTiger90 was a big fat di-OH! Hey NihonTiger90... fancy seeing you here! How's the family!

I kid, I kid
wardrox's Destructoid Blog
I just watched that vid, no idea why I hadn't seen it sooner. Also, he just caused an earthquake to hit england. Fact.
Scape's Destructoid Blog
Maybe as a side idea for you, you can try to get in contact with some people who've left us (Nex, Houghton, Summa etc.) and interview them to see how they are doing.
Pangloss's Destructoid Blog
Every time school demands that I set other pursuits aside for a while, I'll return to Dtoid a couple months later, and am disappointed every time nobody says "where were you?"

Neat feature, with any luck the missing will crop up to say "I'm right here, guys. I was WiiSucks all along!"
charliesuh's Destructoid Blog
I'll be hanging out with tristero very soon, his birthday just passed not too long ago and this past weekend he had an epic party at a minigolf place filled with drugs and booze!

I'm actually not lying about any of that, hehe :)
Pangloss's Destructoid Blog
Sorry, I guess I can't keep a secret no matter how hard I try.
ceark's Destructoid Blog
I think basement could be a metaphor.
taumpytears's Destructoid Blog
Whatever happened to robot jones?

RUMORS OF MY DEATH HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED

Hey fellow Destructoiders,

I know I've been super M.I.A. lately (and I don't mean of the Tamil Tigerista variety, either). I've contacted a few of you in private, but I realized that I haven't been in touch with a lot of you recently and for that I apologize.

Around the beginning of this year a lot personal things came up for my family and a close friend of mine. While I'm definitely doing okay, between my normal 50-hr a week job and taking care of a lot of personal business, I have not been doing the best job of getting back in touch with people.

There have been some unreturned phone calls and emails and for that I supremely apologize (Miguel, Phistoid, athiestium, Unstoppable Juggernaut, CTZ and Mr. Workmeng, I'm thinking of you). I am sorry for not always getting back to you, but I do hope you'll take my word for it when I tell you it's nothing personal.

I admire everyone at Destructoid and am constantly impressed with the awesome work you put out. The editors and the community members work tirelessly to build this videogame empire. You're doing a great job with the site and you have my unending moral support for what it is you're doing. I wanted you to hear it from me that I think everyone here is awesome. As soon as I do any more videogame related work it will end up at Destructoid's door step immediately.

Hugs and cocks,

Tristero

P.S. I'll try not to be such a bastard about responding to my good friends in the future.

P.P.S. Charlie was right about the mini-golf debauchery. I've got the bruises to show for it.
Pangloss's Destructoid Blog
The above comment was precisely what I was hoping for as soon as I saw this Cblog feature. Carry on, Justice, let's find all those kidnapped little white girls we see on TV all the time.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
A comment! Thank god he lives! I always thought Tristero was a pretty cool guy.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Oh crap this post has been UBER-SUCESSFUL!

Scape that idea of interviewing people is definitely righteous, I'll try to gethold of Nex though his blog and Robert Summa somehow.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Also if you think I did this for selfish reasons Tristero, you're wrong! It's all to make sure you're doing alright ya know, pop by Dtoid when you can dude and best of luck with your personal business.
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Awesome. Good to finally see Tris. Now find Ishaan.

TRISTERO SIGHTING FTW!!!!
Righteous Ice's Destructoid Blog
Justice, youre such a horrendous flop yourself that I can barely comprehend you having the balls to call anything else in this galaxy a flop.

1.) Have you seen your avatar?
VERY nice photoshop filter work.
Are you trying to seduce other men over the internet with those sexy eyes of yours? Because its working.
2.) Have you read your own blog?
I can barely fathom the greatness of such classics as this, your most recent post;
"What happened to #1: Tristero"
The very fact that you are concerned instantly propels your life into one of flopness.

Read a book, take a nap, stop flopping.
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Snail I know what happened to Isshan and Righteous Ice what are you on about?

Stop wasting your life flopping by trying to make others feel bad and failing and redirect that time to something more productive.

Plus my avatar is better than a shameless plug!

Also when did I call something a flop?
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Tristero lives!
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Nice one Justice!

There are actually some community members that I'm curious about. In particular, I want to know what happened to MasterLedZ. I even sent him a message on Facebook, but with no response.
