Destructoid's newest editor
Justin Villasenor \| 9:02 PM on 06.05.2008	62 comments

Hey guys, I’m the new editor on the block, but I’m not really a new guy. I’ve been regularly hanging around Destructoid under the moniker of TheGoldenDonut since late 2006. My name started getting attached to posts when I began sending in tips last summer, and a few months later I was officially added to the site’s staff as a News Contributor. So yeah, I’m not exactly someone new, exciting, and mysterious, but I do know you guys and the community vibe pretty well.

Starting today I’ll be filling the role of Destructoid’s PC Editor, hopefully doing to PC game coverage what Samit did with sports. I’ve been a long-time enjoyer of PC games (especially of the strategy variety) and I’m happy to be giving them a louder voice on the frontpage.

I’ll do my best not to suck. :)

...And I need to get around to changing that header image at some point.

do me a favor and try not to stick to the strategy variety. Mix it up a bit. I along with other people in the community will play them but are not a first choice in gaming style. Right now I am currently playing my way through HalfLife Episode 2. (I know I am a bit late) I am downloading F.E.A.R Thank you. And I hope to see more from you in the future.

about me

Hey all, the name�s Justin and I�ve been hanging around Destructoid since late 2006. It�s okay if you don�t recognize me from way back when, as I was originally known as TheGoldenDonut (and still am in the forums). I joined the staff in 2007 as a News Contributor after flooding the tip line on a daily basis, and now I get to write stuff on the front page. It�s been one interesting ride, to say the least.

My online games, let me play them with you.
