Hi I'm new. I've been lurking the Destructoid homepage for probably a month or two now and listening to Podtoid. I only recently noticed the blogs part and thought I'd give it a try. I've always wanted to have a blog to practice my writing skills, but didn't want to deal with all those emo bullshit blogs on places like LiveJournal. A Dtoid blog seems like the perfect medium for me and there are a lot of talented writers here!

I discovered Destructoid in a very roundabout way, despite how popular it is as a gaming news site. It all started when I clicked on The Geek's (Grant Darigol, from The Weekly Geek) signature from the Penny Arcade forums probably about a year and a half ago. I became a regular listener and after a while I started hearing more and more about some site called Destructoid. First, Chris Furniss mentioned being a guest on Podtoid a couple times, and then Colette Bennett started frequenting the show. Eventually I decided to visit this site and was blown away by how often it was updated and how active the community was.

So yeah, I think that's about it; hopefully one day I can contribute something useful to Destructoid. You guys all seem awesome and I look forward to getting to know you better.
