About
My name is Max Scoville and I host The Destructoid Show on Revision3. You are more than welcome to follow me on Twitter and I have a Flickr of some weird pictures I drew.

Here's an embarrassing picture of me from high school:

Hey everyone. Tonight, we had a rather entertaining episode of The Destructoid Show ready to go up, but the evil ghost of Jonathan Holmes that haunts our studio set fire to several of the editing bays and our producer, Zac Minor. It was a true american tragedy, and one that could have been prevented if we'd bought robot guard-dogs like I suggested.

The audio was all out of sync, which makes videos almost as unwatchable as when the audio is N*Sync.

My girlfriend's out for her friend's birthday, and I'm home alone, so I figured I'd write in here. Been quite a while since I posted anything, and even longer since I posted anything that wasn't about Bulletstorm. Since then, I've gotten quite comfortable hosting the show -- or at least I'm enjoying the fuck out of it, and not feeling terrible nervous beforehand -- and I've started actually writing some posts for the main page. It's pretty exciting to write stuff and have people actually read it. Makes me feel like less of an on-camera-only Ryan Seacrest-ish douchebag. Writing is something I really love doing, even if it's about professional wrestling games for the iPad.

If you guys recall, we did that ridiculous Charity Water livestream a while ago, and I was mailing drawings to anyone who donated twenty bucks or more. I am almost done doing that, I think I've got one more letter to send out. If anyone doesn't get theirs, shoot me an email at max@destructoid.com, and I'll make it happen. My inbox is jam-packed full of sexually-charged emails from Tara Long, as well as threatening notices from Cliffy B's lawyers. Hah, I kid, I kid. (Tara usually just sexts me.)

Ahem.

On a relevant note, can you believe that whole sexism debacle with Jim Sterling and Anna Anthropy? I'm not trying to open up that whole can of worms again, but I think both of them were acting like a couple of obnoxious teenagers. I don't think the issue is homophobia or sexism, I think it's plain and simple civility. It's 2011, and we're (sort of) adults. Calling a woman a cunt is never going to go over well, and telling a man he's a closet homosexual... Well, that'll probably make him want to call you a cunt. There's a fine line between friendly rivalry and two people screaming insults back and forth at each other in 140 characters or less.

That whole ordeal just made me facepalm, and then imagining what it would be like if everyone in this industry put their differences aside and did our own rendition of We Are The World.

But ew, fuck that. I should probably say something inflammatory on the show sometime soon, it's been a while since I got anyone properly pissed at me.

I dunno if you guys saw, but earlier, I linked to my old DeviantArt page on Twitter. It's from like, four or five years ago, but I feel like we know each other well enough now. Go check it out, there's shit on there dating back to high school. Here are a few cherry-picked favorites:





Always had a thing for Nosferatu.



Bossk sucks. Period. Stupid Trandoshan asshole.



That'd be the best buddy comedy ever.



Speaking of Thundercats, I used to spraypaint my shirts and wear them.



,,,But I wore weirder stuff...



That was my infuriating old PC. Thing had a 10 gig HDD. Insanity.



L-R: Boba Fett, Nosferatu, Mumm-Ra, Eazy E, and Danzig.



Used to listen to a lot of power-metal.

Also, super into zombies:





...And dinosaurs:





There you have it. Old things. Lots more on the DA page.

Let me know where I can get one of those hats! As always, this blog (like you) was fun to look at!
You know you've hit it big when Tim Lincecum wears a hat with your name on it. What's that? That's Max wearing the hat? Why would he wear a hat with a picture of himself on it? That's just weird jk :)

Awesome drawings. I'm guessing you had a thing for Boba Fett!
I found funny that Daphne doesnt know the rules of internet: You flame, get your gloves and prepare to fight...
But what about Boba Fett against IG-88. I reckon the droid might get the drop on him...
You kind of have a Sergio Arognes vibe going on with your art. I enjoy it. Speaking of enjoying, your comfort on camera makes me smile. Like at the end of Men in Black when the world was revealed to be an alien god-child's marble, I see you and Tara out there on the "West Coast" (whatever that means) living and working in the marble of my mind. That may seem a bit odd to say but I've had like, three bottles of Robitussin and haven't eaten more than a handful of Triscuits in a few days so yeah,a bit tired. Anywho, thanks for sharing all the pretty pictures!
I was mostly offended by the "closet" part of "closet homosexual." I wrote an article about videogame dudes I want to bang. I'm not hiding my gay side very well.
Cool mushroom poster.
@Rexwolf2 -- There used to be a Max Scoville Cafepress shop, but it's long sunken into the shifting sands of cyberspace. I made the shop just so that I could get the hat, but posted a link on MySpace for shits. Then this girl I'd had a crush on in high school ended up buying a thong/tank top and sending me pictures of her modelling them. This was the same girl who'd said a couple years prior that she didn't like me "like that." Fuck yeah.

@Ali D -- If you do your research, you'll find that Boba Fett totally kicked IG-88's ass in Shadows Of The Empire.

@Jim -- Seriously. If you're ever in the closet for a prolonged amount of time, it's probably because you can't figure out what to wear. I just don't fully understand how getting called gay by a lesbian makes any sense. That's not even the pot calling the kettle black, that's like the pot calling the kettle kitchenware.
That hat is total dicktits.

That is to say, it's fucking awesome.
On the Jim/Daphne thing... best comment that sums up the whole situation was the second one on her blog:

"This posting seems to lack merit and newsworthiness. If Jim had replied to your girlfriend’s provocations with a learned discussion on women in the gaming industry, that would be noteworthy.
However, your girlfriend agitated an individual known for his acerbic, biting nature and chauvinism. For you and her to be upset at his response is rather irrational. This is like walking behind a horse, slapping it on the buttocks and being bewildered that it kicked you 10 feet into the air.
If your goal is truly to bring about a positive change in perceptions of women in the gaming community and industry, then I believe you and your girlfriend are going about it in the wrong way. Complaining about a problem rarely fixes it. Complaining about a problem you, or in this instance, your girlfriend, created and then demanding that someone else should fix it is merely hypocrisy."

This pretty much sums up the whole thing in my mind.
That first Zombie pic is amazing, you should do more massive zombie apocalypse pictures. Maybe draw a pic that shows what would happen if the T-virus suddenly broke out at Dtoid HQ.
I love all this stuff a lot.
Open Letter to Daphne: stfu and stop shit stirring.
Max, I second DaedHead8's request!

Pretty please? *bats eyelids*
I love that your Deviant Art includes pics of both Nosferatu and Holden Caulfield. Lets get a VS pic.
My tired eyes read "sexually-charged emails from Cliffy B." Kind of disappointed that's not the case.

I love the triceratops and Nosferatu.
Those dinosaur pictures are seriously boss.
Great stuff, I´m loving it! Ultra sleezebag power metal Max is my favorite!
Your art is awful, and you make the Destructoid show unbearable. Stop pandering to your fans and be an actual journalist.
