Your complete guide to Destructoid

After about 2 months reading stories on Destructoid, I finally signed up for an account finding out there was a blog slightly piqued my interest. I decided to try and give my own personal opinion on games and the industry as so many others have probably tried to do in the past. I want to bring my own views to people onto the internet, and maybe get a job doing this or something other in games. This post is here to acclimate myself to Destructoid and to see what interest I get from within the community. So feel free to leave a comment to express your opinion on my new endeavor, to give me tips on how to get the ball rolling, or just to say hello.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

dude, put all that stuff in your PROFILE, not your BLOG.

Welcome, make your first blog better than mine. (long story short, I think I had one nice comment)

Welcome to Destructoid! Put this stuff in your profile, and hide this blog. Now. Before everyone else gets to it. They won't be as nice.

RonBurgandy2010

brecksher is totally right, trust me ;)
Also, if possible, avoid the wrath of Reaprar, he hurts

McClain

Alright thanks for the advice put the info about myself in my profile and off the actual blog post. Still apparently have to learn the basics.

Skribble

Reaprars cool when he isn't telling everyone how shit their blog is cos he has seen the information before ;P

Also, welcome. Like these guys have said, i suggest you put this stuff in your profile and hide this. Make your first blog about something interesting that you want to talk about; it's a sure fire way to make a good first impression.

As for tips on how to get the ball rolling. Simply open up word, put a topic heading of something you like/are interested in and then just start typing down what you think. There is no better way to expand upon your ideas and opinions than to actually discuss them.

Skribble

also, cocks.

bahss

Yeah, take Skribble's advice. But, I'd say don't do anything having to do with lists... Something Original though, so make sure you do a search before you hit that post button.
