I suppose this is the part where I introduce my self, and you all respond with a cordial (but expected) "welcome to Dtoid", "it's time to get raped", etc.
I'm female. Not stating this as a bias, merely forewarning anyone who might think I'm a candy-ass for my game choices if they didn't know my gender. Plus, I have boobs. They're really nice and squishy and I thought you should all know.
My roots stem from the NES, skipping the SNES and moving straight to the 64. Thusly, my gaming started in Nintendo and it has carried through. I'm still a big fan of the N64, and I love my Wii. Yes, I still have a Gamecube. My personal favorites are Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Harvest Moon, and anything Mario Party.
The XBox 360 has become a staple of gaming for me; without it, I wouldn't be able to get my fix of Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars, or my pre-order fix for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. I'm mostly a fan of arcade, though before my Live subscription ran out, I was a big fan of GoW. If I had to rank, the 360 falls slightly below the Wii. Yes, I know, I'm biased, but Nintendo's what I was raised on, and as such it's the bread and butter of my gaming.
I'm not really a big fan of Sony. When I was younger, I had a Playstation. When I got older, I got a PS2. Nothing that Sony has done has really grabbed me, and their loss of money over the PS3 was certainly not a crying matter for me. Now that they've dropped the price and the quality of the PS3, I'm certainly not impressed. I'd like Sony if they made games I like, but after whiling away two months of my time on RPG Maker, and being forced to buy a PS2 nouveau to run the damn game, I kind of gave up. Call me bitter, but nothing about the PS3 is a siren song to draw me back to Sony. I did, however, keep my PS2 for "nostalgic" value. It just kind of sits there. Sometimes, at night, while I'm playing 360, I think I can hear it crying.

Really? Fuck off.
I second Clance.
smh
Your first blog on this site already has so much hatred in it. Were you abused at some other video game site and you are now taking it out on us. We aren't really interested in the fact you are a girl, and we also aren't interested in the fact you have boobs. All we care about is whether you will contribute to the site or not.
I believe you will find that some of the most respected people on this site are our female members like Nintendoll who really contribute a lot to the community. Starting off like this though is not really a way to get respect from the Dtoid community.
@Silver- No, I was not abused at another video game site, Dtoid is my first. Also, the boobs comment was meant to be a joke, but I guess I'm just fail at internet humor. :(
Well, like silverdragon said, your gender isn't a big deal RE: how much we (the community) respects you. Your ownership of lady parts won't detract from any quality content, coolness, hilarity that you may bring to the table.
That said, show us your opinions. Rattle off something substantial, show up to Friday Night Fights and show us that you don't suck.
also, Takeshi probably cares that you have boobs.
@Meringue
I don't think we can detect humor from new people, unless they show videos from youtube or pictures of themselves with ducks.
At least that's what I've heard. How does this site work again?
@Meringue
We get alot of girls that post here for attention. lol just last week we had a girl get 200+ comments in her blog because she posted herself with her boobs hanging out.
GTA made me say it!
I prefer my meringue crunchy and crumbly. "Squishy" meringue means the chewy kind that is turning slightly stale.
To recap, I like crunchy meringue boobs. But whether my meringue has boobs or not is irrelevant. Either way, I will enjoy it dry or with strawberries & cream. meringue usually brings something interesting to the tabel so I hope you can.
Welcome to Dtoid, time to get raped.
table*
*high fives* Hooray for being a girl, and liking Harvest Moon.
Forget the assholes, they happen. I also enjoy having squishy boobs, the boys are just jealous.
Jack of No Trades makes a point when he says a lot of girls sign up for game sites for attention. Once you start posting decent blogs, comments or forum posts, people will warm up to you a bit.
Welcome to the site :)
Since he hasn't arrived yet..
Welcome to Destructoid
Mr. Sadistic <3's you
Welcome to Destructoid, don't suck.
And don't show your boobs, you'll regret it in the long run.
I prefer boobs to feel like bags of sand.
Welcome to dtoid. Don't suck. And don't be an attention whore.

Welcome to Dtoid. I suggest that you check around to see if there is a Dtoid group in your area and come to events that maybe planned. Also join us for Friday Night Fights if you get the opportunity.

Welcome to Dtoid!
I grew up with the NES myself. I didn't skip the SNES, but I am coming from the same place you are, and I'm quite the Nintendo fan myself.
That is prety much the best intro header I have read.

Tubatic is right. Ducks always work! :)
Welcome. Always nice to have more girls join up.
