So Ive decided that Im going to PAX this year. Ive also fooled..I mean...intelligently convinced, a few friends to join me. Now since this is my first trip to the promised land of video game conventions, I just wanted to know if anyone has gone before, and have any advice theyd like to give me?
Like which hotel is best to book, is everything within walking distance, do I need to rent a car, how much does a six pack of beer cost in Seattle, should I pack my gat or a switchblade, boxers or briefs, you know the deal.
Also if you guys want to meet up IRL LULZ!!! Hit me up, It would be awesome to hang with some Dtoid peeps at PAX.
I love you all! Whats up Destructoid?! Like the weird uncle that visits you every so often, Ive come around again. Not just to rant and talk trash. But to actually show some love to all of you.
Its been a pretty bad year, having some hardships, losing family members, as well as loved ones. 2008 just hasnt been my year. But you know what? Despite all the bad stuff that has happened, I keep coming back to this community. I dont post as often as I should, but just like Batman (who is awesome) I stay back in the scene, viewing everyones posts, rantings, complaints, and jokes.
Some of you might feel the same way, that shit just hasnt gone your way and to those I say FUCK THAT SON!..you take that shit and throw it right back at her face. Then promptly laugh at the fact life tried to bring you down. Never have I been part of an online community where I can sit here and say that all of you guys fucking kick ass. Im not gonna go into detail like blehman once did. But everyone here, no matter how little or long theyve been here have been genuinely cool people.
Im not drunk, Im not high, (it is FRIDAY though!) I just feel good. So Im spreading that like a venereal disease to all of you. And if I could Id buy everyone a beer, just to show my appreciation. And if you dont like beer..well, screw off I got no love for you...Im just kidding..but seriously...have a beer for me.
Just like Topher and his patented phrase, "Ready to Friday"
Lets Fucking Friday like no ones Fuckin Business!!!!
OH and one more thing, if your in the South Florida area and youve got nothing to do on Saturday may I suggest: PPS: Since the name of the game is love today. Ill share my most recent creation as well: read more
Im not sure how many of you are familiar with "The Onion" its a satirical newspaper that has some of the funniest articles Ive read on print. Anyway, theyre making a movie apparently:

that Friday rolled around, I dont know about the rest of ya, but Im just about ready to go home pop open a bottle of wine and go to town. Despite the fact that Im working tomorrow. Ugh.
Since my triumphant return I was (to my surprise) asked about my art. So heres a little piece Ive been working on, Im considering making this a series of pics, kinda like pin up girls.
Yep, there she is. In all of her Full Metal Jacket glory.
Dont think Ive forgotten about MR. DESTRUCTOID COMIC, (see blog below) Ive gotta get to work on that as well as this Cancun contest. Im winning suckas, thats all there is to it. read more
So Ron Workman's post got me thinking...after a few drinks wed all like to fuck sheep.
I mean..
make sweet t shirt designs inspired by the gaming community.
So since Destructoid has a tendency to raffle stuff off like the dirty sideshow carnies you are, I thought it would be a cool idea to have a t-shirt design contest. I haven't been on the site for THAT long, long enough, but I'm not sure if you have held this kind of contest.
But since there are some of us who feel that we are up for the challenge, then why not!?
I know there are a lot of us on here that are artistically inclined, and even if some of us aren't, we've got some pretty funny/cynical bastards on here that make up for that.
So why not!? WHAT SAY YOU DTOID COMMUNITY!?
See what happens when we don't make t shirts?! Poor broads have to wear my bullets to keep themselves warm. Don't they know I need them to keep suckas in check!? read more
So this is the part where I pretty much give you a condensed version of who I am, what I like, what I listen to and all that other rubbish.
I like to draw, lots, I like it even more than eating (and living by myself and having to pay rent just goes hand in hand) Beer is awesome, DARK beer, none of this Corona/Miller/Budweiser/Coors piss water the majority of people drink.
Im an old school gamer, and by old school I mean I cashed my grandmas Social security check to buy me an Atari 2600. GANGSTAAAA!!
Oh and Big Poppa Gamers dancing asian chick icon/avatar doesnt help me concentrate on anything.
