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.
Destructoid was an awesome community that was filled with gamers he enjoyed being around. There were a few haters, but for the most part there was plenty o' love.
I know, I'm some random guy most of you new members wont even recognize, but I was around when Bahamut would post random garbage, spew his two cents, and everyone laughed. I continue to laugh at blehmans posts about long cat, and sometimes wish other old school peeps like Rocvillan and Kingv3bo would post more often. I dont know, memories I guess.
Ive noticed in the recent months (years?) it seems like more and more people are being hostile and just criticizing the dudes reviewing games, or anything really. All Im saying is that the new generation (Im sounding like a geezer) needs to just sit back and see things from another perspective. Just because you dont see the point of view of some individuals, doesnt mean you gotta bash them. Youll learn that in life, shutting your mouth and listening to people and trying to see it from their point of view will help you out.
Anyway, this is just a short little rant from an old school member telling all of the destructoid community to appreciate what they got. Destructoids got one of the coolest staff, if I could buy em all a beer I would.
In conclusion, Destructoids gettin hate, and Im here to send a little love.
Kids will be kids. Ha! :P I just came here a few days ago for the first time and I love this site, but I was pretty put off by all the hate. I don't expect everyone to love each other but...come on, it's just ridiculous! Some people want to actually have some discussion but there is a considerable amount of name-calling and what not about a guy who just wants to tell people what he thinks. Boggles the mind...well, it IS the internet after all. Oh, sigh.
People take their reviews of game way too seriously. In the end, it boils down to personal opinions -- which are personal. Why so many people get so worked up over them and spew such hatred toward reviewers is beyond me.
I'm betting that personal maturity and age (or lack thereof) have something to do with it.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

It's like getting your cake and eating it too!
