Coonskin05's Destructoid Blog
The goggles, they do nothing.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
I think the only person that could have possible not noticed such a GIGANTIC redesign would be Savant.
Wedge's Destructoid Blog
I think it's pretty SW3AT
Necros's Destructoid Blog
The sweatband on the robot is just adorable, though.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Man, I’ve got to get a new laptop. I don’t see any of the characters on the sides, because my piece-of-shit computer maxes out at 1024×768 resolution.
Macca's Destructoid Blog
Shut up, damn hippie.
altrus's Destructoid Blog
Fine Job.
Fana7ic's Destructoid Blog
The search icon is hidden behind the searchbar, but otherwise I pretty much like it
masterledz's Destructoid Blog

Damn You Nintendo!
Niero's Destructoid Blog
haha thanks for bearing with me guys :) At the very least there's a cool giveaway coming along with it. Go cashwhore go!

I'm also taking this opportunity to make some long-needed usability improvements to our very cluttered sidebar
animateria's Destructoid Blog
So~

Expect for Deca Sports to get a 11 out of 10 then?

Go cashwh0re Go!
sleepingagain's Destructoid Blog
blinding colors 11/10
Lukich's Destructoid Blog
@Samit

I think this is one of the few times I wish I had your shitty laptop instead of my awesome-sauce model. The sides are NOT something you want to see.
Topher Cantler's Destructoid Blog
Samit, we need to get you a new rig, son. 1024? My heart aches.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
@ Samit

I actually had to extend my screen to get that shot. I normally only take up about 3/5 of my widescreen Macbook monitor with Firefox because I like to multitask, and it works because so few sites force you to extend beyond that limit. Dtoid fits perfectly into this 3/5 kind of thing with no cut-off.
BahamutZero's Destructoid Blog
for once I agree with necros. yikes.
Niero's Destructoid Blog
Ok, as soon as this skin comes down let's do something wild.

Something that makes absolutely no sense.

...

Michael McDonald tribute?
Hollie Bennett's Destructoid Blog
i likes it, its colourful and prettyful.
MatCD's Destructoid Blog
I got a Mustache in compensation for Foxtoid



Now I want a head band


JJ Rage's Destructoid Blog
This skin makes my penis sad.
Aziel13's Destructoid Blog
crawling in my skin
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
This new skin instantly puts an 80's movie training montage song into my head. For that alone it's awesome.
CypherVR's Destructoid Blog
I <3 Dtoid


Justice's Destructoid Blog
I love the colours, they're FABULOUS!
*hand-flick*
Vlambo's Destructoid Blog
I was like WTF when I loaded up Dtoid this mourning.
KamikazeTutor's Destructoid Blog
SWEAT!
wardrox's Destructoid Blog
dude, some warning might have been nice, I wake up, roll over to my computer and BLAM! Hit right in the face with some yellow.
kadosho's Destructoid Blog
One of the sexiest modifications to the site, to date.
Won't find stuff like this anywhere else.
Aertyr's Destructoid Blog
MY EYEZ! THEY ARE SO!....... Happy..... *sniff*
Boolean's Destructoid Blog
mmm, I think I would prefer Dtoid to only do these full site skins to products they recommend, as Penny Arcade does, not just every product a company throws some money. I dread the day Dtoid just becomes a constant cycling skin from one promotion of Cooking mama to the next promotion of Dogz. If Dtoid is willing to skin the whole site in Deca sports, do they really think I should go buy it, or is the impression “yeah we have no probs promoting a shitty game someone might spend money on, as long as we are getting paid for this gig”.

It seems iffy.
liquidninja's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, kinda love the new design.
007's Destructoid Blog
Lets have something for Walmart next...
Electro Lemon's Destructoid Blog
Fuck. Ron beat me to it.
Electro Lemon's Destructoid Blog
Correction:

Fuck. Necros beat me.
aborto thefetus's Destructoid Blog
And I thought I was just seeing things.....
Alpha 87655320875's Destructoid Blog
I finally feel motivated to go outside now. :D
Professor Pew's Destructoid Blog
My eeyeeees! Full of color and casual gameness, like a crit to my heart. At least it fits the summer weather over here ;)
ScottyG's Destructoid Blog
With the exception of the yellow I don't mind. Like some others have said the robot with the sweatband is pretty cute.

The yellow though? Yeah, that's just raping my eyes. :(
razerangel's Destructoid Blog
I thought my pc was being sick for a moment but alas it is only a promotion
Silverback 55's Destructoid Blog
What is this "Sweat" thing the robot wants me to do?
SpiderChrist's Destructoid Blog
Wait, is Deca Sports the one we had a hand in naming way back?

I still think Sportals would have been a better name.
nademagnet's Destructoid Blog
After the Deca Sports ad comes down I vote for a MAGICAL theme with UNICORNS crapping out RAINBOWS and ELVES snorting PIXIE DUST and MR DESTRUCTOID high fiving SATAN while playing FREEBIRD on Rockband! YEAH! That would be sweet!
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Kapkomi has the right idea. Sweatbands for everyone!
Samson's Destructoid Blog
I WILL EAT YOUR HAPPINESS!!!
F Whipple's Destructoid Blog
I love the new theme. Anything taking after the 80's is fine by be
Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
meh whatever. It works. I also agree on Sweatbands.
HarassmentPanda's Destructoid Blog
Necros, for instant pleasure, go here: http://cashwh0re.com/

It's simply Dtoid with a different style sheet. You still get all of your dtoid updates with the colors you've come to know and love.
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
I like the new usability improvements I've noticed so far.

Too bad this yellow makes it even more apparent that I'm not on "company" domains. Oh well, fuck it.

 about me



Yo. I'm a junior at Syracuse University, studying Television/Film at the Newhouse school.

I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.

I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.

I have epic hair.

I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.

I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.
