About
Hi, I started Destructoid. Ever heard of it?



Destructoid used to be my tiny personal blog on the web, and now it's grown into this crazy monstrosity of a gaming community. Needless to say, I'm proud of what we've done and optimistic we can do a whole lot more. I've been at this with all my heart since 2006. I really love what I do, and hope you enjoy our writers' work.



Left to right: Me, Jim, Rey, Dale, Conrad.

You can learn about the history of Destructoid on Wikipedia, there's a pretty nice article about some of the things we've done in both editorial and charity work.

As for me, I'm pretty busy working on the future version of our site most of the time, so unfortunately I don't get to write as much as I would enjoy doing. I do go outside sometimes. The best thing I've ever done is volunteer. I didn't mean to dress like Luigi, it just kinda happened.



My primary job now as publisher is to keep the editorial team happy and build new features for you guys, our readers. I'm also one of the site's front-end programmers, so I'm always doing stuff behind the scenes. It's a lot of fun for me to switch jobs around the company and do a little bit of everything. I draw inspiration from a few places you may have heard of:



Thanks for checking out my blog today! I realize you have many kitten web sites to visit today, so I appreciate you strolling through my site and supporting what we do.

Wait...groups?
Is it possible to have a group called : "Stick it to the man"
Groups? Elaborate. Also, mine shall be "The Guild of Inquisitive Interlopers."
The "I <333 Lindsay Lohan" Group.

@ Niero
Can't wait for the Robot's Reboot! Do it!!!
My group will be called The Butt Lovers.. and I will probably be the only member.
Awesome about the group function... PAX, Canadians, MAG...lots of options!
Thanks!

Side note - is it weird that my avatar was deleted, and I can't upload a new one?
My cblog group: The Dexters. It's very exclusive.
My group will be called "The Elitist Pricks".
Or I'll just join whichever Forumtoid group happens to pop up first.
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMTOID!

Happy 4th, everyone!
Groups huh? Cool!

Also, when I saw the wolf joke yesterday on a Red Dead Redemption news, a single tear rolle down my cheek for the good ol' times. Hooray for old-school DToid.
Dibs on "Destructoid: Wu Tang Edition"
I wanna trademark the group: "MOTHERFUCKERS"
Maybe we should have a group of registered trolls. Kind of like a Thieves' Guild. Because when you think about it, the only thing worse than organized crime...is disorganized crime.

Also, @ Magnalon, I had a similar problem today. My av disappeared after updating my blog and I got a fail message after reuploading it. Try going back and refreshing the page, it worked for me.
You just think you're soooo cool with your "inside jokes" and your "amazing video game website" don't you!!!

Also, happy July 4th (:
Groups?

It sounds like your putting us into classes. Only I'll be stuck in the 'slow' group, while all my friends laugh at me...like what happened when I had to sit in a lower class for Maths cuz I was well stoopid wit numbres.
now wait a second here...did I just read groups? You have intrigued me on this our Independence Day.
My group will be THE GROUP and its where all the cool kids go because naming something after whatever it is everyone else will be doing to is the cool thing to do. Just like naming your band The Band, or your soccer team The Soccer Team. Yessssss.
Did I just see a how many wolves must die? ;)
happy 4th, buddy.
I'm going with Molly's forum group.
I'm starting the C-List Dtoiders group. Who's coming with me?
this is the second time this inside joke has popped up in the past few days, and i approve.
The return of the CBM hopefully!

Or not... Happy 4th!
I declare Gobun's Rogues Gallery a thing.
Segmenting the community is not a good idea. We will see though.
Groups... well, I'll run my mouth off when I know all the details. But, somthing deep down inside me, tells me this is not a good idea.
BORN TO ROAM
I get jokes.
Niero! I think I've said this before, but, you are always the bearer of good news. :)

Oh and @Andy: You know I love butts as much as the next guy. Sign me up!
I love racial profiling. Lets split all the users into groups based on the color of their skin. White Group gets special contests, Red Group gets their property taken away from them, Yellow Group has to pay a monthly subscription, and Black Group is barred from several sections of the site.
I propose, "The Dispenser Group" :3
Is this like "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a TootsieRoll Pop?"

Do tell.
I will call my group the Dtoid Army.
.....all of them. Allah Akhba.

Seriously though, we really should have kept you guys under our Empirical thumb, I mean look at the mess you've got yourself into.
I call dibs on the Holmes Groupies Group, which will be a thing i think
Nice! I can see them being very useful, especially for FnFs and the like.
I wouldn't mind starting a random pictures group. Then I can create a museum of failure and bitter sadness for all of you to browse at your leisure.
I will be president of the "blogs an average of twice a year" group.
my group will be thew idevice group
@CountingConflict - Even before this feature people have been trying to use the cblogs to organize groups. There's the recap group, the irc cartel, the google groups people, the forum-only people, the c-blog only people, the uk crew, the city groups, the australia group, etc. There's already cliques within the community, so we're just giving them better tools to do that. :)
Steamtoid, maybe, so I can get to know those people better.
Forum group FTW!!!!! but then I might be just a bit biased.
I hope everyone's 4th was as good as mine, I had 4 different BBQs over the weekend and it was amaaaaaazing. Anyways, can't wait to join the official dtoid beard group.
My group?

.....

CBM comeback?
Can I get the "whatistheexcel.com Portable" group?
Dumbledore's Army is a thing that needs to happen.
