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.

Oh, hi. Unless you're what we fondly call an "oldfag", you might not recognize me. I'm Niero. I founded this site a billion years ago. I definitely don't cblog as much as I should. Shameful! It's not without some sheepishness though, as I've been trying to modernize our software for the last two years (and failed miserably once, on my second go-around now) so I'm usually in my mancave tinkering away at our someday future version of the site. I'm not a good programmer. Luckily I've hired some people. Wheh. More on this later.

Anyway, I'll be at PAX in a few weeks with my robot child Mr. Destructoid. Come find me and demand to try the new helmet on. It now has programmable lights, is 3x lighter than the previous one (believe it!) and instantly makes you a sex magnet. There's also an optional pair of pimp shoes if you're a size 10-11.



When I'm not working on the empire you can find me on instagram or twitter as @ dtoidniero.

See you soon!

DON'T CHANGE THE COMMENT SYSTEM MY LORD!

TIME STAMPS AND EDIT BUTTONS ARE THE DEVILS DICK.
Too bad I decided to skip this year's PAX. That new helmet sounds great.
Mah fucking el hefe. Shiiieeeet.
Why am I not going to Pax!? Next year I'll be quicker on the trigger.
I've got to get to PAX one of these days when I have the time. And the money. And I don't live in Utah.
Needs moar robots!
Oh, I will take you up on that offer to wear that amazing helmet, believe me.
Oh, Destructoid Beta. We had a laugh, didn't we?
3X lighter... wut?

Looking forward to PAX! :D
Steven always has the best shoes
Wearing the helmet makes you a robogod, fact. I wish I could go to Seattle every year. I miss the Red Elephant.

Also, new version still incoming!? Woot wooooooooot!
Nice to see you on the cblawgs!
God, I wore the v2 helmet a few years ago. I'm 5' 4" and 120 lbs. Could not see past my feet and had to be lead around everywhere. Toooooo bad PAX is really not so worth going to these days.
You have my axe mi Lord.
3x lighter? Cocaine is one hellova drug!
It's an honor to be called an "oldfag" by our robot overlord.
>I founded this site a billion years ago

This is literally true. Historians have determined that most, if not all, of the world's major religions were based on the teachings of Mr. Destructoid.
3x lighter, you say?

Strappin' that shit to the head of my dick CONFIRMED.
Who the fuck is Niero and what the fuck is PAX?
<3
Does the helmet come equipped with see through vision, you know like see through walls, doors, clothes, buildings. I NEED TO KNOW DAMMIT!
Just hearing that it's three times lighter than the last makes me want to try it on. I'll demand it from you when I see you at PAX.
bring back embeding plz :P?
Speaking as someone whose worn multiple editions of the helmet (and got to sport it at PAX back when it was the exclusive domain of oldfags), I wish to add the following: "3x lighter" still makes it an Olympic weightlifting event, and I will confirm that it is a complete sex magnet. Unfortunately, it does not yet shoot eye lasers, but you can bluff like it does.

Can't wait to see you in C-addle, you beautiful bastard.
sex robot, sex robot, sex robot, sex robot.
what does he waaaaaaant? he wants seeeeeex.
I am so sad that I won't be seeing you guys at PAX this year. Like, more sad about that than any other consequence of losing my day job.
Long live the king!
@Sir Legendhead


The new helmet is just so nierodamn sexy. Looking forward to the site updates!
@ CelicaCrazed

Oh {i]wow[/i]. You just blew my mind with that one. Seriously, that is amazing...
I love you fetusmilk
Best thing ever.
I want to wear it, so bad.
Dammit I need to see this new helmet!!!!
It's beautiful

*eyes sparkle*
