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.

I was looking at ModernMethod's google analytics for the last five years out and, as if by the will of the Gods, number sixty nine was legendary.

This is so wrong. And so true.

Speaking of which, if you're reading this you've found a sneaky call for summer interns in the place that I know on our hardcore readers would find. We'd like a few extra hands working from home to help us expand our PC, MMO, and Sports coverage. If you're interested in blogging about any of these topics on our home page please send links to your blogs to interns@destructoid.com.

You're looking for a new sports coverage intern? Samit better start watching his back!
Isn't "family incest" kind of redundant?
Also, what happened to the link to friends' blogs from the front page? You guys make a habit of getting rid of it for some reason.
I should start blogging more. It's been forever.
Reality is hilarious. Well played, internet!

I'm hoping Ekans was at least metric #7.
DESTRUCTOID.
just below family incest.
@Darren: "Incest! The Game The Whole Family Can Play"

I remember someone went and found my old music blog by searching for the term "animal porn", no idea how that happened.
Wow, that is..... uhhhhhh, yeah.
Lol, how random.
If you'd needed some on-hand reviewers I woulda been super down. I haven't had too much time for many other things either unless D-Toid decided they wanted to help host and finance the Nostaljourney podcast. So far Mr. Holmes and Ponce will not donate me their livers to the cause of giving out free copies of Super Mario RPG to the D-Toid community.
I love Destructoid, writing and PC games. I kind of like MMOs and I´m ok with sports games. I´ve only written two blogs so far and I have no PC of my own right now because I have no money and no job. Plus I moved from Lebanon/Beirut to Perth/Scotland to study for a tiring career that I don´t care much for (aeronautical engineering). Can I still apply for intership?
LOL! I don't play PC games, sports games or MMO's... so that pretty much closes that door pretty quickly! :)
@Elsa: maybe, but all those articles that got promoted onto the front page might count for something.
Come on guys! I can't be the only intern!
I'm not a big player of any of those genres, but i'm willing to learn. Can I still apply.
Well see, if you had needed an intern to cover family incest, well shit, I got that covered.

Occam, this is your brain. Dude, seriously, just because you are from Mississippi, you dont have to be from Mississippi.

Oh brain, you smell like flowers.

I'm trying so hard to have an aneurysm right now.

ICE CREAM HEADACHE!
lol sportz.
Wait a minute...I play sports games in secret...
Does it matter if I'm poor and only play old PC games and FTP MMO's cuz if not I might have to dust off my writing tools and get back to work.
Family Incest - 100%
Damn. My PC can barely play games from 5 years ago, and the other 2 categories hold no interest for me.
Family Incest is the only kind of incest I'm down with, as far as I'm concerned.
Why is 69 so funny I thought that's all we do here?
Shoot, if I weren't doing a bunch of summer stuff already, I'd be all over this.
YOU'VE GOT MAIL.
"harhar imma look for family incest on teh interwebz"
"no! your google search will tip the search result metrics for that to the 68th spot!"
"oh ok. mebe tomorrow."
i see what all the Dick Bumpin & Clam Jammin' did the other night, on DTOIDChat.
I would love to blog about PC stuff, but alas, one is not particularly a fantastic writer, and I'm pretty busy. Makes me ad.
See, I even had a typo there.
I guess I need to get writing some more, but I love pc games, and I'd love it even more to write about them.

Also, that search result is downright hilarious.
....Is there any other kind?

Family nights are just so dull these days.
If only you needed an intern for making tea. I can just about do that.
THOSE 3 HITS WERE FROM ME
This is how the story for "Pursuit of Happiness 2" starts out.
Haha awesome! Good luck to who ever gets the gig!!
Thanks to everyone that applied! We have our picks for PC, which we will announce next month.

We're still looking for Sports Gaming and MMO writers, so hit us up.
O HAI, Niero. :] Destructoid is, apparently, a hub for family incest.
I LOVE SNEAKY BLOGS!!
If I had the time, I would be all over MMO's. But LIFE! D:
