Destructoid's new ad campaign gets violently happy
Niero | 7:56 PM on 10.12.2009 81 comments




Update: The banners were rejected. They asked me to tone it down. Foiled again! Maybe I should just run these on 4chan instead.

I was in New York last week and ran into a guy that runs a popular dating site called /b/ or something like that, the name escapes me. Actually, it's OkCupid. Since we're both independent we thought hey, let's help each other out and run a banner ad trade for each other and see if we can't get our users to give each other's bear aids (tm).

"What the hell kind of banner ads should we run on a dating site?", I pondered.

I know! It should it be about how to meet/scare the ten lovely women that read Destructoid. I can see it now:

"Call Elsa & Atheistium for a good time! -click here-"

Maybe not. Anyway, what I came up with is attached in the gallery below. I hope you're amused and coming over later with the blow torches and chainsaws.

MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
I'm here to molest. Maybe some cool ranch doritos. I'm 72 percent sure I'm here for games. Probably here for raping too.

Also, I'd blow your torch.

Haha ... This is the only guy who can make a shortblog as funny as a full-length feature. Keep writing, Niero!
shipero's Destructoid Blog
This is great news. I'm always looking to meet hot singles in my area. All I can seem to meet are physically underwhelming divorcées.
Diverse's Destructoid Blog
Damn, for a second I thought you we're talking about meeting moot.
CWal37's Destructoid Blog
I came.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
I'll wager there are more than ten women who read Destructoid.

You should have an indicator what with some of the surveys done. I'd be curious to see the percentage of our female gamers/readers.
ace of knaves's Destructoid Blog
Haha, very nice.
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog

Well there are some pretty lovely ladies in our fine little community. I just hope this doesn't bring us a bunch of attention starved grrrrrrrrrrl gamers.
Tdiddy9182's Destructoid Blog
I love the hard grinding one, it made me laugh. Good work as always
Cataract's Destructoid Blog
You were in NY, and didn't bother trying to get in touch with the DTNY group.


Niero, I am disappoint.
Naim Master's Destructoid Blog
It's like Children of The Corn all over again...
Niero's Destructoid Blog
Something like 8% of our readers are female, so it's more like 80,000. I'm just being a cynic :) That should have been the ad. WE HAF THOUSANDS OF VIDYA GAME WOMENGS!
Scion of Mogo's Destructoid Blog
silly Niero. We all know girls who play vidja games don't exist. I know fr a fact that both Stella and Collete are just figments of our collective imaginations. I mean it's really just us wishing thems anime girls played the games too. But they don't. Because girls playing the vidya games is unpossible
Danmartigan's Destructoid Blog
Hey Niero, Meetup+Play is broken. I left a message in the forums on Saturday, not sure if anyone checks that thing. I'm coming over later with the blow torches and chainsaws.
MkShiranui's Destructoid Blog
Scion of Mongo, did you lose your mind in addition to your avatar? [Laughs.]

Also, Niero, where's the music? That was an innovation.
Silverback 55's Destructoid Blog
80,000 women read this site?! I'm going to put on my AXE Body Spray, the clean wifebeater, and my zubaz pants.
Scion of Mogo's Destructoid Blog
@mkshiranui - I lost my avatar? I'm looking at a super hot sexy Mikey drawing right now.....and it's hot. Like a lady. Who don't play video games. because that would be unpossible. and if it were to be seen it's only in the collective imagination of all the dudes who hang here.
KINGof210's Destructoid Blog
@Silverback 55:

You can't go wrong with Zubaz!
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
Hey, I actually used to frequent OKCupid, back when I was single and looking. It's a good place.
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog

Technophile's Destructoid Blog
@Danmartigan

There isn't a Danmartigan ON the forums. At least not that I see. Do you have a different username over there? Where did you post?

I check that support forum every day and I don't remember seeing a post about meetup and play being broken, although I could have missed it.

 about me

Funny story: I run Destructoid. I'm your plucky webmaster.

Not so funny story: While testing new site features I somehow deleted my bio. Awesome! Will write another soon. The short version: I love running this site and will until they drag me away.
