About Me

edit

Hello! I'm the founder of Destructoid. My cblog page is always in ruin because I use it to test my code.

Please feel free to bitch at me when I break something or do something you don't like to the site. I love getting email from people that really care about making the site better, so hit me up with your ideas!

You can reach me at niero [at] destructoid.com.

Destructoid's new ad campaign gets violently happy
Niero \| 7:56 PM on 10.12.2009	85 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.

Attached photos:

MrSadistic

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.

shipero

This is great news. I'm always looking to meet hot singles in my area. All I can seem to meet are physically underwhelming divorc�es.

Diverse

Damn, for a second I thought you we're talking about meeting moot.

CWal37

I came.

Y0j1mb0

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

Haha, very nice.

ArrestedDeveloper

There are 10 girls on Dtoid? I gotta go spruce up my profile.

king3vbo

Hard grinding ftw

Technophile

brb calling Elsa and Atheistium.

Jesus H Christ

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

I love the hard grinding one, it made me laugh. Good work as always

Cataract

You were in NY, and didn't bother trying to get in touch with the DTNY group.

Niero, I am disappoint.

Naim Master

It's like Children of The Corn all over again...

Niero

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!

Danmartigan

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.

Silverback 55

80,000 women read this site?! I'm going to put on my AXE Body Spray, the clean wifebeater, and my zubaz pants.

KINGof210

@Silverback 55:

You can't go wrong with Zubaz!

Darren Nakamura

Hey, I actually used to frequent OKCupid, back when I was single and looking. It's a good place.

Puppy Licks

I dig it :)

GamingGoddess

Now I know why my parents keep telling me that I'm unpossible!

Cute ads, btw.

fetusmilk

im always down for choking some people

Technophile

@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.

Brian Szabelski

This has convinced me to go join OKCupid so I can see these ads in action. :D

BahamutZero

You mean /b/ isn't a dating site? That explains the unusually high number of shemales I end up hooking up with.

pedrovay2003

Heh, this is amazing.

Loogibot

DaedHead8

I'm a woman too, but only when Mr. Sadistic comes over to play some 'cube.

Sean Carey

I want to see one with a picture of a GH controller and the caption -- "Destructoid : We use the rhythm method."
