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.

I am so sick of lifestyle advertising. Introducing the new Dtoid Ad Campaign
Niero \| 4:26 PM on 02.13.2008	143 comments

It's no secret I work in advertising. I like it when its clever. But over and over I see the same shit - stock photo, bland promise or fake testimonial featuring some yuppie, and a brand with a blanket slogan that neither means anything or delivers anything. Fucking hacks. So! I've decided to make a statement and begin advertising Destructoid doing the exact opposite. The ads will only run on our sites and are just for fun. I hope you get a laugh at them.
