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!
James: Today I was moved to RealityKings. Its a little more intense than working for Fling, which was the quasi-dating thing I signed up for. The guy sitting next to me does Flash design and all he does is pull images and videos of the shit.
Niero: You know, I'm a little hesitant to work for porn. Aside from the obvious reasons, how are you supposed to enjoy porn in your home after you work in it all day?
James: Yeah, everyone there is just like "it's just porn, whatever". I guess I'll get used to it.
Niero: And you'll come home and have to resort to porn about animals in food costumes fisting each other, as the normal porn will have no effect on you whatsoever.
James: Hah! Yeah, just like that Southpark episode. Don't be alarmed if I start bringing Japanese girls over to shit on my chest and torture me.
Niero: Speaking of Japanese weird shit, look at this game I just got. It's called Bobobo-bo-bobobo. Its based on a Shonen Jump manga and anime.
James: (puzzling over the weird box) What the fuck is this? What kind of weird studio makes this?
Niero: Hudson, same guys that do Bomberman. This afro guy walks facing the screen through trees as bad guys jump out of the trees to get him. You have to fend them off using these giant nose hairs, one per analog stick. Sometimes your friends are trapped in crates. If you rescue them they dance behind you. The soundtrack is amazing.
James: Didn't you have another game like this with Maracas?
Niero: Samba de Amigo! I have it right there. That game's very different though. Well, also different from other games too. I gravitate towards this oddball stuff.
James: I remember seeing that when you first got it in all Japanese, you didn't know what the hell was going on but you were enjoying it anyway with all the weir shit on the screen.
Why are you always getting these weird games?
Niero: When you have access to all these games you start looking for the most unusual shit as the normal stuff doesn't hold my attention whatsoever. Careful what you wish for, right?
It's kind of like the porn thing. Same principle.
James: We're lucky. But you know we're both doomed.
Sounds like you are getting a little burnt out on video games. I don't blame you. When you have to deal with so many games, I'm sure they all tend to blend together. And it's not like you are a regular consumer who can pick and choose what you want to play. Everyone will send you everything. I know when I get two games at the same time, I can never truly enjoy either as I always feel guilty when I'm not playing the other game. There is such thing as too much of a good thing.
I say it's time for a Caribbean cruise! The fall rush is almost over and it'll be some time till the spring wave hits. I'm sure we won't cause too many fires while our robot-overlord recharges his batteries.
What a coincidence, I'm burned out on the same old regular games AND porn. Guess that means I need to find some Bobobo-bo-bobobo porn two kill two birds with one really weird f'ing stone.
Amazing.. I just wonder if he'll get around to showing you the bangbus.
Does the bangbus make loud noises being nearby?
If you ever tour it, hopefully it will have a fresh smell.. At least a certain level of freshness like the industrial-strength cleaner adult book/movie stores use for its cleaning products instead of an incredibly weak car air freshener scent.
Awesome blog. It's funny/melancholic how someone spends their lives getting into cool stuff just to see it become mundane, yet no one ever goes "I'm this giant rockstar made of sex, but all I want is crunch numbers down in accounting".
i would love to see one of these guys wearing the DTOID helmet during a shoot.
pick up girl in costume, then bang her in the bus with the mask still on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Anyhow, this was a pretty cool story bro.
And the name "Bangbus" still makes me chuckle.
Just ah wondering that's all -slowly rubs body-
Except a good one, of course.

Thank you Niero. Thank you.
I NEED TO MAKE A TRIP TO MIAMI!!
Great post, as usual.
And by that logic, I'm a bit scared of his neighbor's porn collection.
"James: Yeah, everyone there is just like "it's just porn, whatever". I guess I'll get used to it."
Probably the saddest sentence I've ever read.

Oh and I now want to live wherever you do one day. You've officially made Seasame Street the second best place ever in my heart.
Sigh, amazing how much random music I can upload to my iPod...
