Teh Nieros and Lackner site-breaking party becomes ModernMethod
Niero | 12:03 PM on 10.09.2007 54 comments




Same guys, new name.

Time for some serious business announcements! Its no secret that Destructoid has been growing and doing well, which has allowed me to resign from my web consulting gig and look to opening a full-time office running Destructoid next year. We're also looking to open our first serious office somewhere in California to work closer with gaming companies. I'm pretty psyched about it. Living the dream!

In doing so we've created a new company that explains everything we're doing here -- the software that runs the site and the other sites we've been working on like Japanator. I ran a web design company prior to starting Destructoid, so we're keeping the same name. We are now called ModernMethod.

Just wanted to give you a head's up since the logo will be popping up at the bottom of the page. We didn't get bought out, it's still the same guys you know that occasionally break stuff ;)

Congratulations Niero! Can I be the official Chief of Nothing™ at the office? In fact, since I am lord and domain over Nothing™, I don't even get a desk or a chair!

Not even a salary!

@snaileb: WHO TOLD YOU ASIANS SAW IN HI-DEF? Everyone knows you have to flip the switch at the base of their necks before they can see Hi-Def, they don't come from the factory with that option enabled, unless they were born in the last 5 years.

that is all.

 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.
