Destructoid - Niero's Community Blog




About Me
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.

Teh Nieros and Lackner site-breaking party becomes ModernMethod
Niero | 12:03 PM on 10.09.2007 57 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 ;)

Well as long as we can blame the same people for the breakings of things, I'm good.

Can I finally be your unoffical Destructoid fanboy that sleeps in the cardboard box?

Or I can hold your light fixture and stuff.

I'll be done with law school in three years. When that time comes, I expect to be put on retainer for the Destructoid mega-conglomerate.

That's like the opposite of selling out. Stick it to the man!

Also, where do I send my application for summer placement for next year?

I call assistant editor in training on the movie site. I have a dearth of knowledge about shitty movies that needs to edumacate you fools on what a real shitty movie is. The stuff you guys watch on Vent is LIGHTWEIGHT.

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.
