I jumped from site to site, scowering the news that was useful to know, joining a handful of obsure sites that offered tidbits of the old surfergirl insider news/rumors. I had not been to d-toid just yet. Then one day on the ps-blog i got linked to destructiod by an interview or something (i can't remember), i liked the layout, articles poured in every hour, every time i came back there something new to read. I had not joined by that time, i wasn't intrigued enough to join just yet.......
Then i read about a metal gear discusssion that was appearently in a podcast. So i downloaded it to hear this token cunt yeller speak in a Solid Snake gruffed voice (a hind d? Whats a hind d doing at a millitary installation?) I laughed harder then Obama did after McCain choose Sarah Palin as his VP. The rest of the podcast was equaly as funny and the funnyman himself was none other than Jim Sterling (my hero). I had to join now, it had left that much of an impression on me. My arm had been twisted.
So, that was my catalyst to join this great website known as destructioid. I could not have made a better choice and now because of that choice i have psn japanesse ps1 games that i received from some really good people, those same people love to play poker and other games together and get drunk while doing it. I couldn't be happier. This little website has some incredible people that share the same if not more passion for games that i have. I wuv you guys and gals.
My first several blogs were horrilble and failed on every aspect, i only had the ps3 browser to write them and they were really short, a few were decent but most weren't. I think i've learned alot from those experiences. One thing that i won't change though is my horrible header, a reminder of where and how i came up on this site. I think my blogs have gotten a bit better but nothing to jizz about. Now i choose very carefully what to blog about and think about it for several days before even writting it. That is my story of d-toid evolution.
What i have to ask from you is: what was your catalyst for joining? Was is a podtoid like me or the c-blogging awesome rocking community or perhaps a friend who kept twisting your arm to join or something else? It had to be something, tell me about it in the comments, i would love to hear about it.

I joined because I was bored in computer class, looking up gaming news and I came across dtoid. I came back everyday just to see what was up. I did'nt discover the comunity until awhile later, but I really enjoy it here.
i wuv you mr.sadistic.
My friend recommended the site to me because the he said they had the best/most honest game reviews. Soon afterwards, I realized pretty much all aspects of the site are amazing.
I dunno, it was only recently (around a month from this post) that I joined, and...there was some article I wanted to post on, thus I joined. Whoo me.
Welcome aboard.
FORUMS!! -->
Ahaha I'm just joking :p. I can't actually remember how I came here but I'm pretty sure it was through links at GoNintendo. I remember RMC linking to a couple Nintendo-bashing articles by Summa, which was probably my first exposure to the site. After a while, I shifted from that site over to here and now I struggle to even close the browser.
Damn Destructoid for being so awesome!!
There is a forum thread for this...
sorry Notazombie but i just don't do the forums. that's just the way i do.
the only other site that i still is ps3hax.net(now a combination of 360 and ps3 shit) because of the expert linux threads and all homebrew news (remember java homebrew?). that site is kickass!
I just kinda...well...CAME to Destructoid.
Your blogs have gotten consistently better an better Q-ball. I'm a fan. Especially your "My review of your review" one.
Also you should check out the forums. I'm telling you, the forums kick ass and you would be surprised how many more people actually engage in the topics at hand than they do in the cblogs.
For example: This one would be a GREAT post for the forums and I would wager, would have more attention/and or participation than here.
As for what drove me to Dtoid? Its all very sordid and hush hush. Look for the book in the future. :)
i wanted to fuck yoj1mbo.
i was so disappointed. :(
zserv, you don't fuck yojimbo, yojimbo fucks you. lol bioshock. and more encouragement from the wise som-rye himself!

For me, it was originally VonRichter's development blog for the Metroid: SR388 fan project.
I joined because I heard the /d was the new /b.
