Deities and introductions
Semantic Poetry | 10:46 AM on 11.21.2007 21 comments


So, at the behest of a gaming deity, I present to you the obligatory introductory blog post. As the profile failed to really say, I'm Bill, 24, from the UK, and the reason I discovered Destructoid was through a chance encounter with atheistium as she was on her way to PAX this summer. Rather, I should elaborate. I worked for a fairly well known bookstore (no, not that one), she bought a book (Halo novel, if I recall), I squeed about the impending release of Halo 3, she gave me the address for the site, and the rest, as many people say, is written by the victor.

So, that being the "how I met your gaming site" bit, onto my personal quirks. I own a 360, but feel the PS3 could be amazing, provided the games are available, I think the Wii needs someone to kick the collective arses of party-game developers already, and I'm a sucker for a well-written story.

Oh, and I have a weird habit where my brain sometimes feels compelled to follow things through to a natural (in my mind) if illogical conclusion.

So, there you have it. Me, in a not entirely informative way.

Hello! Welcome. Don't suck and we'll all get along with cherries and cake (note: cake is a lie).

NO COWZILLA. You are supposed to wait a while before telling them that the sweet delicious cake is a complete farce

I'VE RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!

What is this cake that everyone speaks about?
Welcome to the party, sir. If you haven't already, take off your shoes and sit by the fire while I fetch you some buttered pastries.

Also, check out the forums sometime. They like you just as much as I think you like me (thanks).

Well, now that Cowzilla has fucked everything all to hell we might as well unmask the entire fiasco. We're actually just a recruiting tool for Al Queda.

Not the terrorists! No no no. That'd be silly. Just Al from the kebab shop round the corner. If you're ever looking for work, off the books, call him.

Welcome.

Welcome aboard, SP. May your somewhat verbose wordplay be your signature of over-achievement.

Cowzilla's just messing with you. The cake is great, so delicious and moist.

Welcome to Destructoid, I hear the cake is excellent.

@Savant

I actually massively underachieved, so I'm overcompensating.

@Colette

Thank you! It's literally something I made up about 18 months ago when I signed up for Gmail.

And the cake is not a lie, it's just...not there

@SP

Quite.

You're looking at a bona fide university drop out.

It's odd how proud I sound about that...
Savant's Destructoid Blog
And you're looking at a community college success.

It's odd how ashamed I sound about that...

But in all seriousness, welcome aboard. S'all about cake, pies, and games here. Minus the cake. I hear it is a lie.

@Savant

Thank you! And I guess I'll just have to console myself with the Portal song instead.

How the hell did I double post in my own blog?!
Snaileb 's Destructoid Blog
Internet magic.
Semantic Poetry's Destructoid Blog
Damn the internet!
itemforty's Destructoid Blog
Indeed. Quick, everyone back to the carrier pigeons!
Semantic Poetry's Destructoid Blog
We can't! Someone has stolen them for nefarious purposes!
