I came to Dtiod
Prior to my settling in to Dtiod I had haunted a small number of forums and found them to be either cliquey, unwelcoming or just a bunch of cocks. I had read the site for some time and enjoyed it's more quirky, down to earth view of video games and so I lurked and eventually plucked up the courage to do a Cblog, post on the forums and even venture into the IRC. It is without a shadow of a doubt the best online community I've ever found.

I can be found most often in the forums, specifically in The Podcastle section of which the awesome Technophile made me King. If you need somethying shooping, give us a shout and I'll be more than happy to do so. :D

With the front page currently sporting that very disturbing image of what Sonic would look if he were more realistic I thought it would be a good time to display this piece of fan art I stumbled across just recently by a fellow who goes by the name tigerfrog. If you liked this then take a look at his deviantART profile. His art is mostly in this style and of either Sonic & co or TMNT.
