No, not really. I just wrote that so people would come troll me, only to find a list of personal thanx to the whole Destructoid community. Techincally I'm kissing ass because I swallowed 5 ecstasy pills and I'm about to fuck all over myself, but I thought typing this up would be less messy. This isn't about me, and even though this is my personal thank you message, the entire community loves what you guys do for us, and I'm sure you feel the same way.

Editors and members will both be mentioned in this blog.

This could take a while.

(NOTE : This was inspired by the youtube video that Destructoid made, honoring it's community. You guys deserve something back. Huh.. money? lol go get a real job.)


Editors! : Listen, I've seen alot of editors come and go, and I know I might miss some of you. It's not that I hold any personal or previous grudge against you, it's just that I may forget as I tend to be get retarded before 5pm. You're all very smart, for the most part, and can conjour a sentence intresting enough to distract me from porn for a good chunk of my life. Thank you.

**THESE ARE IN NO PETICULAR ORDER**

(actually I tried to keep it alphebetical, so excuse my mess)

Niero, first and foremost : Thank you for giving us Destructoid, and the amount of graditude cannot simply be put into words. You've achieved so much in the past couple of years, and your site's legacy will live on as the greatest gaming blog of our time.

Ron : Fuck you give me back Halo 2. Thanks for the hook-up, but my butt is still sore from the cockass.



Aaron Linde : Your articles for Bargin Bin Laden's and hilarious write up's continue to inform and amuse me. You play a mean game of Bomberman and this site doesn't see enough of your wit. Now will you teach me to grow a beard on command???

Analog Pidgeon : You're Nintendo based articles will be missed. Where did you goes?

Dyson : Retroforce GO! has been a very nostalgic, and it's a clever way to waste my time on podcasts. I look forward to downloading the next one when I get home from work. Keep up the good work.

Reverend Anthony : Rev.. wow. Exactly just that.. I cannot even grasp the epicness of every post, and even those with a PHD in grammar and literature bow to your lengthy, in depth, and awesome articles. You do this site great justice, even if you do look like the president of Iran. Let's just keep the infamous 4/10 Zelda review out of this, hmm?

Chad 'Kokomo' Concelmo : Still recovering from your hazing, kokomo? We kid.. even though half of your articles will include dolphins in some form or another, and I've never even heard half of your games that you've played on the Memory Card articles, I still respect your talent as a journalist.

Colette Bennett : The hotness of Destructoid, your avatar still makes me cream my pants from time to time. Your love of all things Nintendo is unchallenged, and your posts will always hold a special place. *tear*

David Houghton : The lesser known brit from our robot posse, who will cover anything from as conversational as the manhunt ban, to our very own personal guide to Recognizing Gamers. Please continue to play a large part of our community, because we always look forward to the next chapter.

Faith : Our Canadian mother from another ... mother.. how clever you are in your stylish magnets and fresh articles. Glad to see you're still on board as one of our beloved female writers.

Gameboi : I still remember when you were one of us, a community member, till you landed your sweet job as an editor. You've come along way from your MySpace blogs my friend, and I hope it only gets better for you.

Grim : Long time buddy, unknown XBOX rival. I've been trying to beat your gamerscore for months, but I will always seemingly be at least a couple hundred points behind you. You bastard.

Hasma CTZ Aziz : Artist, editor, habitual alcoholic. Sorry I couldn't make it to Miami to drink with the best of them, and I will always love our short one sentence conversations about art.

Jim "Who the fuck" Sterling : You, my friend, are a god amongst men. Your top hat proves it! You've been an excellent adition to Podtoid, and you're articles, everything from foreign game politics, to old ladies playing Overlord, never lose their charm. You continue to speak your mind, which makes your opinion all the more respectful, and I cannot help but to think what Destructoid would've been like without your charisma.

Mike Ferry? You mean that blind guy Savant? : Get the fuck off XBL and write up some fucking win.

Nex : Your commitment to podtoid doesn't go unoticed, with your over the top antics and comments, I'm suprised no one has supenoed (I suck at grammar, stop reminding me) you yet. I will always hold you in high regards because of your opinions and intellectual thought of gaming. Even though you're the sickest member of Destructoid, you are also the most alive and active in the community, IMO.

Orcist : Always giving it up for the underdog, always there to bring order to chaos when the c-blogs are in a joystiq-like fit, and long time editor and friend of Destructoid. We heart you.

.tiff : Buttsecks, please Ms. Chow??

Fronz : College student, artist, editor, and all around super cool number one fun nice guy. I hope that project is going well, and your Monday Teasers are always a headache at 8am, but then gradually make me appreciate my knowledge in gaming, so thank you for that.

PS. - fronz please do a Game Debate to Death, community edition with either editors or community members. I would love to see a pretend showdown of our robot overlords.

Topher : For the love of all that is plushies! Your art is amazing and without it Destructoid might not have alot of the epic content it shares with the internet. Thank you.

William Haley : You get no thanks from me. I should've gone to PAX. Ok I lieded.. I thought the contest was a success (even with all the spam) and even though you're fairly new to the site, your absence would be noticed and missed greatly. Keep it up.

Nick 'Brutal' Chester : Guitar Hero entrapenuer, family man, and a great guy all around. You've been around for a while, and I appreciate your years of commitment.

Dick McVengence : Japanophile! (PS. You rock. Very detailed, no?)


END EDITORS

Holy fuck balls that was a long list. You know what's even longer? Ron's cock. I digress, I need to get on to the heart of Destructoid, the community.

Again.. I couldn't add everyone. My brain cannot simply grasp the amount of awesome this community has to offer.

SPECIAL THANKS!!! woooohooo.. finally!

People have been known to be nice, considerate, helpful, even thoughtful. These people have gone the extra mile to make people, including myself, smile. If there is anyone that would like to give a special thanks in the comments below, please do so.

namelessTed : When we first met on Destructoid, we engaged in a metrosexual flame war above something so irrevevant, I can't even remember. Now you're a great guy to talk to.. about as great as it gets talking to someone wearing a reindeer mask.. but still. I finally got your t-shirt, and thank you so much. I will wear it to my grave.

Ron Workman : Introducing me to Destructoid, first, and whether it was hanging out at the bar, or having buttsecks at your house, it was all good times from there on in.

Unstoppablejuggernaut : I will admit, I extremly dislike you, but if it wasn't for your c-blog, calling me out for being an asshole, I would've never have done this. If I died tomorrow, I wouldn't want to be known as that guy. I would rather not be known at all than be that guy, and hopefully as time passes, you won't be that guy. That 'vegan' guy.

Jessica Chobot : Umm.. thanks for existing. *fap*

GuitarAtomik : I only suggested you were emo because of your appearance, then we had a couple drinks together with our women. You beat Carry Me Home on hard mode for me, and your a great guy all around, so here's to many more nights of drinking and Guitar Hero. Cheers.

SLiFE : I.. detest, Viva Pinata. I bought it for my woman, and she was becoming frustrated. Then you sent her 100,000 coins, and she now is a master of gardening. The big picture : You got her something I could never do, fall in love with my XBOX 360. If it wasn't for you, I really don't know where our relashionship would be (as far as gaming goes. We have a perfect relashionship otherwise) and I sincerly can't thank you enough for that.

C-blog Mafia : DVD Design, bhive01, Tazarthayoot, DJ Duffy, Bahamut_Zero, -D-, BlindsideDork.



DVD Design : Your humor always brightens up our days, and my time here at work, and Destructoid, would've been alot less entertaining if you weren't around. Thanks for the movies man.

bhive01 : You have a lovely wife, you surround yourself with smart people, and your tastes in lager isn't that bad either. You've been around for quite some time, and after finally meeting you, I can say you're an awesome dude and have a great personallity.

BlindsideDork : When we first met, I gave you so much shit. SO. MUCH. SHIT. I would even tend to follow you to other blogs and trash your name. Now I'm going to see you in Virginia for MAGfest, and we may even be sleeping in the same room (if all goes well.. RAWR.), so kudos to you for being a good sport, and for banning us together for a good cause : MAGfest.

DJ Duffy : You're vagina is appreciated, we wouldn't want a repeat of the last sausage party. Thanks for being apart of the team.

-D- : You know you're awesome already, I know, but I must publicly address it now. You always have the right thing to say, and make the e-mailer much more bearable to read. Thanks for hanging out with us, as we can take the toll when it comes to insanity and the brain.

Bahamut_Zero : As long as I can remember you've been around, and it's always a pleasure to hang out with you. From getting high or drunk over XBL, to pointing out other peoples misfortunes on Destructoid, it's been a blast. We will miss you while you're gone.

Tazar the yoot : Honestly, I believe we were seperated at birth, and I can't wait to hang out with you at MAGfest. You're sense of humor is unmatched, and though your history may be dark and full of EMO, you've always had the right aditude to crunch through life. It is a serious inspiration to me, seriously cereal. As a fellow Gorillaz fan I wish you the best, and the 1800 MS points, Star Wars Lego's 2, and the DMX CD helped. lol Thanks for the presents, I'll be sure to return the favor.

CBM 4 LYFE... or you know.. till Destructoid gets tired of clog spam.



Well.. that's it. Thanks Destructoid, never sell out, never be serious.

^ I didn't have anything good to say here, I'm really pooped. I've been writing this for hours, and if I added pictures.. which now I think I should've done.. it would've taken me days. I'm at work too.. well.. for the next 20 minutes. So I will catch your replies (if any) tomorrow.

You kids play nice.



EDIT : It has come to my attention that WiiSucks should have gotten special recogniztion.

WiiSucks : Thank you. Thank you for showing people how to not act. Thank you for being a total prick all over our site, posting pictures of your 1 inch penis, gracing us with your terrible grammar and literature, taking up storage with your multiple (WiiSucks, Distrato, RationalSide, and whatever else you created, God knows..) accounts, for being a habitual troll, for giving Destructoid, and gaming blogs all around a terrible atmosphere and name. If you ever come back, please learn self control, and maybe you won't make another bad name for yourself.

PS. - I'm not dying, unless Destructoid is a cancer, then yes, I am infected.


**EDIT : 8/16/07**

To Leigh Alexandra, Florian Eckhardt, and Kayka : I can't believe you got left out. I'm really sorry, and I should've put more thought into it. How can I possibly forget Destructoid's newest family members? Your written talent is littered all over the interwebs, and now we are finally graced with your humor and gaming expertice, and I am very thankful, as well as the rest of the community, for showing such an awesome devotion at such a short span of time. You guys will do great things, and I hope we're here to experince the majority of it.

Kanya : I know you're not new, but I don't think I've ever held a conversation with you, much less seen you post around. The articles I do run into that you've written up have defenitely been relevant to my intrests, and I hope you will keep posting more fluently.

**EDIT : 8/17/07**

Wow you guys! Thanks for all the comments! I really didn't expect even half of you to catch this, and I'm real glad that you got the message. I just want you all to know how appreciated you are, and your internet fame will go down in internet history.

I guess warm feelings are contagious, and these are the people who we're infected over the past couple of days, and they wanted to share their appreciation as well.

ChronosBlade : I love Destructoid
kwaselow : I'm spreading the love a little bit later than everybody else but you know why I love Destructoid
electro lemon : Do you wanna know why I fucking love Destructoid? Yes more than you.
Agent Chieftan : To all "Thank You" posts
Tazarthayoot : Mmmm I luv Dtoid
Neonie : Here's My Tribute
unstoppablejuggernaut : My love letter to you, the people of Destructoid. NOW WITH $1 bills for each comment!!!
coonskin05 : Fuck Y'all, I hate Destructoid

Spread the love.
