Welcome to my wankfest! Consider this a fair warning: this post is all about how Dtoid has influenced me in the last year and my Dtoid related traveling. It includes the extreme overuse of the following words:
Amazing
Awesome
Incredible
Unbelievable
Sternocleidomastoid
Well, maybe not so much the last one. But you get the idea.
Originally this post was pages upon pages of text. It got to the point where I’m pretty sure that even Hideo Kojima could have been more concise. So in the interest of not making you read for an hour, I’ve decided to do an audio-blog for most of the content.
10 Minutes of your life that you will never get back.
Hopefully you are either downloading that right now, or are enjoying it as we speak. Or not enjoying it. Whatever, it’s my anniversary and I’ll do what I want :) Regardless, here are some things that I missed on that recording...
- Technophile, Dexter and lvl99Ron were at the Kyle/Momma Donna party too!
- I made a complete ass of myself by dancing during the LA karaoke night!
- Lips is the gayest game ever!
- Husky Hog is also fucking awesome and is the secretary of good ideas for team awesome!
- That multiplayer pac-man game at Dysons with everyone was bad-ass
- Dyson and I could not beat Ridley in Super Metroid for some reason :(
I won’t attempt to recall ever thing that I did and didn’t mention in the audio portion and put it on here. Suffice to say there were many parties and lots of good times were had during my Dtoid related travels. Enough reading and listening to me blather on and on. Let’s look at some pictures chronicling my journey back from Africa and into Australia!
WARNING: I’ve posted many of these pictures in various places already and you will probably hate looking at me (and by extension you will of course hate me) by the time you've seen them all.
First: here’s a great picture of Aerox doing his favourite thing in the whole world
Myself and Suff0cat dancing. Soon after this I head out to the dance floor... alone. I’m super cool.
Everyone wants a piece of Chad!
I honestly don’t remember getting on stage. I was reeeeeeaaaally drunk.
Party at Kyle Gamgee and Momma Donnas place. Chad faces for everyone!
Alex shows up and I tell Kyle that either the Mexican goes or I go.
Despite my threat, we both stay. But I AM UNAMUSED.
I CONTINUE TO BE UNAMUSED, EVEN WITH TACTIX STANDING RIGHT OVER ME.
Staying with Naia and Zero Atma. Plushies and slime hats FTW!
ZOOM! Off to San Francisco to see the bridge with Ben Perlee! (Topgear Gorilla)
Me being a tourist.
The OFFICIAL team awesome trophy!
Blurry shots at Dysons place! Husky and I look fucking retarded in the first one.
Dyson jerks off a nutcracker!
CTZ sees Gutless wonder with his pants down. Starts salivating!
Sushi time group shot!
Arcade night with Dysons friends!
IRC asks for a picture. Ben, Dyson and I deliver!
The last thing I do before leaving North America? Hug DJ Duffy.
Now I’m in Australia with Liz, her boyfriend and their friends!
Hoo boy. I’ll bet you’re sick of me after all this, aren’t ya? Well fortunately for you I’m all done. I also pledge not to post another photo of myself on Destructoid for at least a few months because these last few days I've been uploading like crazy :P
Thanks again everyone (espcially you Niero!) and remember to stay classy Destructoid :)
And give you a hug.
Alright, alright. I need to go to New York. I'll get Aerox to fly me there.
Also... you were hanging out with a man (if you will call him that) that hates Super Mario Bros. video games. *cough*topgeargorilla*cough*
Also again... I thought you had been here longer than I had, weird. You are just one active dude I guess. =)
Fuck can't wait till PAX.
IS THE BEST
OMG IT'S THE GHOST
You are rad man. I want you to come back to LA some day.
There are, almost, three bands named “The ghost”:
1- Popular during Britain’s Folk Revival of the 1960s, Shirley Collins is pretty much unknown outside of the United Kingdom. Her otherworldly voice soars like the fabled sirens when she’s singing runic inflections over traditional British folk. Collins also dipped deep into Renaissance-inspired music and British Folk Rock. If you can imagine the ghost of the late, great Sandy Denny singing warmly to you when you’re under your sheets on a cold night — that’s kind of what Shirley Collins sounds like. ( http://spain.real.com/music/artist/Shirley_Collins/ )
2- The Ghost are a postpunk/emo band hailing from Chicago, whose heartfelt and passionate songs have guaranteed them a cult following if not mainstream success. 2002’s This Is A Hospital was followed in 2004 by This Pen Is A Weapon, and the band have toured with scene luminaries Hey Mercedes, Rise Against and Sparta.
3- The Ghost play a mix of electro-pop and indie rock, and are from the Faroese scene, but sing in English. The members are Filip Mortensen (vocals) and Urbanus Olsen. They are sparkling new!
I'm happy to have met you in person.
<3 <3
Suff0cat: Pretty sure that I was insanely un-cool until I asked that girl to come up with me :P
I can't listen to that until I get home. =(
<3 GHost anyway.
"Dyson jerks off a nutcracker" is also the greatest photo caption of all time.
I don't even want to think about how many different types of aids you must have by now.
Here's pretty much the whole thing: OMG I LUV YOU DESTRUCTOID! :DDDDDDDD <3
That's more, or less it. :)
