About Me


For the basics, check out my forum intro thread.

Or for the lazy, here's all you really need to know about me summed up in one picture:



Now that that's done with, let's move onto the blog itself. This blog isn't going to contain any news. Like EVER. Like NEVER EVER FOREVER NEVER. I have no intention of doing anything other than posting original content (mostly just pictures that I make with my extremely limited photoshop skills along with original stories and whatnot). The bottom line is that I think that there are plenty of people doing editorial/reviewer style content already, and so instead of adding to the glut, I'll just stick to what I know:

Dicking around :D

Now enjoy... or DON'T!

My one year anniversary: I did a bunch of traveling and met a bunch of Dtoiders whilst doing so. Here's my one year anniversary/travel summary audio c-blog.

Other work: I also write for a site called Negative Gamer which was started by Wardrox. It's super cool and full of dinosaurs. RAWR!

Destructoid Cards

I've made many a card for many a Dtoider after getting the idea from a forum thread in which Atheistium posted a template and a challenge. Currently I'm a little too busy with school/work/fighting enemies of truth and justice to make more, but I'll get another batch out eventually. Here are links to all my Dtoid card posts!

Destructoid Cards: Booster Pack 12 (Last One!)
The GHost | 11:39 AM on 06.08.2008 56 comments


SO LONG, AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH EDITION

Well it's been fun kids, but as of today I'm done making Destructoid cards. Unfortunately, I don't have much time, so the notes for these cards aren't going to be my usual extended commentary, rather they'll be extremely short but (hopefully) still informative, and should be enough to understand the various abilities. Sorry guys :(

At least this pack has 10 right? :D

Note: this pack was the first one made with some outside input. Thanks to everyone that was in Stickam the other night (the night of the insane nazi admin), you made my life easier :D

Before I leave the country I'll be putting up a big wrap-up post containing links to .rar files containing all the jpegs and Photoshop files that I've made/worked with, so stay tuned for that coming in the next day or two. Now enough with the babbling...

FINISH HIM!

Booster Pack 12: Where's My Card Goddamnit! How Could You Not Make Me One?!



Cheeburga card notes:

- The Bedazzler (Thanks Rorsach!)
- Serious Dickbutt
- Emaul?: Think emo-maul.



Charlie Suh card notes:

- Charlie is Azn, thus Azn jokes are hilarious/original.
- When you get the Charlie card you MUST make up/yell out the longest most ridiculous attack name you can think of regardless of the game you are or aren't playing.
- Pillow fort: see his sidebar
- Ability icons: Yotsuba
- Official Dtoid photographer
- Tomopop contributer
- Asian RAGE!




Buck F1tches card notes:

- Fucking loves geese apparently (see portrait. Thanks Rio!)
- Big bad tipster for Dtoid. Respect yo.
- Master Rick Roller
- Master throat singer
- Master Tazar/Ron lover
- Fox blood?: A play on his blog banner. Not my best work, I know :(



Cowzilla card notes:

- Technically Cowzilla3
- Actual film critic
- Old school Dtoider
-Brave/crazy enough to show us his Wii Fit progress.
- Miseducation?
- Cowzillatoid and the first c-blog recapper



Dick McVengeance card notes:

- Editor!
- Until recently, was living in Japan
- Features editor, Nick Chesters secret wife (his sidebar)
- Second ability is referring to Nicks wife, not DMV's >< (I might not be able to get to a computer with Photoshop to fix the wording before I go)
- Gay for Bridget (Thanks someone in stickam! I think it was either Charlie or Rorsach, but I could be wrong)
-Fucking around on the c-blogs (I have no idea what happened. I just thought it was a weird/funny c-blog. Not a great reference, I know)



Gameboi card notes:

- Editor!
- Pretty much every reference is from his sidebar
- Likes pro wrestling skits
- Standup comic by DC is just a dumb play on words, it's about as bad as the Luke Skywalker/Jack Thompson joke.
- At least the Darth Gamer ability is alright, right? :D



Husky Hog card notes:

- Editor!
- New penus
- Hates Fatal1ty
- Yeah, the bottom ability icons are doing it.



Johnathan Holmes card notes:

- Editor!
- Rocketed to fame via appearing on Road Rules
- Hair is huuuuuuge in full portrait pic. Just look up the full one on IMDB
- RE:3 guide?: Read his sidebar.
- Loves Scud. God bless him.
- Hates the "hardcore gamer" moniker (did I use that right? :D)



Qais Fulton card notes:

- Editor triple threat!
- Tomopop features editor
- Destructoid editor
- Ectoplasmosis editor
- QUAILS MOTHERFUCKER!
- Q-less future?: Read the sidebar.

Last one coming up! *Drumroll*



























































Unstoppable Juggernaut card notes:

- Tomopop editor
- Dunno if he likes Queen or not, it's just the first thing that came into my head.
- Makes custom figures.
- Deadpool is fucking awesome. Amen.
- Helmet removal: You need more comic knowledge ;)

Afterthoughts

I'll keep this short as much of what I have to say will be in the big wrap-up post coming soon.

Total number of cards: 85

Goal: 100

:(

Close but not quite. Rest assured that there are many people that I would still like to make cards for, but I simply don't have the time. I also would like to apologize for some of the slap dash writing and whatnot in this booster, unfortunately I was sort of rushing to get these out.

Watch for that wrap-up post kids!

Random quote... EXECUTE!

For some reason I'm getting the mental image of Juggernaut replacing Ed in Shawn of the Dead when I think about that song...

Are we missing any major players? (I don't want to be elitist, but let's be realistic -- we need to stick to the more well-known members, or else this will be endless.) I might be willing to try to make a few extra cards. Are there any non-player cards needed, like a card for beer or a sack of oranges or something? I don't know much about card games, so I'm not sure how such things work.

I'm not committing to anything, but I love puttering around with Photoshop, so...

A fine way to bow out and 85/100 is still a first class mark so puff out that chest and feel proud while you're gallivanting around the globe!

@Everyone

I'm not gone quite yet, but thanks for all the well-wishes :D

@Sharpless

Man there's so many. Here's just off the top of my head:

- Golden Donut
- Rockvillain
- Riser Glen
- Yashoki
- Caffeine Powered
- Pedro
- Phist
- Many of the people in the comments of this post
- Eternal Death Slayer
- Banj
- Serpentish
- Ashley Davis

Yadda, yadda. The list goes on and on and on. You're right though: if you do one for EVERYONE, then you'll never finish. Just pick whichever names jump out at you. That's mostly what I did ;)

Fucking around in the cblogs was back when there was an HTML exploit and people were using it to play songs and such on the main page.

Also, I'm no longer features editor. Anthony did a much better job than me while I was away, so it's his job now.

GHost, could you please hook me up with some PSD files? There are some parts of the cards I don't think I can duplicate properly. Again, not committing to doing this, but I might give it a shot. I definitely won't be as awesome, but why not try at least.

A worthy conclusion, my friend. Always leave them wanting more. Unless "them" is your infant child, and "more" is oxygen.
