I used to be around a lot more back before I moved to Australia and started medicine, but I still love Dtoid and I try to stop by the front page/IRC/the forums whenever I get a chance. Hell, I’m skipping school and laundering money to go to PAX just to see everyone again (One more week. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!1!!1!!). Anyways, here’s my short-list.

1- I can write c-blogs about things like how Katamari is the ultimate murder simulator and it’s actually considered a good thing.

2- Retroforce GO! Is awesome and is actually how I first found Destructoid. I’m still listening and have managed to catch up just in time for the 100th episode. Unfortunately the “we’re recording” post goes up at a time for me that’s total ass, so I never get to comment or ask questions anymore :(

3- The never ending supply of art, articles and awesome that the community at large puts out. There’s a ridiculous amount of free entertainment to be had if you have a few minutes to look through the c-blogs both past and present.

4- The various articles and discussions about videogames that look at some of the more interesting facets of both games and the industry in ways that I would never have myself.

5-


6- All of the incredible people that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know through the site, whether it’s just in the comments, in IRC, on the forums or in real life. Not only have I made some great contacts and had some cool opportunities, but when I was traveling everyone that I met was super accommodating and helped me find places to stay and things to do. I can’t thank everyone enough for all of that.

I would list all the people that I love that I’ve met through Dtoid, but it would be like 1000 names long and I’d probably leave someone out ;)

7- PAX. Last year was great. This year will be even better. SEPTEMBER 1ST NEEDS TO COME SOONER!
