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!

Would You Like A Destructoid Card?
The GHost | 1:48 PM on 05.15.2008 80 comments


Those of you cool enough to visit the forums will have noticed that recently I made a couple of Destructoid cards. Now most of you old-school Dtoiders likely already have a card, but since I had so much fun doing these things -and because I'm unemployed for another month- I've decided to offer my services to any interested community members.

How it works:

1) Either goto this thread and make a request, or drop a comment saying that you want one in this c-blog.

2) Our expert card artisans will rigorously research your past to create a customized card that fits your personality using our patented Search FunctionTM and PhotoshopTM technology to ensure accuracy.

3) Your hand crafted card will then be posted on the Destructoid card thread in the forum and sent to you via PM.

4) !!!!

5) Go bankrupt.

Here are some samples of the kind of high quality work that can only be achieved by using small children working for pennies a day in a dangerous factory in China.







Note: I'm certainly not of the mind that I'm the ONLY one out there capable of doing this. If you post a request, I'll do it unless someone else calls dibs, in which case I'll defer to his/her likely superior shooping skills. Also feel free to say if there's anything you would like to appear on the card, giving source images you want used would also be much appreciated.

Random quote... EXECUTE!

“The conventional wisdom in that industry is that kids would rather play video games than collect baseball cards.”

~Jim Barrett

It should say "lusting" on it somewhere as I was accurately accused of that in one of the forums (probably the pictures threa)

Dear sir:

I would also like one of your fine wares should you find the time. I have been playing the race and gender cards so often that they are plum worn out and I have no cards.

I'm of legal age, and therefore generally get upset when I'm carded, but this time I will make an exception.

Of course I would like one. Who wouldn't? You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Wow, grats. You just bought yourself hours and hours of unpaid slave labor just so someone can say "ooo, thats kinda neat" then discard the image.

What we SHOULD do is print off the personalized cards with a uniform reverse (or a semi-uniform reverse with the person's avatar and name), print them off, laminate them and sell them for $5.

I'd buy one, just to be a card-carrying dtoid member. Use them as NARP door passes or something. It could be amazing.

With that said, you have more work above than I could possibly imagine ever undertaking (and with some of the nobodies that responded you have serious imagination skills to flex), so I won't add to your list. Until I can pay.

@Quisling

I'm under no obligation to do any of this. I've only given myself as much work as I'm willing to do. I also don't mind getting creative with some of the lesser known members that have made requests, just means that I get to do some crazy stuff :D

As for charging for laminated cards; I certainly don't have the ability to do this, and don't particularly have the desire to figure out all of the logistics.

I'll stick to just shooping for now ;)
