I made some Destructoid mosaics (shortblog/jpgclusterf$%@)
TheToiletDuck \| 11:25 AM on 04.21.2009	30 comments

Sometimes you wake up with an overwhelming desire to express your love for the good ship Destructoid and her crew. Today was one of those days for me. So after spending the day at work wondering how i could express my love i had this idea. Here are some mosaics made up from the avatars of the top 1000 posters.

Some came out pretty good, others not so much, but i might as well post all of them. There are big versions in the gallery below.

For those interested, i pulled the images from Internet Explorers cache (after viewing the leaderboard), femputed them into jpgs (sorry those with animated gifs), manputed them into AndreaMosaic, a free mosaic program, and got most of the template images from here.

Takes all of a minute to make each one.

Maybe this is more of a forum thing, if enough people think so i'll remove this and repost it in the forums.

Democracy, not just for losers.

Fun game for new players, can anyone find Y0jimbos avatar?

Nice work, buddy!

Damn, it took me a while to find myself. Too many people with yellow in their avatars. For some reason, I found Technophile's avatar like 10 times.

I've got a feeling it didn't add everyone to the pictures. I'm going to try them all again later. Standby for Version 2 in a few days.

All in all...

about me
Wall of text deleted Woo I'm 27, NZ expat living in Scotland and I've got a raging clue for video games. I'm a scientist by trade (peddling science from town to town), and have spent the last two years working on fungi (fun fact: the ones mixed with chocolate in Amsterdam are the best). It was a wicked job and i got to listen to a lot of podcasts while working. Which was handy for keeping up on video game news. Now, i study Malaria and still listen to lots of podcasts as a means to take my mind off all the rodent lives I've taken (yes, i also cackle and have no less than 3 disabled servants). I've always been a big console gamer growing up (the C64 was a console right? ahh what do you know..), have owned most of the past consoles that were available in New Zealand, and own all the current gen systems. Disposable Income? hell yeah! Games I'm currently playing: Batman Arkham Asylum (ps3) Resident Evil 4 (ps3) inFAMOUS (Ps3) Team Fortress 2 (PC) Worms 2 (XBLA) Must Eat Birds (iphone) Street Fighter IV (360) Games I've recently completed: Red Faction Guerrilla (Ps3) Prince of Persia (360) Mirrors Edge (360) Lego Star Wars Backlog: Half Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2 Dead Space (1/2 way through) Fallout 3 Bioshock (on Hard, finished on normal) The Simpsons (360) Games i've recently tried and haven't enjoyed: Prototype Saints Row 2 Killzone 2 Soul Calibur 4 Lego Indiana Jones Games i absolutely love: Team Fortress 2 Katamari Damacy Xenogears Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Giana Sisters (c64) Final Fantasy IX (psx) Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis) Day of the Tentacle Monkey Island series Legacy of Kain series Soul Calibur 2 Street Fighter 3 : IIIrd Strike Rival Schools (aka Project Justice) Raiden Fighters II First game i remember playing Frogger Some Destructoid Mosaics i made using avatars and wallpapers.
