You know, that is a good question.
I figured it was about time to start my foray into the world of "PROFESSIONAL GAME BLOGGING~!". I have other places to vent on other subjects, but this blog will be about games, gaming, trends, tidbits, and anything else related to my favorite thing to do in this life, VIDEO GAMING. You might get some news and gossip from the world of heavy metal, or how Tito Kube's Bleach actually matters to the topic, but for the most part it will be for video gaming, with a twist of verbage.
I started playing video games when I was 10. I turn 39 this year. That is a a metric F-TON of gaming, let me tell you.
So why Destructoid? Well, one, I am not cool enough to have my profile promoted on Kotaku (been about A YEAR now!), and since I am also an also-ran in the eyes of Cliff Bleszinski, I figured that makes things actually BETTER here.
Two, Destructoid is one of the few places that has given GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE gamers like myself a fair shake. These guys and Bluesnews have been nothing but supportive of my effects in that regard (unlike some other "PC Gaming Centric Blogs" *COUGH Dig Bownload COUGH*), and for that reason, I am grateful for their understanding of my near zealitous belief in the concept. They have also credited me properly on tip submissions, and I can not say that about some other places...
But enough about my wants and desires; wait, this is my blogspace, so screw it, this is totally about what I want. :p
Seriously, I figure if what I like in gaming is to continue on, naysayers be damned, then I have to meet the audience halfway. I am not a "WEB-brity", nor DO I WANT TO BE ONE. I just want to have my say in things about that video gaming that interests me. If any of it makes you think even for the slighest moment, then it has already paid off for me. Also, Ashley - what, you thought I was going to say "cocks"? I DO NOT THINK SO!
And for my first post, I must subject myself to a Destructoid original trial of manhood - the MS Paint Picture edit.
Therefore, I present to you, my first post here on Destructoid, the REAL reason for Beyond Good And Evil 2 being put "on hold". See my picture for the whole sickening truth, and pray your soul can take emotinal impact it will leave upon you.
I have some ideas for writeups here, and maybe they just might be enough to keep you interested. Let's find out together.

Good to have you here, welcome to Destructoid. You should probably get an avatar so Topher doesn't murder you.
folks, here are the properties of my avatar.

I keep getting this message whenever I try to send it:

Any ideas?
Welcome to Dtoid! I too am fairly new, but the community and people here here really incredibly fun! Happy blogging!
Welcome to the good ol' Toid, hope your stay is a permanent one, that you have a great time on this site, blog often, even if I do not! We have one of the best communities on the net, so you'll feel like it's home in no time.
As the legendary Mankind said, have a great day! :)
This profile page will NOT take my jpg, which is CONFIRMED to be within the limits. The page will NOT take my PSN ID (or the placeholder, which is "Yes"). The column over to my right will not turn green, even though my color code is in there. Nothing saves!
This is why I hate netcode. It used to be you could just easily type some text, insert a picture, and off you go. I HATE THIS NET 2.0 CRAP.
I just do not want to hear "GET AN AVATAR" again. I have an avatar, I have tried to upload multiple times. My IE8 is updated, everything else works the way it should. But this profile setup page will not take my data.
Because I am starting to think this is not my issue...
