I came to this site in August of 2006. Just 6 months after it was created. It's been great to see such an awesome site grow and change over the years. I hope that this site remains just as awesome for years to come and eventually takes over the internet. My dream is that in the future, I won't log onto the internet. I'll log onto the intertoid. I won't visit websites to get my news, I'll visit toidsites. I think with Niero at the helm that future is a reality. Happy birthday Destructoid. And happy birthday, Niero!
Congrats to Cutie Honey for turning 21! As a celebration, members of Pacific Dick will be taking our Asian friend to Ground Kontrol to get drunk and play Rock Band. Videos to follow hopefully. Join me in wishing Cutie Honey a happy 21st.
Bungie today released a teaser for one of their projects. The video showed New Mombasa being hit by tons of Covenant drop pods. The camers flickers and and the text, "Halo 3, Prepare to drop," appears. Perhaps a Halo 3 expansion? Only Bungie knows.....
Edit: Upon more in depth viewing an discussion in IRC it appears as though this game may be and alternate campaign from Halo 3. Perhaps one where you play as ODST. If you study the video carefully you can see that this could be the scene in Halo 2 where the Covenant ship makes a jump while inside the city. During which ODST pods are being dropped, not Covenant.
The new update for Halo 3 is finally out and with it comes 20 more achievements. While most of the achievements are basic, "kill so many people using a certain weapon", some achievements revealed new maps coming in what I can only assume will be the "Mythic Map Pack."
There are six new maps listed under certain achievement descriptions such as, "On Orbital, get 2 Death from the Grave medals during any ranked or social game." Since Orbital isn't a current map, one can only assume it will be coming soon.
The other five maps listed are Citadel, Heretic, Longshore, Sandbox and the already revealed Assembly. Bungie has yet to say anything official about the new maps besides their usual, "all will become clear in due time. Stay tuned," mumbo jumbo. Interested in finding more out about these new maps and achievements? Pop in your copy of Halo 3 and download the update!
Namco Bandai has once again released DLC for iDOLM@STER: Live 4 U on Xbox 360. For the amazing price of 1800 points, you too can own these fine accessories for your underage idol. The items --that make your favorite loli even lolier-- include a child's hat and matching smock, a bandaid, a bag, and even a bucket. That's right, now you can haz a bucket in iDOLM@STER. Only if you live in Japan though. Damn shame too because if this game was out in America, I'd be poor from all of the DLC I'd have to buy.
My life beyond Destructoid mainly consists of games. I play pretty much everything. Right now I own a Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox 360, PSP, DS Lite, NES, and a PS3. Some of my favorite games include; King of Fighters XI, Dead or Alive 4, Halo 3, Zelda, Timesplitters, SSX 3, Shadow Of The Colossus, Rock Band, and of course Metal Gear Solid is tops. I also work part time at GameStop.
Besides gaming, I'm also a writer, editor, voice actor, and the community guy of KOtic Kitten Productions. In addition to all that, I'm a prop modeller for New Era Games.
