I miss Nex.
Toneman | 9:05 PM on 02.25.2009 38 comments


I recently went back through the Dtoid archives to reminisce and I found this little gem.



Easily the greatest overused Destructoid image of all time. Thank you, Nex.

He was our pretentious asshole.
LarkOhiya's Destructoid Blog
I completely agree. good times. good times. too bad this blog will go over too many peoples heads, but we always will have the nexy

speaking of blasts from the pasts. check out this long credit video I did. http://www.destructoid.com/blogs/LarkOhiya/lark-ohiya-s-hellgate-contest-entry-50688.phtml

ah. memories.
HydroTonix's Destructoid Blog
Why don't I get the joke?
LarkOhiya's Destructoid Blog
because you weren't here 2 years ago? not much else really.
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
I miss Nex also. :( He was actually my favorite writer at the time (not insulting the other writers, for the record). I hope he's doing well.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I miss the old jokes.
007's Destructoid Blog
Same herez. Does anyone know how his blog over at (me thinks) Wired is doing? Last time I checked, his writing was too cereal, and he didn't get too many comments.

I'm sure he's happy, though. Nex always loved his $$
LarkOhiya's Destructoid Blog
wait.... 007 don't you go to niles high school? I remember that because I work for the school now XD.

last video nex sighting of mine.

Jesus H Christ's Destructoid Blog
I think the first time I came to Destructoid Nex's goodbye article was on the front page.
Danmartigan's Destructoid Blog
I miss Nex too. And workmeng. And Tiff... bawwwwww D:
Danmartigan's Destructoid Blog
Also bandanas + pipes > bowties
CelicaCrazed's Destructoid Blog
So...no Summa love, eh?? I'm sure somewhere out there right now, he is looking at himself in a mirror in total satisfaction.

I think I arrived around the time just before Nex left. I remembered I cared enough to follow him to Wired for a bit but since he covered MMOs, my attention couldn't be held....
bleep's Destructoid Blog
Here HERE

but I agree he was magical while it lasted, but, and you may have heard this, the only constant in the universe is change itself. Oh and if you love something set it free. If he had stayed here he wouldn't be making the big bucks, and you wouldn't want that right?
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
So classic
Shin Oni's Destructoid Blog
it's sad. I didn't get my account up and running until weeks after Nex's move.

though his avatar pic of himself was too badass for his own good. Nex appearance nao.
007's Destructoid Blog
@Lark
...Lol what? I go to some high school in Indiana, man.
the GAMEGOBLIN's Destructoid Blog
Psh, semantics
Vigor's Destructoid Blog
I miss Robert Summa.
Gameboi's Destructoid Blog
This blog wins, but has a disturbing lack of the words "Also Gameboi" mentioned anywhere in the comments. I'd cry, but it would rust my helmet, and ruin the sith code.
falinter's Destructoid Blog
I remember that lovable bastard.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
<3 Nex
MissHinasaki's Destructoid Blog
I miss Nex. *sobs* He was my first favorite!
HarassmentPanda's Destructoid Blog
Oh, Nex. He was truly one of the greats. I hope he's enjoying his speedboat.
IceMax's Destructoid Blog
Nex let me interview him for an assignment for a broadcasting class, he was that awesome.
MechaMonkey's Destructoid Blog
I declare a resurgence in the Hirohito meme in memorium.
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
I actually hung out with Nex last night at Ground Kontrol. He seems to be doing just fine. If you want to see his more Nex-ish style writing, check out his post on the Portland Mercury site.

Necros's Destructoid Blog
I have always missed Nex, and will continue to. Nexcros for lyfe.
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
I miss Leigh as well.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
I miss the old times. :(
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Oh man, classic image. Goodspeed, nexypoo.
Arugala9's Destructoid Blog
I miss Nex too.
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog
I do miss my double shot of Churchill every week.
Usedtabe's Destructoid Blog
I miss all the old crew. Workman, Linde, Nex, and even Summa.
LarkOhiya's Destructoid Blog
@007 ah. just remebered it was somewhere round here from all that mich narp business. couldn't remember if it was niles or just a city near it.
Justin Villasenor's Destructoid Blog
This just reminded me of an old header pic I made shortly after Nex left.



Good times.
Dark Mark's Destructoid Blog
R.I.P. Nex.

I don't miss Summa at all. Who needs a jerk with an ego like that?

I actually stopped visiting Dtoid in early 2007 because Summa turned me off so much.

I wish I knew the details surrounding his resignation (firing) from Destructoid. I have heard quite a few tongue-in-cheek jokes about it, but I don't know what's true or not.
brimtastic's Destructoid Blog
Ah good ol' Nex. Where exactly did he end up?
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Nex was cool and all, but I missed cats in bowties even more.

 about me

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.
