About Me

edit

I used to have a big long description about myself here but that was years ago. probably before you were here. Just know this, I'm awesome and I love my Destructoid. I've been with her for 4 years and I don't plan on leaving.

Also, bowtiecat.com.

Your complete guide to Destructoid

I miss Nex.
Toneman \| 9:05 PM on 02.25.2009	39 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.

vexed alex

I too miss that pretentious asshole.

:(

He was our pretentious asshole.

LarkOhiya

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

Why don't I get the joke?

LarkOhiya

because you weren't here 2 years ago? not much else really.

pedrovay2003

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.

Brian Szabelski

I miss the old jokes.

007

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

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

I think the first time I came to Destructoid Nex's goodbye article was on the front page.

Danmartigan

I miss Nex too. And workmeng. And Tiff... bawwwwww D:

Danmartigan

Also bandanas + pipes > bowties

CelicaCrazed

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

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

So classic

Shin Oni

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

@Lark
...Lol what? I go to some high school in Indiana, man.

the GAMEGOBLIN

Psh, semantics

Vigor

I miss Robert Summa.

Gameboi

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

I remember that lovable bastard.

Samit Sarkar

<3 Nex

MissHinasaki

I miss Nex. *sobs* He was my first favorite!

HarassmentPanda

Oh, Nex. He was truly one of the greats. I hope he's enjoying his speedboat.

IceMax

Nex let me interview him for an assignment for a broadcasting class, he was that awesome.

MechaMonkey

I declare a resurgence in the Hirohito meme in memorium.

Toneman

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.

Bob Muir

I have always missed Nex, and will continue to. Nexcros for lyfe.

Kyousuke Nanbu

I miss Leigh as well.

AngelsDontBurn

I miss the old times. :(

Justice

Oh man, classic image. Goodspeed, nexypoo.

Arugala9

I miss Nex too.

ArrestedDeveloper

I do miss my double shot of Churchill every week.

Usedtabe

I miss all the old crew. Workman, Linde, Nex, and even Summa.

LarkOhiya

@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

This just reminded me of an old header pic I made shortly after Nex left.

Good times.

Dark Mark

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

Ah good ol' Nex. Where exactly did he end up?

Char Aznable

Nex was cool and all, but I missed cats in bowties even more.
