Why everyone should at least lurk on the DToid forums.
I Review Them In Stereo:
Joanna Newsom's Have One On Me
Two Door Cinema Club's Tourist History
Tunng's ...And Then We Saw Land
Things people say I like:
I can't fully enjoy the PS3 without an ample supply of hookers and blow. How does that figure into your Reaganomics? - MegaStryker
I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see. - Alice from Alice in Wonderland; the greatest book ever written
Best thing about those cards are how bad the pun/product writing is. "I only have Snake Eyes for you." "You've Duke'd it out with my heart and now I'm yours to command." "I have a Cobra Commander in my pants." - sheppy
"Sarah Palin is a fucking retard." - Stephen Colbert
How to read a review without being pissed off:
1. Decide prematurely whether the game is balls, or the second coming of flying spaghetti monster.
2. Go to www.metacritic.com and search for the game.
3. If flying spaghetti monster, click on first link. If balls, scroll to the end and click on the last link.
4. You should now be sitting and staring at a review you agree with.
5. Complement reviewer on such a well thought out and non biased review.

That's because WWI was a pretty low-budget project, it was mostly about the story of soldiers in trenches and lay-low tactics, the sequel WWII, was really the bomb, with millions of dollars invested on it and top notch action sequences. - adrianboy
I think booze is a pretty cool guy. eh keeps me from doing the recaps on time and doesn't afraid of anything. - Pendleton21
Everyone else tolerates it because you're an attractive woman, I find that quite shallow. - Mousse420
*NOTE: I like that quote because at least I know if everyone is going to assume I'm female at least I'm attractive. Call me.
I was able to cause my child to fall into a well of depression after shattering his tailbone by horribly failing the see-saw QTE at the park three times in a row. Then I tried to cheer him up by buying him candy, but picked the one flavor he didn't like. It was like reliving my own childhood.
11/10.

Xzyliac: @punisher898 Score! I wonder if Cyndi Lauper and Lady GaGa hang out together. #ponders
punisher898 (aka Occams Electric Toothbrush): @Xzyliac: I bet if they do its like the best Folger's coffee commercial ever.
That's awesome. Hollywood writers are the best! I had one make me an iced latte the other day. It was totally adequate!

Uno just brings out the animals in all of us. It's just too sexy of a game.
-Sanious
Xzyliac, shut up, you\'re not cool.
-Fear No Darkness
*NOTE: I would like to note that later on I explained myself to Fear No Darkness and he totally sent me an apologetic PM. He's a classy fella whom I'd love to share a drink with sometime.

Now I don't normally news post, and I am quite enjoying watching Memetoid, but I thought this was...interesting...so why the hell not?
From Kotaku: "At the big Final Fantasy XIII launch at the HMV store in London, fans show their disapproval of the prospect of winning a free Xbox 360 bundle. Really guys? Gary from The Koalition was on hand at the big London Final Fantasy launch, where hardcore Final Fantasy fans nearly booed presenter Alex Zane off the stage as he announced a prize that, in my opinion at least, anyone would be happy to receive. Is a multi-platform Final Fantasy really that bad? I mean hell, Square Enix has been working on the game for what, five years? When you put that much time, effort, and money into one game, you have every right to release it on as many platforms as humanly possible. I suppose you have the right to boo the company's decision, but treating it as some sort of betrayal is just silly." From the original source The Koalition: "This past Tuesday I was present at the Final Fantasy XIII launch party in London Oxford Circus, in which the producer Yoshinori Kitase and art director Isamu Kamikokuryo were present. Before the signings were held from the producer and art director, they held a competition on stage. When the presenter Alex Zane announced that the prize was an Xbox 360 Final Fantasy bundle, the whole crowd erupted with boo’s. Keep in mind that the crowd was full of nothing but hardcore Final Fantasy fans." ----- Ridiculous.

I mean it's a free console. If that's not hardcore fanboyism I don't know what is. I mean they could've even won it and did a video of breaking it or something. They come out cosplaying all ridiculous and as compensation dudes like "Answer these questions and get a FREE FUCKING CONSOLE," and they still boo.
Ugh, I have too much faith in people. Perhaps this shouldn't surprise me.
Ok, no prize then you bunch of fanboy twats.
We are not impressed.
Wish I could've been there to shut people up. :(
Start a clever "Destructoid needs an edit button!" chant and I'll join in.
NO MAI, NO BUY!
On wait, that doesn't apply this time.
also this blog header and avatar change confuses and bewilders me. The Epic Beard however calmed things down a bit.
Oh wait, I'm Scottish. I don't count.
That makes it SOO much worse. I'm flabbergasted. Where's the respect? That's not even being a fan. That's...wow.
Fucking cunts, the lot of them....did I just become British?
Well, at least chimpanzees have dignity.
It boggles the mind that these people actually exist.
I'm gonna go take a drink.
Someone get me when people stop embarrassing themselves.
That...is something you just don't do. They're not fans at all.
*Oh Snap!*
...Real fans wouldn't have given a shit about the console either way. It saddens me these kids are immature fanboy prats.
Now I can say, Fanboys should fly on a plane and crush n' burn.
It's free gimmie gimmie!
And Elly Jackson sucks
I'm actually booing both versions right at this very moment because of the changes made from the Japanese release.
BOOOOOOOO!
This is really bad, ok, so I already have a 360 but I wouldnt say no to another, and I certainly wouldnt disrespect the creators of such a huge franchise this way.
If I was Square, just for shits and giggles, Id announce NO NEW FF GAMES ON PS3. Just to see what happened.
Anyways, I'd like to re-iterate that no these people SHOULDN'T be ashamed of themselves for "expressing their opinion" no matter how you may disagree with said opinion. So long as it doesn't completely disrupt the show which from the video doesn't seem to be the case. Plus I don't see anyone on the stage upset with the possibility of winning an X-Box 360...so where's that coming from?
Seems like a lot of uproar on here for something so minor which, despite the booing was quickly brought back into focus by the host who seemed to take it more in jest. I mean really...think about it...your complaining because some people booed. Big deal.
