10 Things I learned this week: I'm NOT Aborto Edition.
Y0j1mb0 | 11:41 PM on 04.22.2009 40 comments




Apparently Aborto has confirmed he's not dead, has not been kidnapped or had a real life. Personally I just thought he was knee deep in the latest Pokemon game without the will to stop playing it, not bathing, scarfing day old Doritos cool ranch and soiling himself. Oh well, seeing as we haven't seen one of his 10 things post, I took it upon myself to enrich your internet lives with one from my perspective. Aren't you lucky?

Let us begin with...

10. WTF is up with some editors changing their avatars?

Like they all of a sudden realized they don't have to pander to us and can change their iconic avatars/pics because they feel like it. The change is a most unwelcome one for me. Having Hamza CTZ's real mug in his avi was a jolt to the senses. Or Grim's. But the worst for me was Colette's. One of the 1st images that cemented itself in my noggin when I joined Destructoid was Colette's classic one here.



And now it's no more. I demand you guys change them back! Especially Colette. NOW.

9. The Toilet Duck is full of win.

He made some mosaics from all of our avatars into existing Dtoid wallpapers and they are glorious. If by chance you haven't checked them out do so in his blog as they are amazing. He needs much kudos for his time and effort that went into creating them. Also I need help finding my damn avatar in them. I still can't find me. Help.

8. Blehman is gay for Peggle.

I really don't have anything else to add except I wonder what Evil Blehman would say about that?

7. I committed to buying the Batman: Arkham Asylum Collector's Edition.

I rarely get the special edition of any game because really gentlemen, they're over priced crap parading as special. Also just about every Batman game has been crap as well. So why am I blowing a hundred bucks for the special edition of a game that may very well be mediocre? The batarang. The game can suck for all I care. I want that damn batarang. I'm actually daydreaming what I'll throw it at.

6. There's a rumor floating about that Kojima is thinking of making another Zone of Enders.

There's also another rumor that ties in with that one that my pants got tighter when I heard that.

5. Mikey really is an art god.

Just take a look at SilverDragon's new banner if you really need confirmation. Seriously Mikey, awesome awesome stuff.

4. While looking at my Killzone 2 friends ranking I noticed Jim Sterling is on the top of the charts.

O.o

Whoah.

3. The forums are awesome. You should visit them more often. Plus there's girls there that pretend to like us and occasionally post non revealing pictures of themselves. I'm still waiting for a bikini thread.

2. Seems unstoppablejuggernaut quit Dtoid.

Where on earth am I going to read blogs full of colorful metaphors and drunken tirades?

1. I realized this week that I am about to spend a shitload of money on recent upcoming games like: Infamous, Batman, Sacred 2, Ghostbusters, Prototype, Blazblue, the new Devil Summoner game for PS2, and let's not forget the Battlestar Galactica Complete series on Blu-ray around the corner. That's a lot of moneyz leaving my wallet.

Oh well.

Nice list, Yojimbo :) I never even seen those mosaic wallpapers. Definitely cool! I also miss Colette's old avatar, but I guess maybe they needed some change, I know I like to change my avatar up every once in a while. And they the editors still look very sexually attractive in their pictures, so it doesn't really bother me all that much.

I daresay Coleete's picture was also quite iconic as well as very attractive in that of way.

Maybe I'm going too deep, but that image, like you, was burned in my mind, but at the first time I saw it. I dunno, there was,is something quite rebellious and brilliant about that photo and how it is done. I thought it captured a part of Dtoid perfectly.

Also, yeah Blu-ray is awesome, I recently got two jei li (and Andy Lau) films, Fearless and The Warlords. Both make your jaw drop in Blu ray, the diff between them from dvd is incredible.

People who think there is not a huge leap from dvd to bluray, are simply blind. Sorry but they are, 1080p picture and HD sound is glorious, finally you actually have a cinema experience at home. :D

Nice list! You reminded me how excited I am for Batman and directed me toward a new wallpaper by toiletduck.
I miss the editor avatars too, each editor's avatar said a lot about them and they were totally iconic.
It's weird to see this "professional" stuff now.

I do have to say though that this top 10 list reminded me that I have to go to the forums more often.

I also learned a few things:

1. Not having a connection is great for playing those amazing old games you never had the time for. Okami anyone?

2. Not having a connection is great for replaying those amazing new games you never had the time for. Metal Gear Solid 4 anyone?

3. Not having a connection is great when your apt looks like a shithole. Sorted all my games and books. Looks sweet now.

3. I can never ever beat Metal Gear Solid 4 without getting spotted once. Instead I shot everyone and went for all the items, easter eggs, everything! MGS4 has no secrets for me anymore. (OK, I still need to play through once more because of one Ipod song.)

3. Mushman needs to go back to school. Too many errors in his comments lately. Coleete? (see above) :D

4. Jimbo needs to blog more. Like he used to do.

5. Shipero creates amazing avatars.

6. James made me laugh my ass off with his NSFW Streetfigher blog.

7. I can't find a copy of Zone of the Enders 2 anywhere. (Hint: I've got US and EU PS2's!)

8. The best blogs get the least comments.

9. Mikey is amazing.

9.5 Silverdragon is lucky.

10. Lists are awesome.

The Kojima making a new Zone of the Enders game literally jolted me out of this 2:00 AM malaise I'm in. That sounds fucking awesome. And I wish I had the spare cash to also blow on getting the newest Batarang replica, I mean Batman video game.

Well truth be told I'm on chap 6 but I dealt with that mission at a freinds house and I got the stratagy guide at gamestop for a penny.

Apparently therse a way to terminate the tank in one turn (turn 9 to be precise) I will fill you in when I get home but this is why I'm on chapter 6 still, I'm working out stratagies and power leveling ( it helps if you A ranked the earlier missons and killed some of the aces).

I love Colette's new avatar!

The whole ZOE3 rumor is pretty much true. In an interview in the issue of some UK magazine that did the first(or at least one of the first) review of MGS4 Kojima said in a little interview that his team is starting to do some ZoE related things. It was only little pre-production stuff like concept art that but was like 10 months ago.

I changed my avatar up because I've been wanting to use my real face for a long time now. It's almost my three year anniversary here and I think it was about time Tako King took a step down.

Same reasoning for the rest of the gang for the most part. They've had the same avatar for long time and wanted to change things up. Plus, I feel it's a lot more personable now

@Naim Master

You went into a thread and declared that everyone in it was a demonizing prick for smoking marijuana, then you spammed it with hate speech and tried to start a group of people who hate marijuana.

So yeah, stay the fuck out of the forums, and stop being an "elitist".

Sorry Yojimbo, it just wouldn't be a Yojimbo blog without any drama in it.

Hey 'Jimbo, just found this out.

I thought I remember you saying you loved Front Mission in some form (even though it might only be 3, which is in my top 10 PS1 list as well). Thought I'd try!
