It's 11:41 pm and as I'm writing this Jay Leno is doing his corny ass monologue on the
Tonight Show. I'm too lazy to get up from the computer and take all of three steps to get the remote to change the channel. So I endure his failed attempts at humor. I turn my attention to Destructoid and read every Cblog and front page piece...
twice. Aside from the
Heavy Rain preview Conrad put up way earlier nothing is perking my peepers.
Usually when this happens, I turn my eye to the wackiness, the unpredictability of the forums. I know that somewhere in the forums a Dtoider will put forth a new topic that might strike a chord with the community and off we go to hilarity street. I know that someone may post a new picture of themselves and it will be either ridiculed, shooped to become something that it was never meant to be, or just plain drooled on, if by chance one of the many good looking Dtoid women decided to grace us with their female presence on pic form. But always I will find something new to see.
At this moment if the forums were up I would be writing a new entry into
Four things on your mind or rating someones avatar. Usually done doing that I'll check the introductions to see if any new members actually created a decent intro so I can welcome them to our fold ( yet secretly wish someone didn't bother or care for a proper intro, so I can laugh at the forum policing that comes in quick to show said person the error of their ways ).
Instead what I'm forced to do when I click on the forums is see
this. Yup. That's it. Typically when I see that
brb its when my wife writes me a small note saying something to the effect of:
"Be right back, went to the store to pick up a gallon of milk." Which means I'll be
right back. Maybe twenty minutes longer than usual and with the very least a brief explanation of why the act of "brb" was initiated. No such brief explanation included here. Just "brb" and that blank white void of a page. I think I'm going out on a limb here when I say this but unlike some who just frequent the frontpage and cblogs, I view it as a whole. An entity of several parts but one not greater than the other. Destructoid is incomplete to me. I'm used to a whole pie of awesome and instead I getting half of it now. I'm hungry here. Greedy even. And that "brb" blank page is mocking me.
Forgive my little rant here. Maybe it's corny ass
Leno, or that eighth Corona I just downed but I miss the forums. I don't know what happened to them to make them go down, but I know I'm growing impatient with them not being up yet.
BTW: Hope everybody had a happy Memorial Day.
Oh and it's deBLOO's fault the forums are down, since no one likes him on there.
Oh and son of a bitch I forgot that I was going to watch Jay Leno all this week, since that douche bag is leaving next week and Conan is taking his place. Fuck yeah.
'Jimbo you're a true fan, and there's no doubt your blood runs green. Seriously though, this is just depressing. My wife and I are on a budget, and every day I go "I WISH I HAD FUCKING SACRED 2 SO I COULD PLAY WITH THIS OLD DUDE NAMED FRANCISCO/YOJIMBO.
BRB is definitely not enough.
It just doesn't work right out here :(
Also, Happy Memorial Day!
K, that sounded better in my head.
If you want the Cblogs to be as good as they were "last year", do something about it.
Then you won't have to worry about changing the channel, Yojimbo.
Unless, of course, you don't like Conan.
Why De Bloo? WHY??
Also, is it me or has Conan seemed to be getting less funny lately?
need to find more Europeans to spam them for the EuroNARP :-)
plus I'm really wondering what the F is going on back there at the robotHQ, KotaKu-Takeover? Terrorist Invasion? Mass Orgy with the finalists of Miss World?
:)
Also,
@Ballistic
If you want the Cblogs to be as good as they were "last year", do something about it by re-inviting all the people that used to write here last year regularly back from wherever they've gone to write now, and kick out all the people who think they're good enough to write now by flaming them mercilessly until they fit your narrow view of what a "cblog" should be.
...is what garrison meant to say.
I feel bad writing free content, but at the same time I feel like an asshole not being a part of whatever this is.
I want my forums back.
