I would like to Thank ALL PS3 Owners..
Y0j1mb0 | 10:55 AM on 06.10.2008 29 comments



The only prerequisite that you need to enter our tournament. The PSN Poker Game.

Last night I was the recipient of a FREE PS3 game of my choice. What should I get? Hmmm. Maybe Metal Gear Solid 4 ? No, I already paid for that game a month ago. How about that Dragon Ball Z game? Perhaps. Or maybe wait and get that Bioshock game to come out on the PS3. I'm a patient man. The point is, I would like to thank ALL the PS3 owners that didn't partake in our Poker Nights on Monday @ 10pm ( Last night ) as it gave me a one out of six chance at getting the FREE PS3 game that I ultimately won.


The face of a Poker Champion. Study it well.

The players that did show up for a feeble attempt at winning were: Ha-Puken, Qraze ( your not Number One in the Poker Table G!! ), Video_Cognito, SantananaClaus, manta, and yours truly. While to be fair most put a a little fight and the end of the night it was just manta and I left. Needless to say I don't think manta got the memo that I was going to win regardless because he actually had in his head that he would win over me. It didnt happen. What a surprise.


Poker players have been known to show up. We're still waiting on those loose women to make an appearance.

But being the kind non-smack talking gent that I am, I will reiterate that if you too would like a GREAT chance at a free game in our Poker soiree, the ONLY game in DESTRUCTOID, week in and week out that hands out a FREE game to the winner EVERYTIME, you may want sit for a spell with us, have a shot or two of some alcohol and try to beat us in the fine game of Texas Hold 'Em. The operative word being "try." I grow bored of whipping up on people. Perhaps you have what it takes to win and dethrone me.

Here's the info one mo' time on how you can snag yourself a reprieve for your wallet and grab you a game as well as free poker lessons by me.



PS3 Poker Nights. Modays @ 10pm EST. Hosted by Ha-Puken. PSN Tag: JamesEwing. Just start up your PSN Poker game, go to play online and search for his room. It will be easy to find. Look for his name with the padlock on the left of his name, enter the password "toid" and you my friend, will have entered in a Poker Club only select few have had the privilege to rub shoulders with. Know that the table only holds six people but we will create additional tables if needed. And if that's the case, you will look for my name, like Ha-Puken's, under searchable games. I'm known in the PSN circles as: k0wb0y-b33b0p. Don't be shy and join the festivities. Who knows..I may lose.

You're welcome?
JACK of No Trades's Destructoid Blog
Hey grandpa. I can't play poker that well. Also, am I really s sleazbag? :(
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
I need to jump on this one Monday because you talk a lot a shit. Granted you'll probably hand me my ass but still....just saying.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
God dammit the smell in this blog is unbearable!
You should get Halo 3 you filthy fanboy!
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Pff...

How about you play real poker and lose all your money, your house, and the love of your family like a real man.
SantanaClaus89's Destructoid Blog
I'll get you, Gadget. NEXT TIIIIIIIIME!!!!!
Ha-Puken's Destructoid Blog
@Takeshi
You're right, this blog does smell funny. Considering it was written by an old man it's not suprising that it reeks of arthritis cream and senility.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
You know what this blog smells like? Victory. It's something you gentlemen I trounced last night undoubtedly have no understanding of. Don't worry though, losing is quite fashionable in today's youth.

:D
shipero's Destructoid Blog
I had no idea victory smelled like denture cream and decay.
Hitogoroshi's Destructoid Blog
You're welcome for forgetting.
Qraze's Destructoid Blog
smells like teen spirit. lol, i couldn't get any kind of hand last night. if anyone wants to play more poker just message me, i don't really care if i win the free game or not, i just want some good hands to play so i can at least be a challenge.
BS3 Owner's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, You need me not to be there to win...

( @ least you're honest! )

:P
Ha-Puken's Destructoid Blog
"losing is quite fashionable in today's youth"
That [i]depends[/] on who you talk to...

manta's Destructoid Blog
9 3 off suit and 8 3 off suit, lady luck was not with me in the end when I needed her most.

Savor that victory. It'll be a long time before you taste it again.

*insert old man joke here*
DynamicSheep's Destructoid Blog
Your WELCOME y0J1MB0! Who gives these games out?
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
I must needs get this gayme.
mistic's Destructoid Blog
You're welcome!

on another note, I suck at poker and 10 PM PST is like 2/3am CET so I won't be joining probably :-)

enjoy your free game ;-)

DYNAMIC SHEEP:

The PS3 MAFIA which consists of Shipero, Ha-Puken, naib, Takeshi, Counting Conflict, myself and any who wish to donate a game. We do this as a way to give back to the Dtoid Community. We alternate turns in game gifting.

Hitogoroshi:

That was a fluke..lol. Show up again and you will see a different result. You must know this already because you haven't showed up in poker since. :)
Video Cognito's Destructoid Blog
I was about to win that first hand, but the internets decided to kick me off. Seriously, I am destined to never win at poker.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
If your decaying body wouldn't take up that many seats I could at least join last night. Next time you might as well reserve one slot for Jimbo's arrogance Ha-Puken (and maybe another one for his old men diapers). Well at least he can't fail on COD4 when he's playing poker with his 4 kills in a whole match.
DarkTravesty's Destructoid Blog
i tried (5 weeks ago) but i suck. I also had no idea what i was doing.
ceark's Destructoid Blog
yojimbo, you have a 1 in 1 chance of winning anyways.
Rifter01's Destructoid Blog
ahh.. I have Texas Hold'em for 360, but not for ps3 (I heard I needed ps3 to begin with presumeably).. I just had to comment when I saw that hot pink/white "ps3 Poker Nights" graphic. I remember seeing that (minus the caption) all over Second Life.. I kept thinking, WTF is that dude letting her do to him.. ROFLMAO! and also EWW! LOL
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
You’re welcome. I’d partake in the poker shenanigans, but I can’t afford to be giving a game away...
bleep's Destructoid Blog
So if you take turn gifting games is there a chance you would have to give yourself a game?
naib's Destructoid Blog
^
I put Odin Sphere up for grabs and wanted to play just to retain it. I did not.

I fear commitment.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
Samit:

You don't need to give a game away. We just happen to. You're more than welcome to come without strings attached.As a matter of fact, I wanna see what kinda poker game you got Samit.

BLEEP:

It hasn't happened it yet, lol.
Lorex888's Destructoid Blog
Dammit I want to join! Mondays & Wednesdays no good for me tho. I'm in Cali so that's 7pm my time.

I just got a PS3 on 6/12.

But if anyone is ever on Pokerstars, find me. I'm Lorex888.
