Why DESTRUCTOID Rocks!!: Reason # 1,542
Y0j1mb0 \| 4:59 PM on 09.30.2008	29 comments

I think that everybody in our glorious community can pretty much write a blog on a daily basis of why Destructoid as a whole rocks and we would never run out of reasons. That's how rich Destructoid is with it's undeniable love for everybody that frequents here, especially it's community members. I can pretty much testify that I have never seen this amount of joy and love shared among people in any other place. This is yet another example of a member unprovoked being awesome to another here... specifically me.

Last week, Friday to be exact, was my birthday as well as Naia and wouldn't you know someone sent me a little package as a birthday gift. What follows below is a peek at what I received and my many thanks, as well as my gratitude for the gentleman that sent it to me.

This box has been around the block, let me tell you.

Little known fact: I am a candy fanatic. I love sugar. I believe the feeling is mutual.

The Nestle Crunch=Good, Butterfinger=Good, Baby Ruths= Best Candy Bar EVER!

Wait ... how did my WipEout ingame pic showing my second skin for my ship get here?? OOOPS!

Halloween on teh Blu rays. Classic Halloween. mind you. Not the remake. WIN.

That right there would of been more than enough for yours truly but he added one more thing.

Horrible picture is horrible but that there is a NERV shirt from the the classic anime!!!!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIFTS SHIPERO. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

This is why DESTRUCTOID ROCKS!!

Oh wait... there's more. A bit ago Kryptinite sent me a lil package. I haven't forgotten to give my thanks to you either K. Below is the loot he sent me as well.

The List:

1. A shitload of Rockstar Stickers. Awesome. The next PTA meeting I go to, I'll slap all of these stickers in the vans outside of uptight right wing moms.

2. A Namco Postcard with Dig Dug characters displayed.

3. A sports Deca Wristband.

4. Some shiny ass business card. Shiny stuff... cool.

5. Some sort of Star Wars figure. My son swiped it already.

6. An Eye of Judgment card I didn't have.

7. An AWESOME Champions Online Tshirt!!

Many many thanks Big Guy!! You're awesome too!!

That's the shirt Kryptinite gave me BTW.

I personally loved the Rob Zombie version of Halloween. But classics can never be overcome.

CelicaCrazed

Haha that's awesome. I'm jealous now.

shipero

@Jack

He send stuff out too but he blogs every time he gets something. I'll only blog if I get something really cool, like a diamond encrusted scepter or the still-beating heart of Shia LaBeouf.

Shipero:

So that's what it takes huh?

4/28, it's ME time.

Just think about all the joy I've brought this community and let that be the inspiration for my gift.

Wait, then I'd get shit, like real shit. Just forget it.

RonBurgandy2010

@Y0j1mb0
Also, I'm hosting COD4 FNF since you'll be playing, hell, anything other than COD4..

Y0j1mb0

Ron:

If it will make you feel better I'll play some COD4 this PS3FNF. You can still host. It's just that I have a mountain of games you can ski on of new games that need my attention.

I just got Buzz! as well. That shit is fun.I may have to incorporate that into a TV Game night along with Jeopardy...lol.

Anus Mcphanus

Wow awesome swag! I wish it was my birthday and people would send me cool stuff... I guess I'll just cry into my pillow then

Funktastic

Man . . . Destructoid community rocks! ^_^ I expect to see you people at the next PAX!

Alexradl

Ron:

Pftt, COD4 is so 2 weeks ago.

randombullseye

That is awesome. Good call putting the rockstars on the soccer moms vans. Something tells me they won't even know what it is.

On my birthday can everyone pool together for an english copy of Guardian Heroes?

aborto thefetus

You make me so jealous I want to stab you.

Clockwork

For fuck's sake someone send me something.

nebones

I'm jealous

NihonTiger90

Why is everyone being so generous to everyone now? I thought we were all just a bunch of dicks.

IronPikeman

Damn Yojimbo, share the wealth!

Also birthday Nov, 6th for anyone who might have an ounce of generosity left in them...(doubt it)

hpv

Sweet haul! Any chance you'd be willing to part with one of those R* stickers?

Also, congrats on the great taste in candy. Baby Ruth is genetically superior!

Kryptinite

NO problem at all man! You forgot to say I sent you a Xbox Live card so you'd stop bitching about the price ;).

Random goody packages are always awesome!
