Game Boy Thieves, Part 2: 'My Destructoid Friends Are Awesome'
Zen Albatross | 7:37 PM on 04.03.2009 15 comments


Many of you may be familiar with the long and horrible story of how I lost my Game Boy, my copy of LSDJ and all of the music I had been working on in one ironic twist of fate. I come to you today with an update to that story.

Before I continue, I think it's only appropriate to preface this blog with the following statement:

My friends on Destructoid are the most amazing, supportive and all-around raddest group of chums that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my entire life. Period.

Within a day of the initial post detailing my misfortune, I had at least three Dtoiders offering to help me out in one way or another. A week later, this comes in the mail from ShadokatRegn:



Fully-working jade green DMG. Battery cover intact.

As if that wasn't enough, I meet up with Iconsam earlier this week on 14th St, and he hands me this:



32M flashcart - A high-capacity cart that can be used to store LSDJ.

And just like that, I'm back in the game. Take note: All of this occurred without any kind of provocation. All I did was share something, and my fellow robots unhesitatingly came to my aid with an unwavering hand and outstretched arm. Once again, I have been reminded that this community is no ordinary community -- This is a group of people who, over the course of barely a year, have transformed from internet acquaintances to a loving family, the likes of which I've never seen in my 23 years of existence.

So, I guess I'll be ending this blog in the same way that I started it -- By saying that this is the greatest community on the face of the earth, and despite our occasional bickering, I will always look to things like this (and things like this) to remind me that Destructoid is the greatest website on these fair internets.

Now please excuse me while I lay down some game boy beatzzz.

Now you have to link us with some of your mad chiptunes.

Also, does anyone remember the wise words of Atheistium? At least they didn't butt rape you.
