Today is 2 Dtoiders' birthdays, and they are two awesome people. The first one is HuskyHog, who is pretty much the most amazing person I know. Husky came to PAX 08 at the last minute, and that was one of the best parts of PAX, me showing up to the Dtoid panel and randomly seeing Husky across the room and running over to him as soon as the panel got through. Also mistakes. It is also Nintendoll's birthday, of Negative Gamer, but she was ours first, so yeah. Chelsea is an awesome girl and a big part of Dtoid NY. These two kids are amazing, and you should wish them both a very happy birthday.

Continuing the first set of IRCads, here are 2 more plus a special picture whipped up by our very own Electro Lemon, which is 100x better than anything I could do. I highly encourage IRC people to make photoshop their own original advertisements, and if they are a quarter as good as Lemon's they will be included in the next edition of IRC ads. Enjoy!

In what will hopefully be a weekly event, I want to start hosting XBLA games on Saturdays. Friday nights are for super cereal shooters and games that just came out (I'm looking at you RF:G). But for some reason I find the XBLA titles more enjoyable. Maybe it's just because they are simpler and don't require much effort, but I like to just be able to play some games without raging because my KD ratio in CoD4 is always at least as bad as 1:2. So if you want to just chill out and shoot the shit tonight, add Niksnooc on Live. Starting at 5 Central (in 30 minutes), I will start up some UNO, and then proceed with the following schedule.
5-6: UNO
6-7: TMNT Arcade
7-8: 1 Vs. 100
8-9: Aegis Wing
9-10: Castle Crashers
10-whenever: Texas Hold Em
(All times are Central. Adjust for your time zone as needed)
If you don't have these games or want to play something different, just leave your GT and which games you are willing to host. If you do want to play one or more of these games, leave your GT with which sessions you'll be attending. PS3 people, I don't know what the PSN library looks like, but if you want to get some games going, you can organize it in the comments as well. read more

If you've ever met me, you've probably heard me pitch Unofficial Destructoid IRC to you. Most of you know I am an admin in there, and we have some really good times in there, but recently I was thinking about how to promote IRC and get more new people in there (even though the people that are in there already are amazing) and I thought back to something amazing Niero did a while back. So, piggybacking on Niero's marketing smarts, I present you the first of (Unofficial) Destructoid IRC's new advertising campaign.

All of which you are about to read is true. It has not been altered in any way, shape or form.
I have always been a little too ambitious for my own good. I say I will do things, that I earnestly mean at the time, that don't work out the way I want. Case in point, I was due to visit San Francisco on GDC weekend. I told everyone from San Fran that I was going to be there, told the LA people to come up to see me, and generally hyped myself up as the Second Coming of (Drunkard) Christ. Well, a week before GDC rolls around and I realize that I should probably book tickets. Except when I started shopping around, tickets were what you would call "not cheap". I was prepared to pay up to $400, but the cheapest I could find were $700, and I just couldn't justify seven hundred dollars for what amounted to 36 hours in SF.
Fast forward to about a month ago. School was close to letting out for summer, and I had that feeling inside me (no, not THAT feeling) that I needed to leave Texas, go out and do something big. My eyes were set to the West. At first I had decided, with two of my college buddies, that we would road trip West, stopping at Pheonix, then Vegas, then peak at LA, then back around to TX. Unfortunately, dreams are often dashed by financial situations, and both of the guys that were supposed to go with me bailed. Fine then, I thought, I will just fly to LA and hang out the weekend before E3. So, just like San Fran, I twittered about it, posted a cblog about it, talked it up in IRC, and just generally made a big deal about it. The problem is, I never bought a ticket. I couldn't decide the right dates to come and go, so I just never acted on it. In the last few days I just resigned myself to the fact that this would be another one of those times, where I let everyone down, talked shit I couldn't back up, and generally was a huge fuck up. Yesterday Dexter345 and HuskyHog GTalked me, with the intention of asking me about when I was getting in town and such. Like a huge fucking douchebag, I ignored them because I couldn't bring myself to admit that I was a big phoney who wasn't going anywhere near LA. Then, something happened last night. I fell asleep listening to the latest episode of RFGO! (Not because you guys are boring, it's on purpose), and I had a crazy fucking dream. It involved all kinds of people from my life, substance abuse, and physical violence, but the most important part of it was that in the dream, I decided that I was going to go to LA, that I would not let everyone down, and I looked up last minute prices and they really weren't that expensive.
So, I woke up at 11 and this is what I have been doing in the hour I've been awake.
See you Saturday, fuckers. :) read more

So, here's the deal folks. I just got out of college for the semester, and I need to get away from Texas for a little bit. I originally had planned a road trip from Texas all the way to the west coast, but my college friends that I was planning with don't have "money" to do fun things. But I'm not going to let them stop me. I won't be road tripping it anymore, but I am still aiming for the West coast. So, I figure, why not make the trip during E3. What I am trying to feel out is, who all is going to be there (I know most of the editors will be), when they are getting there, when/if the San Fran people are coming down, etc. I know that the editors will be busy doing their "jobs" at night, but I figured there will be something to do during the week.
All that dumbass rambling up there is me trying to ask: When are people getting in LA, and when should I come down? read more

Yeah, Podtoid 100, which is not going to formally be released on iTunes or the front page, has been uploaded on the forums, but I know a lot of you fuckers are afraid of "that" place, so I thought I would let you know. I haven't listened to it yet, but am planning to before I go to bed tonight. In closing, peace be with you.
And also with you. read more
