About Me
I'm mostly a retro gamer. I don't hate everything after the 90's, but I tend to prefer retro game design. I enjoy alot of indie and portable games, not to mention a blockbuster title every now and then. However, like I said, the majority of my gaming takes place on older consoles.

Destructoid: A Review From a Newb
jackal27 | 12:31 AM on 07.22.2008 47 comments


Why have I not been on this site for longer!? I love this! I hadn't really gotten into Destructoid other than listening to RetroforceGo! (which I found through iTunes) until I joined about 2 weeks ago and realized that this is the best site for gamers on the entirety of the intertubez.

The blog system is genius and a great way to connect to people! I wrote some stupid blog today about Zelda and it got like over 30 comments! I also randomly met two gamers who live in the same town as I do! I just thought that was really cool. It doesn't really seem like there's a hierarchy here either because the Editors are so cool and treat the regular members like people, unlike some other sites I've been on.

Speaking of which, the community here is very warm as well. It's awesome so many people from different places with different opinions can just come here and be connected with each other solely through their love of video games.

I'm having so much fun here just ranting about crap, commenting people, reading news, and making friends. This really is the best site for gamers in my opinion, I can't wait for the things to come.

Now I just have one question... Where can I get that Destructoid font that everyone seems to have at?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

@Def JM- WTF IS THAT PICTURE!? HAHAHA!! It reminds of of those scenes that are always in anime when someone is floating in the air and the other person is flying past them, hitting them over and over. You know what I'm saying?

@Y0j1mb0- Hahaha, I've seen him, but I haven't talked to him yet, hahaha. if he's the only a-hole I'll be good, lol. Someone has to be that guy.

@Nintendoll- Best welcome ever. Although I'm not sure how it would in other situations... like a job interview or meeting your fiance's parents...

Sucking up does not work. Do not Suck. That is all.

Actually, it's been confirmed that 100% of DTOID is in fact a Douchebag, with the exceptions of Mr. Sadistic, Heretic, and Reaprar.

I'm Ron Workman and I approve of this message.

@Zaqu- Thanks man, I appreciate it. BTW, is that effing KIRBY!? DEAR LORD!!

@Heretic- I didn't mean to call you one, haha, I hadn't even met you yet! Well, I generally try to be as nice as possible to people because I mostly have Chad Concelmo Syndrome, hahaha. So I think we'll be on good terms... Unless you're a Madden fanboy... Even then, maybe I can come to forgive you somehow... Someday...

@The Gamegoblin- I'M SORRY!! I JUST WANTED TO BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN MYSELF!!

@Heretic- Good, my roommate was a Madden fanboy... Oh God... I would even beg him to play HALO just because I was THAT sick of Madden... Oh I also meant that I was thinking of Old Greg, just in case that was confusing.

Don't listen to Kryptinite. It's a lot easier if you just relax and think about something pretty. Don't fight it, it only makes it worse. ya motherlicker
