Just got it in the mail this morning an I just wanted to say it is teh secks. I shall wear it with pride and be eager to answer everybody I meet about what the hell deeeestructoid dot com is.
After months of depriving myself of the luxuries of the internet, I've returned to reading Destructoid, shenanigans and, most importantly, gaming. To give you all the Cliff's Notes version on why, I pretty much almost flunked out of college due to my avid interest in all things gaming. Thus, I essentially rehabilitated myself by avoiding gaming all together.
Until now...
...and so I shall reward my ongoing mediocrity by doing the following:
So you might've noticed all the dates an locations on the front page for Video Games Live here a while back. My question is: who will be attending the October 28th show at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri? Tickets are only $35 for premiere, ground floor. Seats also go as low as $17.
We'll be meeting up for pre-show festivities that are set-up (cosplay contests, VG competitions/stations, etc.) right outside of Jesse Auditorium at 5:30 pm. The show starts at 7:00 pm.
I am also taping a video segment prior to the show and afterwards which will be very similar to "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno's" Jaywalking Segment. Basically, I'll be interviewing random attendees, asking about gaming crap but with a hilarious spin on a few things. Unfortunately, no cameras are allowed in the auditorium, even if I am a legitimate press member. So if you love being on camera, be internet famous or buttsecks, then COME, NUKKAHS!!!!!111one11!!
I do live in the area, so we can do something afterwards if you'll be around. I think we'll have some late dinner downtown following the show if you care to join us. Post-show events are sort of fly-by-night, whatever anybody wants to do (possibly Guitar Hero 3 playing? It does come out that Sunday...). Nothing is concrete unless we have more Dtoid members join up for this show.
I've gotten word that Workman has been talking with the host, his holiness Tommy Tallarico, but mum's the word. However, I can tell you that the pants tighten over what he has in store for Destructoid, so come to this show! Don't you love freedom, you pinko commie? If so, make sure you join us!
So far, the Toids that have confirmed attending:
masterledz
York7788
TheGoldenDonut
If you are indeed attending, post your comment here or PM me and I'll contact you to meet-up. You can purchase tickets here.

I'll be purchasing tickets later this week and I was wondering if anybody from Destructoid would like to meet-up. Tickets are only $35 for premiere, ground floor, central seating (next best to front row). Seats also go as low as $17.

It's true! Now you too can chill with the one and only Master Chief himself! Just follow these 5 simple steps!
1) Take a lame ass picture of yourself at your pad.
2) Google "Halo 3 Master Chief" or some BS image.
3) Photoshoop da whoop yourself next to said Master Chief.
4) Rinse and repeat. Or not.
5) Rejoice.
Sarcastic Gamer has posted "How to kill a brand", sung and written by Doc Adams. The song is sung to the tune of "How to save a life" by Fray. Faith posted this previously on the front page, but now the music is actually accompanied by an actual music video and not a slideshow. Enjoy.
While bowsing the interwebs, I came upon this list dated back from December of last year of the Top 10 Hottest Girl Gamers (who are actually gamers). I thought I'd spare you the time of actually clicking on the link for you horny readers, so without further ado, here they are, copypasta'd for your pleasure.
SPOILERS: YOU WILL DISAGREE WITH THIS LIST. KEEP IN MIND MR. LEDZ DID NOT MAKE THIS LIST. DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN UP THE SPLOOGE ON THIS LIST
As if the internet doesn't have enough top 10 lists, here we are with one more to throw in the mix - the top 10 hottest girl gamers. No, seriously. All the girls on this list actually play video games ... we promise.
First off, allow us to apologize to all the G4 girls who didn't make the list (Morgan Webb, Olivia Munn, Kirsten Holt, etc). As you can see, this is a list for girls who really play games, not TV hosts trying to boost their fledgling acting/modeling career while pretending to be gamers.
So after that introduction, and with no further ado, we present you with the "Game Lemons Top Ten Hottest Girl Gamers Who Are Actually Gamers" list. (10) Kirsten Kearney - Freelance Computer & Video Game Journalist
Journalist by day, gamer by ... day. Kirsten Kearney has been a Journalist for 10 years. After 5 years at the BBC she left and became a self-employed freelance specialist journalist in computer and videogaming.
(9) Zoe Flower - Game Designer, SlantSix Games
Flower is well-known for co-hosting Electric Playground, her column in Official US PlayStation Magazine, and most recently Yahoo's videogame web-show, Reset. In summer 2006, she settled into a new job working as a game designer at SlantSix games in Vancouver Canada. Never heard of SlantSix? Neither had we. We dug around and found out they worked on Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, for the PSP which actually scored really well with critics.
(8) 'Brookelyn' - Ubisoft Frag Doll
We might have scored Brookelyn higher, but with a name like that, we were afraid she might have a heavy "new yowk" accent - which we just can't support. Accents aside, how come you never see girls like this at your local LAN party?
(7) 'Seppuku' - Ubisoft Frag Doll
What exactly does Seppuku mean anyway? Oh well, who cares ... any girl that lists God of War, World of Warcraft, and Rainbow Six Vegas on her list of favorites is okay by us.
(6) Paulina Bozek - Senior Producer, Sony Games
In August 2004 she was awarded the first ever BAFTA Interactive New Talent Award for her creative and innovative role in the production of Singstar. We'd also like to award her with the prestigious "Producer who looks most like Lieutenant Tasha Yar from Star Trek" award.
(5) 'Calyber' - Ubisoft Frag Doll
Calyber has that "girl next door" appeal. And with Halo 2 and Quake listed amongst her favorite games, we wish she could have grown up next door to us.
(4) 'Jinx' - Ubisoft Frag Doll
We are big fans of Jinx's choice of hair accessories. The Sam Fisher look suits her well, and we believe it's only a matter of time before more girls take notice and start wearing this around.
(3) 'Fraggety Ann' aka 'Boom St1ck' - Clan PMS Founder
Not many girls can add "FPS Gaming Clan Founder" to their resume. This girl is the real deal though. Clan PMS is one of the top female gaming clans, often beating all-male teams. Win or lose, we'd like to play a one on one deathmatch against this girl.
(2) Molly Stanberry - Founder & Host of womenofwarcraftpodcast.com
Where was this girl on my last raid? We'd venture to say that Molly is every bit as hot as any night elf you'll ever see running around in World of Warcraft. She really loves the game, and it shows in her podcasts. After seeing her, we have hope that all those sexy gnomes (and they are sexy) running around in WoW really are played by actual girls.
(1) Jade Raymond - Producer, Ubisoft
Nobody around here had heard much about Jade until last E3 when she began popping up in interviews and press meetings surrounding Ubisoft's upcoming project - Assassins Creed. At first we almost overlooked her hotness because we were distracted by the jaw-dropping visuals and gameplay. But after regaining our senses, we realized it wasn't only the game that had nice graphics. We give Jade bonus points for also having worked as a game programmer at one point.
Okay, so I went to a gas station earlier today and picked up that aluminum bottle to your left for $2.60. Game Fuel is like crack, it makes me so freakin hyper, and I don't care what anyone says, it is delicious.
Hell, its not worth that kind of money, but damnit, that is a collectors' dream if I've ever seen one, seeing as how it's not a crappy plastic bottle or little common can.
Has anybody else seen this?

Rest In Pieces, RadioToid
You're all noobs; GTFO. Or stay to become enlightened by all the Master has to offer.
Are you a nay-sayer of the Master's teachings? An Unbeliever? Blasphemer? Douchebag? Just read these satisfied pupils' unsolicited testimonials...
For the record, nobody.... and I repeat nobody, breaks in noobs to the forums like Masterledz. If he hasn't appeared with his ominous warning, you have to ask yourself if you've really joined Destructoid. -Gameboi
Truer words were never spoken, Master. -coonskin05
