About
My name is meteorscrap.

Occasionally I'll post random thoughts and musings here which are too long, too detailed, or otherwise don't fit in the comments section. Given the length of some of the stuff I've left as a comment, you can well imagine what I consider long.

Do you like words? 'cause I got a lot for you.

So you two, I'll be in contact tonight about sending you some free, awesome shit.

My Announcement

Now it's time for me to hang up my admittedly feather-filled Contestoid hat. At least until the new year. Even without the rush of fall games, this final quarter of the year is financially crippling for me. Three of my best friends have birthdays in the next month, and that doesn't take into account my family members with birthdays... Or Christmas. I have a large, extended family who I'm kinda close with. We're actually a clan, to use the classic term.

You guys think I'm generous with strangers. Man, if you ain't my friend or family, you ain't seen nothin'.

My wallet weeps looking at the next few months and Destructoid, I'm sorry... But my wallet has no room for you for a little while. I'd feel worse, but by the time I'll have shipped this contest's prizes out I'll have dropped what... just shy of a grand on you guys this year?

Don't worry. I'll be back to throwing random people random free shit soon enough. And you bastards have family and friends to give you Christmas gifts anyway. So keep an eye out for more opportunities for me to make you dance for my amusement come the new year.

Big thanks to everyone who participated thus far!

Congrats to the winners! And Meteors...seriously...you do not have to apologize for cutting us off for a while (or forever!). You've been extremely generous.
You're posting with your real name... Soo creepy.

I know. It's just that Christmas is the season of giving, and I feel slightly guilty that I'm not going to be giving to the community then. Destructoid's been a fantastic place for me, and I never feel right unless I give back what I feel I've gotten. I'm nowhere near that mark yet.
You're pretty awesome. Not awesome awesome, but pretty awesome. :D
Congrats to the winners! And while I didn't participate, I must say, thank you for running your contests! And as Caiters said, you don't have to apologize. You don't have to spend tons of money on us, but you do. And I find that super rad.
Congratulations to all the winners :D
Fapped for giving random people random free stuff. Totally woulda entered this, but I know a lot more people that were itching for Gears over me. Plus...Silver Member.
Dude, thank you so much for putting on this contest. I wish I had followed it more closely as I missed out on a few events - which is TOTALLY why I lost - but getting to play a few new games I never had before was a real treat. :)
FUUUUCK YEEEEEAAAH!!!

Man, I'm so stoked about winning, and the breadth of your generosity, that I'm not even gonna talk smack to Monk :)

...Dude, this was a sweet contest. Prizes aside even, it was just fun seeing what fucked up game you would pick and trying to get high scores on them in competition with everyone else. You're a hell of a crazy generous dude, and fun to play with to boot. 1000 internet hugs for you, man. \m/
Don't give it to Blasto; he'll sell it to buy crack. You wouldn't want to facilitate his crack habit when all of his children are starving.
Good times. Like pizza good, which is epic.
Congrats to the winners!
This was really quite kind of you Meteor. Thank you for your generosity. I am with you on the epic gift giving to friends. I love giving gifts. If I was rich so many of my friends would receive replica movie props and sausage baskets.
Yeah, it finally got changed over...it is weird. And I know how you feel about giving back, but dang dude you've given back so much that it almost accounts for all of our lack of giving!
Great fucking contest! Thanks for doing this, meteorscrap :)
This is what the Dtoid community is all about. Big ups on the contest and your generosity, dude.
Holy balls. My last-round entry got me third? What?

Also, totally agree with Blasto on it being a great contest. If I had seen it before the last game, I'd have jumped in. I'm a little mad at myself for missing it.

But seriously, mystery-game competitions like that are among my favorite things. You rule.
