Tales of Etrian Odyssey-Contest Whoring
mix | 11:52 AM on 05.24.2008 2 comments


I don't expect anyone to read this blog because when the contests have you creating a Cblog there are usually a billion posts and 85% of them just suck, so I am trying to get into that 15% range...............trying

(Epic picture was not working)

I have never played this game nor heard of it till up to yesterday, heck, I have not even heard of the game that predates it, but I can safely say that it looks damn cool and that no one can argue with free! (free rape is different.....) I asked what people should write about when they know nothing about the game and I received no answer so I'm just going to type.

I joined Destrudctoid in '06, when there was a forum (sadly it's gone now...) I did this so I could whore myself at all the contests Meep-Jeep style. I'm very competitive as well, I sit in front of my computer screen with a bottle of Gatorade, short shorts, a wife beater and a head band constantly pressing F5 to see just what contests are coming. The awesome part is I actually won something (see the 50th comment free iron on patch thread) the sad part is that I never received an e-mail for the patch :(

Mentally this is a very stressing sport to compete in as you have to be on the ball 24 fucking 7 and even typing and posting a blog is crucial as you have to do it just right and at the right time. Anyone here ever start up a Tampax user name just so you could win free shit? I didn’t think so.

The art of contest whoring is easy to get into but hard to master and I would see the pressure from regular posters who contribute stuff on a daily basis as being the greatest obstacle to overcome. You can NOT be weak in this whoring world baby as some people can type some nasty ass shit like: Newb, N3wb, Noob, N00b, N0ob, N0oB, Whore, whor3, contest whore, Fail, FLAIL, F@il, fAil, Fail, loser....etc and if you can't take the names you will snap like an old ladies hip after she falls down when she tries to pick up her cat that hasn't eaten in three days because she's so damn poor that she have to eat the damn cat food. If you have tears in your eyes ir any feelings from that old lady consider your career in contest whoring OVER.

The life of contest whore is a hard long one, but it can be a good one if you play your cards right so keep your chin up hi and your F5 button humming.

I have finished 4 years of college and now have my Bachelors of Business Administration, with my major in marketing and I'm just your average Joe who frequents this site, especially when I am at work.
I missed the whole big bang of Destructoid (joined Nov '06) but I didn't miss the Dprime phrase, or Summa those were epik lulz and good times. I found this site while I was writing a report in college on piracy (don't ask me how...) and I've had friends and smelt good ever since.



My first video game console was a NES that my grandma bought me along with MegaMan and I must say that it was an amazing experience. I am pretty much open minded when it comes to video games and consoles but so far I must say that I am partial to Sony. I started out loving the Playstation solely because of Resident Evil as I frigging love zombie stuff! let's just say that I was mega jealous about the 360 getting dead rising, but my brother bought it and I hated it.

Call me a Sony fanboy if you will but I also own and still have these other amazing systems with a crap load of games to go with 'em:

Nes, SNES, GameCube, DS, Wii (no N64, I know), Playstation (mom has it), PS2, PSP, PS3, Dream Cast and an Xbox. I plan on getting a 360 as well in the future sometime but I want to know that it wont RROD on me. I don't even own one and it scares me.



Mix's top 10 favorite games/series that he just loves to play (In no specific order)

-Silent Hill
-Resident evil
-Final Fantasy (9 was a fail)
-Mario Paint
-Deus Ex (#2, not so tight)
-7th Saga (It'll make grown men cry it's so freaking hard)
-Command and Conquer
-Metal Gear Solid
-Diablo
-Anything FPS, I'm pretty much a sucker for decent FPS titles: (Cod4, Bioshock, F.E.A.R, Dues Ex...etc) and no not Crysis game play is Vanilla bland.


I made a D-toid song and I got a e-mail from Knee Row saying I f*cking rule, so if you can ch-ch-ch-check it out.
