Why I Love Destructoid.
pixelpunx | 9:33 PM on 08.24.2009 5 comments


I've been dreaming of you from a distance. I sit in the coffee shop, and watch you make delectable frothy toppings on all of my peppermint mochas... but why can't I talk to you? I secretly admire you, because of your stunning abs.

I've heard your penis jokes, and seen your robot helmet. I know you so well, but doubt you have the slightest knowledge of how those things affect yours truly. I just want to touch you, but don't know how your metallic exterior would feel against my skin.

I love you, Destructoid. I just want to be with you. Will you marry me?

STFUAJPGM # 3 (Travel Tunes)
pixelpunx | 3:10 AM on 07.20.2009 2 comments


Here's episode # 3 of STFUAJPGM for interested parties to enjoy.



This episode's theme is about traveling. Maybe it's just me, but seeing long stretches of highway in front of me at 3 am is a beautiful thing. The way the center dividers shine in your headlights, the way snow covered mountains reflect the moon's light, and the way that stars never seem to move away from you.

What better travelling companion could there be than a good song?

Come check out the new episode.

It features music by Dtoid's own Zen Albatross.

Please feel free to contact if you have anything you'd like to contribute!

STFUAJPGM #2

Dtoid chiptune lovers, here you go:


STFUAJPGM #2

This episode features contributions from Destructoid members ZenAlbatross and Analoge, and focuses on the importance of opening titles and closing credits of games. I've always felt like these two thing are nearly as important as the game play itself. How many times does a player see the title screen when enduring a 40+ hour RPG? And after committing one's self to that much game play, how is the player rewarded?

Listen Here.

STFUAJPGM Episode #1 (The Story of a Hero)
pixelpunx | 9:51 PM on 06.10.2009 6 comments


Lovers of chiptune music, rejoice: Episode # 1 of STFUAJPGM is now available!



STFUAJPGM is a miniature mixtape and magazine with a focus on the freely distributed music within the chiptune community. We hope to explore an array of themes inspired by video game culture (and more) in each episode, by use of short articles, videos, pixel art, and of course: music.

This episode focuses on the story of a video game hero who's finally finished his epic quest. But isn't there more to a hero beyond killing thousands of enemies? I've always wondered what goes through the hero's mind once his story is over, and the credits role. I wonder if he regrets the decisions he's made. I wonder if taking the lives of thousands is a fair trade for hanging out with a princess.

This episode includes contributions from Shnabubula, NESTMETAL, SoundMatrix, Disasterpeace, Sam Lopez, and Jeff Bugbee.

Come check it out.
