About Me


Yo East Coast, where you at?

Hello, fellow D-toiders, my name is Andrew and I reside in New York City. It has been such an amazing experience being a part of this wonderful community. From my activities as a host of the Friday Night Fight events to becoming one of the community members responsible for handling the Destructoid NY group, coordinating East Coast meetups to helping the PAX meetup group, I have loved every minute of my time spent with this community.

Please hang out with other Dtoid members whether it would on the main site chat to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

My D-Toid Love Letter

My Thank You Letter To D-Toid(Belated birthday celebration and a credit-like list)
power-glove | 3:39 PM on 03.17.2008 21 comments


I am very happy to wish D-Toid a happy 2nd anniversary and Mr. Gonzalez, a very happy 30th B-Day. I know I am very late with this but good things take time.
Let me explain how I came to know D-Toid. Last year in late September, I had attended the Ziff-Davis’s New York technology convention known as Digital-Life. On the last day of the show, I saw a guy in a Destructoid T-Shirt playing Guitar Hero 3. I had blogged about some small things like my special achievements that I received from the game Skate. I noticed it and we began to converse on topics ranging from every home console’s major flaws to why one should never play POP:WW (stupid Godsmack song). We talked for about an hour and then the show had ended. It was such a great conversation, I felt inspired to be a much more active member of this community and contribute in any way that I could.
Since that time, I have provided this community with a great deal of info (especially on what maybe the greatest party game ever, Rock Band) and hosted several games for the community’s Friday Night Fight events. In such a short time, I was able to talk with and get to know some tremendous people. From Atheistium and Ascythopicism , Butmac and Demios, DVD and Phist, Rio and Tazar, to Steel Squirrel and Zero Tolo and the countless people who I have played with online and have added me to their friends list, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support and companionship.
During the NY Narp, I saw greatness of this community first hand and met many great people. I will continue to be an active contributor to this community. I will try to improve my writing and contribute more than just news. I have been told on many occasions that I am a creative writer and I am going to do my best to live up to those expectations.
Now, it is time for a credit-like list to thank this great community. Warning, it is long.
