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 or chatting to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

The Destructoid Battle of the Rock Bands Begins (Final Details Inside)
Andrew Benton | 2:08 PM on 02.08.2008 12 comments


Before I begin this contest, let us go over a few of the basics.
This contest revolves around the game Rock Band. 4-piece bands of Destructoid members will be put together and will work together for 2 weeks to achieve their highest possible total cumulative score for 4 songs and bonus song to be named later. The contest will start today. I will gift each member of the winning team 320 MS points to purchase two RB songs. Please PM pictures or videos of the team's best scores and I will add them together to make a total score. All four members of the band must be present in the picture for it to count. To answer a question that has been asked, I am trusting everyone to be honest but if I do find out that someone’s picture is fake, their entire team will be disqualified. Do not worry, my other team members will be receiving the prize if we win the contest. The contest will end on February 24th. I am extending the contest another week.
These are the participants

I will send Personal Messages to every team concering the contest, but I ask that you try to get in touch with each member of the team.
When you send pics, try and come up with a band name and I will post it in future updates.
These are the songs for this excellent event.
Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult

Say It Ain't So by Weezer

Epic by Faith No More (cause it's Epic)

Won't Get Fooled Again by the Who

The Bonus Song can be any song that is Tier Level is 4-6 (Moderate, Skilled and Challenging)
It includes DLC and I will not except songs submission below or above that level cap.
If the next two weeks’ DLC falls into any of those Tiers, it can be used.
Sorry, about any confusion that this event has caused for people. It was made with good intentions. Hopefully, it goes well for everyone

Hey Power Glove, hate to tell you this but I'm not going to be online tonight and not till late tomorrow night. Maybe we should set up an emailer for our team to figure out when we can meet.
