Rio's Happy Box :: IT'S CHRISTMAS!
riomccarthy | 1:42 PM on 03.25.2008 45 comments




*Warning: This is going to be a very graphic heavy blog*

Ok, so I already knew today was going to be a great day because I have 3 days off in a row and Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core comes out today, which I have and will be playing as soon as I finish this post. Then, even more awesome occurred. Two very lovely packages from my bestest friend, Colette appeared on my doorstep this morning! I can definitely say today is freaking Christmas!

First off, my awesome Kid Ninja that I had won from Tomopop's first contest (which later lead to me becoming an editor) showed up today! :D So right now this piece of awesome is gracing my computer desk. But here are some pictures:













My second package is because she is absolutely the most awesome person ever. I had asked her opinion on what Destructoid shirt to order, and she just offered to send me a couple. ;-; Now, when I hear a couple I think like.. 2. FIVE shirts showed up at my door today! And not only that but two cute little StrangeCo. figures from the Vivisect Playset line as well! I just opened the box and had a look of awe that only O.O can explain. Also inside was the cute little message about this being my box of happy that I've used for the header. Yes, yes it is my Happy Box. The two StrangeCo. figures are the T. Han and A. Ausgang and they're so awesome and just sitting all cute on my computer desk as well. So here are some pictures of those:







Now for the shirt pictures. I am still so half-asleep right now it's ridiculous, as it shows in my pictures, but I had to take pics immediately when I got the boxes. So I had thrown water on my face and half my hair is wet, but it's totally worth it.

So hey.. make games suck less! K? This definitely applies to XBLA..


Bomberman FTW!


Rawk out with yer cawk out Dtoid!


Rockin' it vintage style


I <3 you guys!


Ok, I just want to thank Colette again for being so awesome, not only for sending me this stuff but for allowing me to be a part of Tomopop. There will be a very special Show and Tell article up tomorrow, so be sure to keep an eye for that! So thanks again, you will receive many a rape at PAX :D

-Rio

The "Make Games Suck Less" looks great and I know I've seen the Bomberman one before but I just can't remember where.

Anyway, carry on with your awesomeness :D.

@Riomccarthy

Ah well that explains it. I left, in the time I left, you obviously started posting, I came back in December which was about 3 or so months so to me it felt like you had only been here 2-3 months.*

I suspect some people are going to be disappointed when this isn't as much about your "happy box" as they thought.

At least she's cute. If this post was about the "happy box" we all thought i'd feel terribly guilty, she's just a baby.

I can say for sure there are a great deal of pictures of things here. I can only assume this means you hate us all, by flaunting such a bounty.

Agreed with Wedge. Does your malice know no bounds? ;)

That is most certainly one happy motherfucking box.

@Neonie
Her success can be attributed thusly: 15% because she's a cute girl, and 85% because she's Awesome. Actual numbers from actual scientists.

Rio, you're awesome regardless of what nature decided to tuck betwixt your legs. Never mind the creepy folk out there who either lust after your va-jay-jay, or think it's the reason for your popularity. Fact is, you're a talented person, and just keep doing what you're doing, because it works and it makes you AMAZING! Those of us in the know realize what it takes to earn respect and reciprocate it properly. Congrats on your box o' goodies, I can think of few more that deserve it.

Also, Tazar to Cancun!
