I was browsing the groups on Flickr today and noticed that Destructoid does not have a devoted Flickr group for the community. There are, of course, the two personal Destructoid flickr pages
here, and
here, but that doesn't do the community much good, does it? As a remedy, I've created a dedicated Destructoid group on Flickr, which you can find at
http://www.flickr.com/groups/destructoid/. Dtoid UK has one already with 11 members. I know we can do better than 11 members. So if you have a flickr, join up and add your shots to the pool. It doesn't have to be videogame related, so long as it's original work and not just copypasta. This is just another way for us to keep up and in touch with everyone. Please have fun and keep it work safe.
Also, I figure this would be as good a time as any to mention that
I've started a 365 project. For those who don't know, I fancy myself
a bit of a photographer, and this is a rather large undertaking in which I'm to shoot a picture each day for 365 days straight. I'm going to post some highlighted images here each month (if that's acceptable to the lot of you). I'll try to just use the ones that are VG related, but inevitably some of the images will be personal and might not interest you (unless you just like photography). Let me know if you'd rather I not continue to make these kinds of posts.
Additionally, I'm going to do another legal form in the next week or so, and I promise I'll get to Bowser soon as well. This project is just taking up a bit of my free time.
Day 1/365: Abbie New Year!
This was the first day of my 365, January 1st. This is of my puppy, Abbie. She's a red headed teacup poodle. She and I are not easily excited.
Day 6/465: A Slime Approaches
As you well know, the blue slime is a staple of the Dragon Quest series, also known as Dragon Warrior here in the States. It is usually the first enemy you fight. I bought this when Dragon Quest 8 came out. It's actually a functional PS2 controller, and one of my favorite things.
Day 12/365: The Mushroom Kingdom
Pictured is the blue mushroom in its natural habitat, amongst the other, lesser fungi. The outer casing of this particular mushroom is rather hard and tasteless, but inside is an edible, albeit foul and disgusting, candy-like substance.
Day 14/365: The Vistana
This is a building near outside of my office in downtown San Antonio. It has always reminded me of Gotham City.
Day 19/365: Who's watching the watchers?
Hey! It's me.
Day 23/265: In my room.
This is my room, and the only room in my apartment. See if you can spot anything awesome.
Day 25/365: Aria di Mezzo Carattere
A page from the player's guide of the greatest game ever made - Final Fantasy 6. This is from the opera scene, which Chad covered in
#6 of the Memory Card.
At any rate, I hope you enjoyed these. And please let me know (kindly, if possible) whether or not I should STFUAJPG and not post these here.
Thanks!
I'd like to add a pic I took with a crappy Kodak point and shoot since it's kinda related :)
