21, from Bloomington Indiana. I am in college finishing my telecommunications degree. I currently am kicking ass with GameZombie, check us out on youtube @ gamezombieutube (channel).
It has appeared that we have upset a few people with our content, and frankly, i understand why. For that i apologize. Let this blog be an introduction to why we are here, and what we are all about.
A few years ago GameZombie. starting making videos similar to the one you see below this paragraph. Well as demands have increased, fans have commented, and students in college have moved on...the medias we created began to change. GameZombie began to have a lot more involved students at Indiana University, and therefore the ideas came in left and right. Why not interview developers, why not critique games, why not make a television show, etc...etc. Therefore GameZombie began to create variety. Some examples will follow:
Here is what GameZombie began as:
Nothing more than people giving video reviews for new games. But then GameZombie realized that there was a tough market for the game reviews, and began to develop better ideas, more unique, and more centralized on GameZombie itself. Thus, the Round Table discussions came forth:
Finally! Something to be proud of, but we were still trying to succeed to a new level. Meanwhile, taking flights out to different states within the U.S. to interview gaming developers, and bring our viewers the word right from the main source, similarly found below:
And yet another example:
So as your beginning to realize, we are not here to promote and make money...that's not it at all, we simply want to give YOU, the viewer some awesome videos from critiques, viewers, and the producers. With all this in mind, we want you as the viewers, to be able to give structural critiques, tell us what you like, what you dont like, and overall just welcome us to destructoid. With this account actually belonging to me, I am simply sharing what we want to create with you guys and girls here at destructoid. We dont want to overwhelm your C-Blogs, in fact i personally love reading all the information and well informative blogs you all post, therefore whether its us putting up a new video, or talking about recent video game news, we want to be apart of the community, me specifically (th3deceased).
Just remember, we are a bunch of college kids (broke) college kids just wanting to give you all something cool! I mean its not everday that we get a chance to meet Cliff Bleszinski and share that with you all!
So for all those individuals we may have upset in the beginning, i am here to apologize, and ask you all to hopefully enjoy what i am bringing to the forums. For your viewing pleasure, here is our most recent work we have been working on:
ButtonMashers - Your Friendly Neighborhood Forum Lurkers!
And yes you may even note, we read everyone's blogs, so even your posts may be in our show, so check it out! Season 2 coming soon!
@PENDELTON21, thanks a lot! i really am glad to help release this tension individuals had with us. we really arent anything special, just a bunch of people who like to talk about games, haha! thanks again!
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Welcome back to the fold, my lost sheep.
