Hello Destructoid,
I wish that I had posted this earlier, but alas, I forgot. For the past couple months, a bunch of students at Harvard and MIT have been organizing something called ROFLcon, which is basically a bunch of panels hosted by all sorts of internet memes. For example, this morning I attended a panel on making money with memes with the people who created Chuck Norris Facts, Joe Mathlete Explains Marmaduke, JibJab.com, Rocketboom, and One Red Paperclip. Following that I attended a panel on the rise of LOLspeech, with people from I Can Has Cheezeburger, LOLcat Bible, LOLcode, LOLtrek, and LOLsecretz. Right now, as I'm writing this, I am watching Tron Guy and Matt from Where The Hell is Matt give a talk on how to keep your dignity. I stupidly forgot my camera, so I'll take a picture of them with my built in web-cam (yay for macbooks!). However, the reason for the post is to let you all know is that if you are interested, you can watch ANY of the videos life at the
ROFLcon website.
I'll probably post later today or tomorrow with some more meaningful stuff if I have time, since I have a major animation project due next week and I am waaaaay behind.
enjoy!
lol, wut?
that's basically saying that if you want to meet the people that create all the popular internet sites/videos/etc. you need to review your life. just the fact that you're commenting on destructoid makes you a complete hypocrite. if the makers of a website you like were coming to a place right next to you (whatever it might be, in my case it was XKCD, Cyanide and Happiness, and Homestar Runner), i'm sure you would try to see them. my advice is that you need to review your life and figure out how to not be an asshole and to let people who do things that they enjoy just enjoy them. some people do things that don't involve solely videogames.
