I have run into so many excellent human beings in the short time I've been involved with Dtoid that I could spend years in the accounting of it all. However, I want to take a quick moment to pay tribute to someone who ranks near the top of my respect leaderboards.





Yojimbo gets my <3 and mad propers today for many reasons, but here are just a few :

1. Yojimbo is an honorable man -- Whether it be in comments, or blog posts, or in a game, his sportmanship shines through. His 'good game' philosophy extends to all his interactions. He can hold an opinion that is the polar opposite from you and still comport himself with dignity and mutual respect.

2. Yojimbo is a man of substance -- Yojimbo doesn't open his mouth unless he has something worth saying. His opinions, posts, and comments are thought out. He says what he means and means what he says, and he knows when saying nothing is the wisest policy. You young'uns might not remember these commercials, but this quality makes Jimbo alot like EF Hutton. Because when EF Hutton talks, people listen. The beard doesn't hurt.

3. Yojimbo gives to the community -- Yojimbo recently took some of his spare time to make me, a community member he has never met in the flesh, a brand new blog header with no other reason than that he saw an opportunity to give to someone else. Check it out above. It is straight baller, and you wish it was yours. It makes me want to Kanye-meme everyone else's headers. "I'm happy for you, and I'mma let your blog finish loading, but Yojimbo's header on walkyourpath's blog is one of the best headers of all time!"

I know I'm not the only one who has benefited from his contributions around here. So with that in mind, let's do a little something to show him how much we appreciate his presence on Dtoid. The Jedi live by a similar code to the samurai, so in that spirit, I am giving away a code for a free copy of KOTOR on Steam which will be awarded to the person who comes up with the best Yojimbo tribute over the next 7 days.





It can be a poem, a drawing, a song, a story, a picture, a flash game, whatever -- just so long as it does right by our resident samurai! Just make sure you post it or link to it in the comments here! Even if you don't want to participate in the contest, take a quick moment to comment about your favorite Yojimbo moment or just share why you think he's the bee's knees.
