Why I Love Destructoid (Short and Sweet)
zombiekiller13 \| 7:25 AM on 08.25.2009	7 comments

I love Destructoid because, while there are the occasional trolls to deal with, I don't have to worry about this:

The underage gamer. The kid who finds joy in mocking older gamers. The kid who uses haxor-L33t speak, even though the extent of their hacking skills ends with their ability to guess their parent's email password. You post an intelligent, well-thought out blog/comment, they come in with their failure to grasp the English language, their love of replacing letters with numbers, and their excess of exclamation points.

They aren't here, and I love Destructoid for that.

I totally wanted to leave an unintelligible, "1337" comment here. Really, I did, but I just can't do it.

Respect man, I feel the same.

I'll give you that, don't hate on the young guns though, its' not always just just them who are shameless trolls, I'll bet a fair share of them are older too.

Garison, it's not that I hate all young gamers. Hell, I'm sure the majority of them are fine. It's just that, in my years on gaming sites, they are usually the ones who bring things down to annoying levels. GameFAQs is a good example.

Not all the time...it's not like the Internet is flooded with children/pre-teens. There are definitely people in the 18 and older demographic that pull the same kind of shit.

And ZombiePlatypus, I'm expecting at least one comment like that.

I'm young, but I don't use the l337hax0r speak or play Halo. Am I one of the exceptions to this rule?

Comments policy

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!

about me

I've been playing video games for many, many years, starting at the innocent age of 4 (back in 1981). I have no affiliation to any one system; if a console has good games, I'm there. Currently own an NES (yes, it works), Genesis, DS Lite, Gamecube, PS2, Wii, and 360...oh, and a PC, but I rarely play games on it. With well over 300 games for all systems in my collection...pretty sure it's approaching 400 now.

As of late, my 360 has been getting as much play-time as my PS2 had. My poor Wii hasn't been touched in a long time...heh heh. He said "wii".

Hooray.

I said...hooray.

For my win on Chad's "The Great Retro Quiz! .23: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link":

'Bout time my knowledge of the red-headed step-child of the Zelda universe came in handy. Not counting the CD-i games...they are like the bald, albino street urchins that somehow made it into your house and refuse to leave even after you feed them rat poison.
