Quantcast



You know how when you hear your own voice on a recording you instantly are embarrassed and can’t believe you talk like that? Well, multiply that feeling by about a thousand and you will know how I feel right now.

But, to be fair to my cute aunt who doesn’t have cable (but has access to the Internet, apparently), you can watch my appearance on Attack of the Show above.

Without getting too sappy, I will say that Destructoid has pretty much changed my life. I wouldn’t be the happy, dolphin-loving chap I am today if it wasn’t for all you guys. Each and every writer, designer, contributor, and community member is pretty much amazing (to say the least). Sorry, I just had to get it out. I am very emotional right now, okay?

And, yes, you can’t see it, but I am hugging my computer monitor. Hold me, Dell Model #7650 … hold me ...

[Thanks to G4 and Dan for the video]

Congrats Chad!

Hope you at least had fun in the moment :P.

It gets slightly less painful each time you get to see or hear yourself (or each beer you drink before you have to see or hear yourself, not sure which).

I said it on the other post, but that one chick said that the DRM issue could hurt Bioshock's chance for GOTY. Why? GOTY should be determined by how good the game is, not some crappy DRM issues.

Good job Chad! Don't worry, you look fine on camera. And we there must have been some delicious jailbait in front of you on the left ;)

You guys are vicious. I hate to see what Natalie's and Robert's fans are saying about Chad.

Personally, I think he did great. You should have your own show, Chad.

Oh Natalie, why must the pretty ones always be so dim.

And nice work Chad! Easily had the most intelligent assessments on the panel.

And yes, I broke down and watched a piece of G4 programing. What can I say? I'm weak.

first things frist the girl is very cute, second you had to go and mention you had a ps3 and it wasn't fair for paramount and dreamworks pictures to be only on one format how do you think hddvd people feel like when all the movies are being mass produced on blu-ray, i for one don't care as i can play both because i encode them in either vc1 or .264 format and they play right off my xbox 360 dvd drive

Good job Chad, seems whats-her-face just wanted to be argumentative, and the fat dude got too much face time. My copy of Bioshock works fine on every 360, so I don't know what the hell she's talking about...and who cares about DC characters? The Justice League...pfft.

I haven't bothered to read the other comments because I'm a jackass, but ..

... all I have to say is: The Loop = fail, and Chad "Chizzo" Concelmo = goddamn fucking awesome!

(He is filled with awesome and win more than anyone else I know)

Hey Chad, was there something to the right of you that you kept staring at while recording this?
It seemed like you looked into the camera then your eyes wavered to your right. Was there like a mob boss with a big sign saying "WE HAVE YOUR CHILDREN! PROCLAIM YOUR LOVE TO BIOSHOCK AND ALL WILL BE WELL"?

@ridley80,
Ha ha. No BioShock ruffians, but there were a bunch of producers and camera guys standing all around me. Since it is so hard to stare into the camera the whole time you are talking, my eyes would wander and look at them from time to time. Also, there were naked ladies. :)
