Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



I nearly fell off my chair when I received the following email this morning:

Dear Niero: It is my pleasure to inform you that Destructoid has been selected as an Official Honoree for the Games-related category in The 11th Annual Webby Awards. The Official Honoree distinction is awarded to work that scores in the top 15% of all work entered into the Webby Awards. With over 8,000 entries received from all 50 states and over 60 countries, this is an outstanding accomplishment for you and your team. Congratulations!

Your listing on the Webby site is located at http://www.webbyawards.com/webbys/honorees-07.php

It's a good thing you can't actually see a guy tear up on a blog, because I'm definitely doing a pretty bad job of holding them in as I type this.

Seriously. Everybody. Thank you.

even cooler now that i checked out the list of sites. Destructoid is the ONLY video game blog. Gamesradar is a big video games news source, but it isn't a blog.

After getting married, I started writing for Dtoid to keep women AWAY from me. Now that Dtoid is blowing up like the Technodrome in that one episode on Ninja Turtles where the Technodrom blows up, this is becoming a problem.

Awesome job on building an unstoppable community of video game playing, short bus riding, helmet wearing animals.

No Niero, thank YOU! If it wasn't for you and the rest of the Destructoid team, the site wouldn't be as awesome as it is. Congrats though, you definitely deserve it bro.

That really says something about Dtoid, that this site has not been around for that long and its already the biggest, baddest, most kick ass gaming blog on the interwebs

Wow. Destructoid has been around for what, like 13 months? And already, it’s on its way to WORLD DOMINATION! Congratulations are certainly in order, ladies and gentlemen...I suggest a Destructoid Webby Bash, but you should hold it in New York City this time so I can go.

As I said on the one-year anniversary: Keep up the great work!

Late to the party as usual (damn hawaii time). Grats Niero, don't let this get to your polished robot head, It's already taken over Summa (though we knew he had a god complex since the "immaculate conception").

Nah, grats to all the d'toid staff, there isn't another games blogging website as honest and able to laugh at itself like you guys do day in and day out. From revant's rants to brutal's great coverage of games yet to come out, you guys rock!
