Quantcast



On this week's < Destructoid Rewind < the Reverend's opus the Mario Brothers on the big screen dominates the charts with over a sixty thousand readers (yes, yes, that's over 9,000). Was it a masterpiece or is he watching the film through retro goggles? Tough to say, but comments sure did bring some reclusive fans of the film out of their shells.  Other oddities include a rumor that made number 9 didn't turn out to be Rock Band, so maybe that project was put on the shelf or will follow suit? Who knows. Whatever it is, I hope it involves Wyld Stallions.

This week's pre-Valentine Destructoid archives* feature two romantic headlines: Living the dream as a game designer and how to potty train your wife from ruining your addictive gaming lifestyle. If you haven't tied the knot yet you can probably get around having to deal with that by seeking out women that photograph themselves half naked convered in video game consoles: the ever-present ladies of Destructoid Nerdcore land the number six spot. If you're having trouble meeting these women, maybe you need to consider a career in game testing. The hours are long but there's always the perks!

* Editor's Note: This is a public service announcement from one guy to another: V-Day is next week. Make plans so your loved one doesn't toss a console at your face for forgetting.

Rev's Super Mario Bros. movie post was one of the first posts I remember reading on Destructoid. That was back when I was a lurker and hadn't made an account yet.

So are we forgetting the "MSG4 to 360" post or are we just ignoring it ever existed?

EatonTJ: That was posted 05.28.2007. So when May 28th 2008 rolls around, I'm pretty sure we won't "ignore" it.

Over 60 thousand views. That's awesome.

Some games don't even sell that well.

Wow, a year has gone by fast. I remember one of my first articles from my Dtoid lurking days was that Super Mario Bros. one Rev wrote up.

How the hell does a post about the Super Mario Bros. has 60,000 views, but the Nerdcore post only has 12,000 views?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!

@ Hamza CTZ Aziz:

In my face. That will teach to give more than a cursory review of the subject matter. I thought this was for all of 2007. Up mine.

Rev's Mario post was the first Dtoid article I ever submitted to Fark.com that went green.

Rev is made of superflowerwinsauceages. <-I'm adding that word to Firefox spell check dictionary.
