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

 



At E3 this year we got a chance to speak to many people. Some big and some small. But on our final day of E3, I realized that after hanging out with Cheapy all week, we didn't have much to show the Dtoid Army about what he is like. We thought you would enjoy getting to know him on a personal level with an in-depth interview. By the way ... he is freaking tall.

So here it is -- everything you ever wanted to know about Cheapy (David Abrahms), and how cheapassgamer.com came to be. I tried my hardest to do this interview in true Dtoid fashion, so if you don't like it, you're not a hardcore Dtoider.

[Thanks to Cheapy, and also Husky for his camera skillz]

I am way too new, but I appreciate the shout out. I've been hanging around Destructoid for almost a year now, but I'm finally coming out of my shell.

The credits are no longer as long as the actual movie, they're 4 times as long. Congratulations Ron. I think we've really achieved something here.

Dtoid is bad. And yes you are right, by bad I mean bad mother fucken ass. Since I found Dtoid I stopped going anywhere else for my game news, healthy probably not but ignorance is bliss. On a side note, can a lowly South American world renowned terrorist get a shout out I mean damn. I hate Paris, I think Snaileb sits in front on MS Paint all day waiting to gank any swag contest that may arise on dtoid, I used to like Ron Workman, I have all the qualifications for a shout out that one needs don’t I?

CheapyD is the #1 C-list Internet Celeb alive!! I can't wait to watch this video later. After having listened to the CAGcast since it's inception I can safely say that this video probably isn't going to be appropriate for work. Considering the fact that Cheapy freely talks about his wife performing certain "services" in the shower with mild-mannered Wombat at his side, I can only imagine what he says with Workman around.

CheapyD + Greybush = Win Sauce on a Lightly Toasted Bun

Cheapy D, thanks for CuCUMber Days. Ron Workman is the Antichrist. Niero is the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse (aka Destructoid). Vid is win to the win power.

The lack of professionalism evident in that video, and by extension the entire site, is shocking. I've been feeling this for a while now but the video has confirmed it. Do you lot think this is all some sort of joke or something?

wooo woooo! Double shouts! Yes, I do rhyme with boobies, and it's quite possible that a rip in the space time continuum will occur at PAX the moment that Dyson and I meet. Either that, or we'll form yet another clone out of our chest hair.
