GamePro.com recently ran a poll within their community to vote for their favorite gaming blog. By the will of the Ares, Destructoid had a landslide victory over our beloved Kotaku (and I've also heard AOL also bought and runs a gaming blog, imagine that?). Anyhow, an insider who shall remain nameless just snuck me the hard numbers behind the scenes. Get this:

... you guys totally landslided the GamePro Quickpoll. Out of 200,000 votes, Destructoid garnered 142,000 votes! While Kotaku and AOL Joystiq only got 58,000 combined! Just thought you’d like to hear that.

That is a lot of love, people. Huge robo-phallus thanks to everyone that supported us in our hour of need. We are lucky and privileged to be your choice. Picture me doing the cabbage patch at my desk to our theme song, because I am. Hardcore. Seriously people -- thank you. Even if it just means that one of you actually went through the trouble of hacking it and f*cked it up for everybody. (likely)

Moving on, Destructoid turns ONE YEAR OLD on March 16th (which is also my 29th  birthday!) so we are having a very big party MiamiNights.com style at either Studio A or The PawnShop that Friday with a special guest DJ. More party details to come as we approach that faithful date. Additionally, we are also giving away 500 tickets to the Paul Oakenfold concert on the following night.  Keep an eye out to win your very good reason to fly down to two parties you'll never forget (or recover from).

PS. If you think the Destructoid Las Vegas video was outrageous, wait until you see what happens when you swarm a packed Miami night club with professional camera equipment. It's like a male/female inner-slut detonator.

PS. from Ron Workman: To the 0.2% of you that voted for AOL Joystiq ... Please recalibrate your mouse because, it clicked on the wrong thing. To everyone that voted for us and Kotaku, thank you so much. You guys ROCK! Am I crazy or does anyone else doubt that this story will be stolen and put on TivoToid?

Party sounds good. You should send your private Destructoid jet to pick up the Next Lust staff in LA.

Yay for triggerfingers....

electroplankton

I've got three things to say. . .

1. That's fupped up. Look at lonely AOL in the background.

2. I have sudden flashbacks of Harvest Moon (must remember to feed dog)

3. Big-ups to Adam K. NEXTLUST must be on the invite!

iRaf

Niero Gonzalez

You do not want to buy stock into my growing credit card debt, trust me :)

Mabec

The reason you are the #1 is becouse you are REAL, and dont pretend so much as many other sites/blogs does.

Geoff

Fucking raped. DToid for life.

bhive01

It's the robot. We have a mascot, people can get behind mascots. That and little dancing asian girls...

Robert Summa

Aetsen

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think I just pissed myself a little.

KGETZ3

Get raped um ummmm Stupidstiq!

Aaron Mxy Yost

Stupid responsibilites. I would SO be at that party otherwise.

Ham Vagina

Congratulations guys, that's a hell of a milestone to hit in under a year. You sound so surprized though.

Maxpower

Triggerfingers? I used my thumb. Now to rape everything else we see.

Destructicon

'male/female inner-slut detonator' put this in the dictionaries and little black books everyone!

best concept I've come accross so far this year.
Ladies give this man a blowjob !

Shame myself can't make it to the the party,...or can I ?

Topher Cantler

BTW- some joystiqers called. Something about pantyhose and beast, location? I hung up.

JJ Rage

"It's the robot. We have a mascot, people can get behind mascots. That and little dancing asian girls..."



If what you say is true, Dtoid is just one little dancing asian robot girl away from world conquest.

xtofuconsumerx

Hey, I voted for you guys. Just please keep doing what your doing and don't sell out. Also cocks.

brad drac

GG dtoid. You folks deserve it. I might attempt to make it to the party but y'know, the atlantic and all.

Aaron Mxy Yost

DANCE PARTY!!!

Aaron Mxy Yost

Haha, self-pnwed. I killed the dance party. :(

tazarthayoot

Captain Obvious should have come out for this one too, Summa. I honestly have never visited a site as often as I have Dtoid, and I love everything about it. Congratulations, and if you guys do happen to take over the world, may have a section of it for myself? That'd be awesome, and I'd rule it with an Iron fist!

Robert Summa

Yes, well, Captain Obvious will continue to visit Dtoid.

deanhatescoffee

This happened because Dtoid pwns the webs. Congrats again on the landslide victory.

...also, le bits.

deanhatescoffee

BTW, robertsumma.com doesn't work the way it should. :)

bitshifter

kotaku is ok except only the kotaku elite can post comments. unwashed masses ftw!

Namelessted

cum on my face

tazarthayoot

Kotaku posted pictures of a girl in chain mail who does porn.

They earned my internets for 20 minutes, then right back to Dtoid.

Nick Chester

Dtoid rules.

I'm looking forward to receiving my tickets to Miami for said party. No airline preference. Make it happen.

Justice

Argh I've got the 100's of emails about this, and plus i turn 18 on March 20th

BUT I LIVE IN THE UK!

fuck me!
(not literally)

Topher Cantler

I hope someone sends me a ticket, too. then I can spend my airfare on opium and waffle batter.

tazarthayoot

Yeah really there needs to be a photoshop or robo phallus sucking contest for plane tickets to the party.

Niero Gonzalez

Rumor: open bar until 2am
