First, a matter of cereal business. By now you've probably noticed that Destructoid (and a few other sites) is sponsored by Turning Point this week. So, how are we going to blow our sponsor's money? In the past we've given away computers, consoles, and even fried chicken but this time we're gonna PARTY!

Destructoid Turns Two 

I'm proud to announce that my strange, robotic afterbirth celebrates its anniversary next month! To celebrate two years of independent video game blogging I'm flying the whole crew to Cancun, Mexico for a weekend of topless game debate, skin cancer, and permanent liver damage -- we're looking to top our first year Miami bash. If you're 18 and over (and have a passport and your grandpappy's permission), love Dtoid, and are anywhere in the Western hemisphere we'd love for you to join us.  One person and their guest (that's TWO) will win a high-STD-risk all-expenses paid trip at an all-inclusive hotel resort to crash our party and drink our milkshakes for the weekend of April 4-6, 2008. 

CALL FOR ENTRIES - DESTRUCTOID'S BIGGEST FAN

The rules:

We'd like to party with Destructoid's biggest fanboy.  That's all there is to it.  Prove it.  Create a blog and write why you deserve to be flown down and run around the white sands on Cancun in our robot helmet, screaming at the top of your lungs, terrifying the topless Europeans. Maybe you'd like to create some artwork. Maybe you'd like to express it in a video. The entry is up to you.  Please title your blog posts DESTRUCTOID CANCUN: (blog post name) so we can track them down.  The contest ends March 25th, so get your entries in!  You can enter once a day. Don't spam the cblogs or I will bring Montezuma's revenge to your virgin bowels.

Legality:

Remember, there are Donkey Shows in Mexico. There's a chance that you might not survive this trip. We'll make you sign a waiver that we're not responsible for the retreival of your corpse, that's about it. No purchase necessary, must be a US Citizen or have some sort of method to enter and exit the country, must be in the US or Canada to enter, must not have a violent history, must be willing to fetch the boss a drink under pressure, so on and so forth.  It should be a good time. On a site note, I'm also turning the big 3-0 in March. I spent most of my youth not getting laid and playing video games -- and regret nothing. 

Everyone is invited, obviously:

Want to come? Even if you don't win the contest and want to come and hang out with us in Cancun for the weekend you're more than welcome to, the beach is big and the more the merrier! We'll announce our hotel sponsor later in the month with all the details. If you're good at starting bonfires, can play a musical instrument, or are a midget we'd love to have you.
