Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Also, YTMND has the best AFD joke going on now.
Also, Reddit.com's Reddigg has been my favourite so far today.
Also don't forget NG's totally lame and rubbish ones.

FARK.com also has The New FARK Experience coming April 2nd.
Call me an idiot but I'd love that Killzone Pix game.
In other Metal Gear joke news, all characters in Metal Gear Online(save the special characters) have voices of the opposite genders(those damn trannys). It's not that great of a prank, but interesting nonetheless.

NO LION ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.
May or not be a hoax.

I was JUST about to post that myself. Awesome. I seriously hope that they use the walrus boss in the actual game assuming that the actual game comes out.
Just read some of the posts.
PRC can bask in penis jokes and bewbs! world peace confirmed. I love NG.
Beat me to it! Newgrounds was secretly ran by pinkos!
The Valve "Jarate" thing is brilliant, only because as a foreigner living in Australia I can confirm that they do indeed throw jars of urine at each other.
