The Destructoid KarE3oke party sponsored by Hammersuit, GoNintendo, IndustryGamers, and GamersGate was a huge success (PC and Mac World even talked about our party!) The party held at the Caffe Brass Monkey was packed full of gamers, journalists, developers, publishers and maybe even a hobo or two at some point. Even when the open bar closed down, people still stuck around and enjoyed some karaoke well into 2:00AM. Jesus. Didn't these people have a job to do or something in the morning?!
Big thanks to everyone that was able to make it out. I think it's safe to say that we'll definitely be doing this again next year. I'd say more about the party, but pictures say a thousand words and the gallery below has over 100 photos for you to check out. Plus, most of the night was a blur to me ... How did a Dtoid sticker get on my crotch?!
[Thanks to Joe Burling, Dexter345, MommaDonna, Suff0Cat and Golgotron for the photos!]

This was such a badass time. Can't wait till next year. ;)
Dale fucking rocked "I Believe I Can Fly" (I was only too happy to fill in during that "fly-y-y-y-y-y" part in the bridge).
Also, PinkSage!
Well, I'll go to the karE3oke party in 4 years. Looks like a great time though.
Man, DTOID can drink! The poster for the event was pretty sweet. Any chance of a poster like that for sale in the future?
I'm in some pictures! (Naia-the-Gamer too, RAWR!)
I went apeshit right next to you over "I'm on a Boat". Best song of the night!
@Kyle
YOU sang Yoda! Dude I went apeshit over that too, and so did all of my friends! I'd say that was my second "voice-hoarsing" song.
It was an absolute blast. Thanks to everyone.
How long were you and your crew there, man? Still can't believe we didn't run into each other! I showed up pretty late, around, maybe, ten thirty or so. Had to convince my drunk friends that the cab ride there would be worth it. In the end, they all had a great time and were very happy(and drunk).
Sad to think the next time an epic DTOID bar event like this may happen, for me anyway, is next year at E3. =`(
"I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms
If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly" =)
I felt the love from everyone I met, including all the editors (Niero, Anthony, Samit, Jim, Dale) I met, so I'm really looking forward to the next meet-up!
