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

 



Contest update: Superdrybones wins $69 nacho+cat+skateboard flavored dollars and a slightly used Publix mallard duck. We'd  love to also send you photos of our puss-filled breasts that shoot angry babies from the nipples but you'll have to wait for the game. Thanks to everyone that participated in the contest and CTZ for pulling the random ballot while while I'm stripping for Japanese people. Teamwork!
 
Original post: Remember that check from hell?   
 
Last week, EA tempted us with $200 to test Destructoid's greed as part of their "Circle of Hell" campaign to promote Dante’s Inferno.  We armed ourselves with many of your suggestions and tried to walk the line of both greed and charity, mocking the fourth circle of hell by hitting the streets of Miami for a silly shopping spree with our camera (Hialeah-style!). If you think stealing money is hard, try giving dollar bills away in person -- you'd be surprised by how many people will turn you down! So we had to resort to other creative methods...
 
A big thank-you goes out to EA, Visceral Games, the Dante's Inferno PR minions, Virgil, and Dtoid community member SnakeDude4Life, who helped us perform videogame JOURNALISM. Also, Satan.

I think the only way I would take free tacos is if they were handed out by a Robot in a fine white suit.

Free money however, would be taken any way I can get it.

Also of note: this video made me laugh out loud in the library (at the free taco part), and everyone around me looked at me funny :/

Giving away money? I could use some. Sob story incoming, but this is all true, I swear on my life.


I was just dropped from all of my college classes yesterday, when I was told that I never paid the school for anything. I tried to clear it up, and I'm being forced to resubmit financial aid, which can take well close to a month to be able to be processed. In the meantime, I haven't had a job since May, and I've been riding my bike 4 miles down busy main roads (mostly without a sidewalk to be safe on), since I don't have any money to put gas in my car. I don't know whats going to happen to me as far as when I'll be able to attend class again, or whats going to happen this semester, as well as the next one. I can't get my old job on campus back, because of the financial aid office royally fucking up my financial aid (work-study job, run via FA office). Until everything gets sorted out, I am not allowed to attend class, have no way of getting money to get to class safely, and am more or less miserable.

So god damnit, I want that money. Not because of "OMG FREE MONEY DO WANT LOL", but because I fucking need it. I need it to get to class safely, I need it to put gas in my truck, I need it to be able to purchase books, if I ever get to go back to school this semester. Don't believe me? Feel free to send me an email.

I was sitting on a bench late one night waiting for some friends to finish up in the pub. Some random drunk punter stumbled past turned back and handed me a few quid thinking i was a bum. I gladly accepted.
