Happy 2nd anniversary to Destructoid and a very happy birthday to the man himself, Niero! I present to you this special short animation that I have put together.

I decided to be mostly inspired by the great Terry Gilliam of Monty Python, but there some other references in there as well. I used mainly Photoshop, After Effects, Flash and good old fashion animation paper to create the video.

You know I want to get all cuddly with you for a second ... this community is so awesome I don't even know where to begin. To the many amazing people I have come to love from Destructoid, I want to send a big hello to you all!! CBM, you guys are like the bread and butter of it all, and over the months we have grown and really become a fun little group. I hope to see all of you at PAX this summer as well! Niero, you continue to amaze me with Destructoid as it continues to grow. Here's to another 2 years of success!

If something has a bit of Pythonesque, it's full of win. Great job!

Ha, at first I thought Mr. Dtoid was gonna start walking all Saturday Night Fever like, but it ended up being better with the Monty Python reference.
