Quantcast






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!

HAHAHHA the superhero detoid robot with massively huge hulk hands made my fucking day. it really did. especially the noise effets when it was done. there can only be so much win before we all start to self destruct. i'm telling you.

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.
