Destructoid is finally turning four-years-old and not only do I get to celebrate that, but this time I am also celebrating my third year with Destructoid. When I joined this site, I don't think I ever really understood the unbelievable impact it would have on me or anyone else. Destructoid has helped so many of us find friends, have shoulders to cry on, people to celebrate with and there's even been the occasional romance. Most of all, we always found people who were there when we needed them the most. Many of us have grown up with this site, watched it take those first few brave steps and many more will continue to grow with it.
I sat for a long time thinking about what type of post to make for this birthday, so I enlisted the help of Malcor, a Dtoder here in the UK to make me a random mash up of footage he has taken from the numerous amounts of Dtoid UK meets. This video is a celebration, because without this site I wouldn't have these memories, or be looking forward to so many more.
Hollie Bennett is Destructoid's UK Community Manager and video producer/personality. She also the host of our British podcast, models, and will totally drink you under the table boys.

Happy Birthday Dtoid from good ol' London town! If it wasn't for you then the people in the above video will probably have never met and the world would have been a much less sexier place.
Also to the people who haven't done so: Join the Dtoid UK google group and make this year even bigger and more awesome for Dtoid and Dtoid UK <3
I'm in the preview image. Nice! Happy Birthday Dtoid! I haven't been around for that long, but if anything the community really makes it easy to wish you -had- been. Ah well, plenty of time to make up for it!
Wow Destrcutoid you did a very good job for gaming for the last 5 years.
That's nice video about birthday wishes to Destructoid. Well I have searched over internet to find best sites for happy birthday wishes. Thanks
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!
