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

 



Regular readers of Destructoid should, by now, be very familiar with the name Joe Burling. Also known as user BuckF1tches, Joe has been invaluable as of late, providing us with news tips constantly and daily. What we get to post on the frontpage is but a sliver of the amount of work Joe does for us and we love him for it. However, Joe Burling is not a man to selfishly hoard his tipping secrets like so much nazi gold, and after months of people begging for him to reveal just how he's able to submit so much news to the Dtoid tips hotline, Joe has produced this exclusive interview for all wannabe news hounds out there. 
 
Want to know how to find the time to help the Destructoid cause? Want to know which sites to keep an eye on for news? Want to know why Joe is so sexy? Finally, the answers are yours for the taking. Get a pen and paper ready, because this is your catch-all guide to becoming a true icon.
 
[With thanks of course, to Joe Burling]

I saw that coming before I even clicked the link, but I went ahead and watched the whole damn thing anyways. Personally, I would have gone with Chocolate Rain on this one.

Far more informative than the news about Halo 3.

Good points made there, must watch for all new d'toid readers.

It's amazing how many /b/tards and /v/irgins read this site, it really is.

It's also amazing how many of them seem to write for the site as well. It's like a home away from home, Destructoid is.

And yes Pangloss, Chocolate Rain would have been a welcome change.

It's a pity Buck didn't mention that he steps away from the mic to breathe.

Chocolate Rain, while fresh and funny, kinda gets under my skin. I did consider it, but decided to stick with the classic.

What is it with this obsession with legend R Astley? This guy is the cornerstone of 1980's UK pop along with K Minogue and J Donovan.

Seriously WHY???

RJG, don't associate me with that cesspool at 4chan please. I'll happily gank the memes without lowering myself to that place.

You said the keyword there, cornerstone of 80's pop.

This is another public service announcement brought to you in part, by slim shady:

-fuck off with the Rickroll'd
-fuck off with the l3375p34k (this definitely includes "pwned" AND pronouncing it with a "P" over Xbox Live
-fuck off with the GAF5p34k (this includes "amirite?", "epic fail", "oh noes", etc.
-fuck off with the Killzone vs Halo debate. Killzone would have to have gameplay to qualify as a game.

That is all for now, carry on. (fuck off with the "carry on", like you're some kind of internet police!)

I have never once found the whole Rick Roll thing amusing and think that it should be banished from te internet...although this one made me smile a little and I totally fell for it.
